| What an exciting way to see Santa Barbara. Guide was very knowledgeable about area and segway travel covered much ground in relative ease. Highly recommend this activity for those who are able. |

| We got to Segway SB 15 minutes before the start time to take some pointers from "Bill" on how to ride. My son and I picked up on the tecnique of riding a Segway pretty fast (I'm 62 years old). Soon we were scooting around the premises before the beginning of our well-led tour (about 2 hours). Bill led the tour as well. We both had a great time seeing Santa Barbara from another perspective. We have already recommended the tour to family and friends. We'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!

| 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! |

Fun, but...

| None of us had been on a segway before and all of us found it easy to learn and very enjoyable. Unfortunately, our guide was relatively new and knew less than I did about Santa Barbara (and I'm from Florida). She was very nice and very attentive, but she needs to do some studying. She would benefit by taking an Old Town Trolley tour, herself. I doubt that she had ever been through the Presidio, which is central to the history and development of the area. She really needs to study a little and learn the material.
Since you ride in single file, only the person directly behind the guide could hear anything. The organization would benefit by having headsets for the group (like the ones used at the Getty Villa) so the guide could narrate while traveling - if she knew anything.
Overall, it was a lot of fun and to be recommended. I'm sure they have other guides who are more proficient. |

| 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 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. |

| We're a group of active seniors. It was scary at first - sure we'd tip over, but Jerry was patient and understanding at teaching us and by 10 minutes into the tour we felt like pros.
We enjoyed seeing the sights and hearing the history but the most fun was just riding and finding out what the "scooters" could do. |
