| My brother and his fiancée stopped in for 48 hrs from the UK. They were looking to experience the city with a twist of fun. The staff was welcoming and our guide was knowledgeable - and taught me more than a few things about the city I've called home for the past 10 years. Highly recommend this activity - learning to glide wasn't hard and our instruction was geared to our individual needs. This will now be a regular fixture on our Tour-de-Santa Barbara. |

| Jerry our leader was fantastic and the Segways were outrageously fun to zip around on. We travelled to many fantastic spots on a beautiful day, and even saw a whale blow in the harbor. Perfect way to see Santa Barbara and try something new. |

| My husband and I were in Santa Barbara on business but spent a few extra days for a vacation. I wanted to see some of the old buildings in the area and see what there was to do in Santa Barbara. I found the Segway Tour online and it had great reviews. We were able to see all of the historic spots on my list, plus we had fun learning to ride a Segway! We actually did two tours with Segway of SB and both were really great! |

| I chose this activity as a way that my young adult son and I could 'bond' for a time. It's tough to find something we both would enjoy. It was perfect. Neither of us had done this before and it gave us something to look forward to and something to talk about afterwards. We live in a beach city an hour or so away so we chose the historical tour. It was great in that we really traveled through the city itself past the stores, the courthouse, residences and the gardens. It gave us a lot of variety to see and different terrain to cross with the segways. We still had a little time to ride by the
beach as well. The tour stops broke up the concentration of riding and turning etc. It was informative. Still, the best part is riding. We liked the garden park best. Just watch out for the water. I almost became the first in history to fall in! Anyhow, it was a wonderful day. I highly recommend this adventure. The cost seems pricey and add to that a well deserved tip for the guides, but in the end, you've had a new experience that keeps you smiling. It's well worth it. |

| This is something I would definitely do with future out-of-town guests. It was kept interesting between points by the segway riding - fun in and of itself - and our guide shared different information than the usual so that even a local would probably learn something about Santa Barbara. We had a blast! |

| We greatly enjoyed our Segway tour. The machines were in excellent working condition, and very easy to use. Our guide was a veritable FOUNT of knowledge about Santa Barbara and not only could point out the major touristy places, but took us to some smaller attractions we would have otherwise missed.
And then to top it off, the company owner provided us with some fantastic local options for dinner and wine.
I can't recommend this enough. When we come back to Santa Barbara, we will definitely be doing this again. |

| My only criticism is the webside promotion. You say there can be no changes of schedule except for weather, and then only a credit for a future tour, and no refunds allowed. I almost decided against the tour because I felt the policies too rigid. IF THE TOUR OPERATOR CANCELLS THE TOUR BECAUSE OF WEATHER OR ANY REASON, A FULL REFUND IS IN ORDER. It is unreasonable to think that I would return at a later date. I live 350 miles from Santa Barbara. |

| I had always wanted to experience riding a Segway, but this tour was beyond our expectations. It only takes a few minutes to learn to ride a Segway -- even for my not-so-coordinated wife. Santa Barbara is a very Segway-friendly town, so the tour took us not only down streets and sidewalks, but also through historic buildings and garden trails. You could see how jealous the other tourists were! The guide has great knowledge of this beautiful city of hills and history. |

| The Segways are totally cool... takes a little while to get the hang of it but the instructor was very patient and attentive. The tour was great but driving the Segway was the high point. Definitely take a tour the first time so you can understand how the Segways work. Also, if you have a mishap the tour guide is there to help you. This is an opportunity for teens to drive a vehicle even if they are not licensed. Though I laid it down once (it only hurt a little) I loved it and would do it again in any city... Wish I had one for tooling around the neighborhood, but then I'd never get any exercise. My daughter had a great time too, and the instructor was nice enough to take a quick video (our camera) so we'd have something to look back on. I recommend this activity! |
