| Our tour guide, Sarah, was awesome. It is a great way to see Richmond. Our group of VCU students toured the city, we look forward to doing some of the others tours in the future. |

| Had a fun and spontaneous guide. The Segway is a cool tool! Very easy to negotiate and a really interesting way to get around the city. This is an idea way to introduce your out-of-town guests to the city or for you and your friends or family to try something a little different. |

| Pleasantly spent two hours, looking around Richmond city area. Riding Segway is great experience. It 's really catchy. Guide was very flexible with our wishes, with solid knowledge about Richmond's history. Thanks for good time. |

| The segways are more fun than I thought! While the history was fine and decent the best part of the trip was being on the segway through different parts of town! |

| We are looking forward to taking the other Segway tours in and around Richmond. It's a great way to cover a lot of ground touring that you wouldn't ordinarily do while walking. |

| THE TOUR GUIDE, TONY, WAS KNOWLEDGIBLE IN THE HISTORY OF RICHMOND AND THE EDUCATING OF THE PARTICIPANTS ON USE OF A SEGWAY. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES WE WERE COMFORTABLE WITH ITS USE AND ON OUR WAY THROUGH RICHMOND. |

| My relatives were visiting from Iowa and I wanted to show them the city but also provide them with a unique experience. This tour provided all that. My guests were thrilled with the experience and now have a great story to share with their friends in the midwest. |

| Our experience was wonderful. We were given plenty of time to aquaint ourselves with the operation of the Segway, and then were taken on a fun, easy tour of downtown Richmond. Our tourguide, the owner of the company, was very knowledgable about the sites and the equipment. I had many technical questions, and he seemed to enjoy answering them. He also seemed to enjoy giving us the tour and enthusiastic about our historic city.
The equipment seemed to be in good shape and we had no technical difficulties. Two of the Segways seemed a little low on battery power toward the end of the tour, and he had someone bring fresh ones to us to continue, which goes to show his dedication to customer satisfaction.
I have two complaints. The first is parking. The shop is located in an area that is notorious for parking issues, and I hated to have to pay to park but it was the easist solution. While we live just oustide of Richmond, we rarely venture downtown and were not sure what our options were. However, I consider this my own problem and don't hold it against Segway of Richmond.
The second complaint was also out of SoR's control; our group included several boys around 12-14 years old who were unruly, inconsiderate, and loud. We had a hard time hearing our guide and stayed well back to avoid getting hit by these boys while they rode around recklessly. They were admonished several times by the employees who accompanied us to no avail, and their parents did nothing to restrain them. Unfortunately, they took away from the overall enjoyment of the experience. I'm not sure there is a solution for this - I realize that no one wants to turn away business, and it's not SoR's responsiblity to control bad behavior.
I will and have recommended Segway of Richmond to my friends and family as a fun, affordable family trip. I am looking forward to our next tour! We will definately be back. |

| We really enjoyed the Segway experience. The instruction on how to operate them took only a few minutes. It was sooooo much fun! The guides were very effective... I actually learned something about my own home town that I didn't know. We plan to take a different local Segway tour and invite our friends to join us. It is well worth the time! |
