| This tour is a good way to move about town and see everything quickly. This allows you to decide which you would like to come back to on your own time. |

| A truly fun way to explore Richmond. Two for one fun. Learn to ride on a Segway and see the sights. Very enjoyable way to spend a few hours visiting some of Richmond's historic places. You are up close and personal with the sights and you don't have to hop on and off a bus.
This was one of our favorite activities we did with our friends from Vermont when they came to visit.
We are looking forward to additional tours being offered such as Holloywood Cemetery.
Thanks for a really great time. |

Great ride, but don't expect historic insights

| My son and I did the Father's Day promotion and enjoyed the Segway ride so much we decided to do it again on Labor Day 2008. Tour guides on both occasions were supportive and pleasant, but not very knowlegeable about Richmond's rich history. If you want serious discussion of history, this is not for you. But, hey, we were on the tour mainly to ride the Segways!
If you're looking for an affordable way to introduce yourself to this amazing machine, the tour is cheaper than hourly rental...and you've got a seasoned rider along as a helper...plus you get to see some neat sights.
Enjoy! |

| Anyone can ride these things! We've lived in Richmond for several years, but had never seen some of the corners of the city we visited on the tour. It was a fun afternoon. |

| This was a great tour. Riding on the segways is fun in and of itself. Add some interesting attractions and great guides and what you end up with is 2 1/2 hours of absolutely great fun. I've taken a similar tour in Washington DC and the RIchmond one was even more enjoyable because it was longer and included places I had never seen before. |

| My wife and I enjoyed the Segway Tour of Richmond. The Segways are lots of fun to drive, it sure beats walking! |

| This tour was amazing. Would do another one. Guides were great and very helpful in trainning us on the segway. Would recommend this to everyone. If I can ride the segway, then anyone can. |

| We did the Segway tour in Richmond with family from the UK. They hadn't even seen a Segway before. We went down streets I've never been on after 14 years here. It was a blast! |

Company Summer Outing, August 2008

| As administrative assistant, it is my job to coordinate an activity for a company summer outing each year. Previously, we'd gone to a Braves game after a lunch nearby and we wanted to try something different this time. A fellow co-worker suggested a Segway tour of Richmond. After looking into it, we booked the tour without much hesitation, as several people in the office expressed great interest -- AND WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! The seven of us enjoyed the day so much, there has been talk of individuals returning with their friends & family members at a later date. In fact, our CEO who came to join us for the outing from Charlotte, NC sent me an email the following morning saying "it had been a long time since he'd felt like a kid again", which was a huge pat on the back for me.
Overall, the day was so entertaining. The weather was perfect, the machines were easy to operate, the tour was informative, the guide was pleasant and extremely helpful -- A++!
Thank you for providing us with lasting memories...

| I would have to say that our Sunday afternoon on the Segway Tour was an awesome experience!!!! Instructions on how to ride the Segway were adequate and we quickly caught on to maneuvering them over all sidewalk and street terrains(including the cobble stones in Shockoe Bottom). The sites visited and tidbits of history were all informative. Sunday afternoon was perfect with very few cars or pedestrians to deal with..... I would love to take another tour perhaps to Church Hill or down Monument Ave. I highly recommend this event to anyone who already enjoys being outdoors and likes new adventures. What fun!
