Segway is such a fun and exciting machine to ride on. Jerry, our tour guide was very humor and knowledgable of santa barbara history. I would definite recommend going on the segway tour. Only thing I would point out to Jerry is that, during the tour, we didn't really go through Historic Stearn's Wharf. |

Our group consisted of adults and teens. All of us were very interested to try out a Segway, and many of us were new to Santa Barbara. The tour was a fun combination of finding out about Segways and Santa Barbara. We learned to ride in a few minutes, and improved our technique as we traveled along. The people we passed on the street were friendly and cooperative. The guide was knowledgeable with a few facts about everything he took us to see, but without overwhelming us with stuff we would instantly forget. Lots of places unknown to me (a Santa Barbara resident) were visited as well as the standard tourist spots.
Everybody was very glad to have had the experience. |

We enjoyed learning how to manuever on a segway and touring the sites of Santa Barbara. Cruising down State Street and zipping through a building were highlights. The tour guides were excellent with the segway training and knowledge of the area. We highly recommend this tour! |

Trish was our leader and she did a wonderful job introducing us to how a Segway works. There were a total of six in our group (four from our family and two others) and she led us around S.B. We felt safe at all times.
We were using the older model of the Segway (turning on the left handle) instead of the LeanStick. The two non-drivers (my 18 year old son and 16 year old daughter) felt that turning via the left-handle was very intuitive. The two drivers (my husband and I) had a little more trouble getting used to it.
What was interesting was that all of us were exhausted after the tour. We were using muscles we don't usually use (not that the Segway tour was physically exhausing by any stretch) but we all ended up taking naps that afternoon.
We are very intrigued with the Segway concept and are in the process of figuring out how to rationalize a purchase. In the meantime, I have promised my son's best friend that I will take him on a tour - I owe him a High School graduation present and the beach tour will be perfect.
I highly recommend a Santa Barbara Segway tour as a gift idea. We did it for our son's 18th birthday and he is the envy of all his friends. |
