Segway Tour Testimonials
The excitement of using a Segway, PERIOD, was intense, but doing so in the city of Paris was pure heaven. Other pedestrians were just as excited to see us, except the French local who wanted to know how tourists found the ice cream parlor she thought was a well kept secret. Jan and Bob
Thanks again for a wonderful morning touring Paris on Segways! I can assure you that Cale and Kaitlyn have not stopped talking about the experience. If you could be so kind as to forward the pictures you took to us at this eMail address, I would be most great full. Do you have any "review" sites that you use that we could post a recommendation to help you with your business? Best Regards, Craig
I had the best time one could have in Paris thanks to your bike tour.
I wanted to let you know that our night tour was the highlight of our stay in Paris
I had a complete blast on your tours, especially the night tour.
Not only did I get oriented to the city quickly, but I met some great people and and had a great time.
The 4 hours of the Segway tour were by far the most memorable of my entire trip.
"We just returned home and both of us agree that one of the real highlights of our trip was the Segway tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and we had such a great time. Tell anyone who inquires about the trip that if a 60-year-old uncoordinated woman can learn to ride one of those things, anybody can. Thanks again for a super time!" - Luther and Janet Riley

Q.What is a Segway?
A.The Segway Human Transporter is the first of its kind-a self-balancing, personal transportation device designed to go anywhere people do. Easy to use and operate, the two-wheeled Segway sports high-tech gyroscopes that automatically respond to your body's movements, "sensing" when it should speed up and slow down. You stand on a small platform between left and right wheels as you hold onto handlebars at a comfortable waist height. The Segway handles the balancing for you, so that you're always upright as you glide through any environment.
Q. Are Segways safe for children?
A. Although riding a Segway is relatively easy to do and learn, we do require that all riders be at least 12 years of age. All participants aged 12 to 18 must have an adult age 25 or older sign their waivers and participate in the tour with them. Children under 12 cannot ride a Segway.
