Some more feedback from our customers....
I’ll tell you this – if I had backed out of the
Segway part of the visit I would have missed a great experience! How
many different ways can you say cool? The Segway is a fabulous machine.
After about 12 – 15 minutes of simple training from Sherry at the
SegTours of Gettysburg headquarters we were ready to go. Ed Guy arrived
to be our licensed battlefield guide and he and Sherry led us east
along the streets of town toward Culp’s Hill.

Thanks for the great tour on the Segways this
past Tues. We had a terrific time! Although I was a little hesitant, I
had fun and it was quite a learning experience! We appreciated the
little extras that you provided for the group. The only problem--Earl
got way too many "rear-view" pics of me during the tour! Thanks again
and have a good fall season!
- Sue and Earl from Pennsylvania
We took your battlefield tour without having
been to the Visitor Center first; we were glad we had. The movie,
cyclorama and museum were all more meaningful given our fresh
experience of the related topography. We particularly appreciated your
choice of Dave Eisenhart as our guide. He's a certainly gifted
educator. We were delighted when he was able to rejoin us for a tour of
the eastern battlefield the following day.
I can't think of a better way to travel up,
down, and around the battlefield than on a Segway. They're pure fun; I
didn't want to give mine back! It has all the advantages of being on
horseback, with none of the liabilities. I have arthritis in both feet
(after fracturing my heels), but experienced no aches or pains during
or after the tour. You've done a great job organizing everything, right
down to the bottled water and cookies.

We have done a bus tour, a car tour, and a
horse tour of Gettsyburg over the years--but nothing was as fun as our
guided segway tour. Cruising the battlefields with a sweet breeze on
your face on the whisper-quiet segways made for a great memory for our
family.

We both just wanted to say "thank you"
again for the wonderful tour of Gettysburg and the battlefield and the
marvelous experience with a Segway! You are terrific teachers -- very
encouraging and affirming! We were the focus of the conversation at the
birthday party later that afternoon since everyone wanted to know more
about what we had done and seen! So, again from two Segway novices (one
of whom has a sunburned face!), Thank you soooo much!

I was impressed with everything about the
tour. I'm a history teacher, and I felt that the audio tour was
detailed and presented good information throughout. Amy and I were both
struck by the fact that we covered a ton of ground, but never felt
rushed. It really was the ideal way to see the battlefield. Honestly, I
could have spent another 2-3 hours roaming the field that way.
Everything was top notch and exceeded our expectations. Next time we're
in Gettysburg we'd love to do the Eastern half of the battlefield as
well. Thanks again!
- Pete from Connecticut
Our Segway Gettysburg tour was great fun!
What a wonderful day it was. The audio tour was very professional and
we sure learned a lot. It was an easy day trip from D.C. and we're
going to suggest SegTours.com to all our friends!

You guys rock! I can't even put in words
what a great time we had on the Segway tour. We spent four days in
Gettysburg and your tour is the only thing we talked about all the way
home! It was a hoot and we can't wait to come back in the fall and do
the Eastern battlefield!

We had a great time touring the Gettysburg
battlefield on Segways; I think it is the ideal way to experience this
kind of scene. No sore feet and a lot of territory covered in a
reasonable length of time. The guide, Gary, was clearly the high point
of the whole day. He is a walking (or riding) encyclopaedia of Civil
War information. We felt like we were really at the scene of action
during his narrative.
- Charlotte and Mike from Arizona
Just wanted to thank you so much for a
fantastic tour experience - we loved it!
- John from Pennsylvania
It has been three months since our segway tour of
Gettysburg, and we still can't stop talking about it! The scenery, the
information, the history! We learned, we laughed and we were informed
and entertained. Absolutely do not miss the opportunity to take this
voyage. I endorse it!

As far as Ruth & I are concerned, your
tour is the best way to see the battlefield. There is no comparison to
being out in the open and being able to look around as you are moving,
to being in a car or bus looking out a window if you are a passenger.
The driver of course must watch where he or she is going. As you said,
it makes you almost feel like you are one of the troops involved in the
battle. Thank you again for the wonderful time.

As you know my father is 71 years old and
a history buff. It has been three weeks and he's still thanking me for
the best birthday present that he has had in years!

I just wanted to say thank you from all of
us here at the office for a great time on the Segways last Friday. The
staff is still talking about what a wonderful time they had. We cannot
believe how much ground we covered over the battlefields in three
hours. Thanks again.
- Joetta from Pennsylvania
We sure had a lot of fun touring
Gettysburg on a Segway. Gettysburg tours come in lots of shapes and
sizes but we've learned that a Segway is THE ONLY way to go! In three
hours, we saw a huge amount of the battlefield (including parts that
I'd never seen in many previous visits) and had great fun doing it. The
audio tour was very well done and the company escort took very good
care of us.

I'm a student of the Gettysburg
battlefield and have been there at least a dozen times. I stumbled
across your Segway tours on the internet and was gobsmacked. What a
great idea!! The Segway is the perfect way to get around and gives you
a view of the battlefield that can't be compared to a car or bus. The
only time I've had a better tour of the battlefield was when I was
young enough to walk it...and that took four days!
- George

We had such a wonderful tour of the
Eastern battlefield. At the age of 67 both of us were a bit
apprehensive about riding the Segway. We needn't have worried, once we
had the lesson it was just plain fun. Ed was an excellent guide and you
paired us with him knowing our particular interest in the Culp's Hill,
Spangler's Spring area. The ice cold water and cherries you provided
were so welcome, and your rear guard position made us feel very safe.
Thank you both!
- Bob and Donna from Oregon
Myself and everyone in my group had a
fantasic time that afternoon. I am certain that we will do that with
other family members. Thanks again for a great afternoon.
- Bryan from Pennsylvania
This was my third Segway tour (the first
two were in Washington D.C. and Baltimore) and yours was SO much better
than the others that there's no comparison. Having a real historian
(not a college kid) as a guide makes a huge difference. We learned so
much and had a lot of fun doing it! You folks really know how to put on
a professional tour.
- Norman
from Washington D.C.
Larry and I had a great time on your tour
– informative and fun. We hope to get back to Gettysburg soon to take
the tour of the Eastern battlefield.
- Joy from Virginia
I confess that I paused when I saw the
price of the Segway tour but my wife reminded me that it was for two
and a half hours -- a real bargain compared to other activities in
town. Now that I have taken the tour, I don't know what I was thinking!
I'd do it again in a heartbeat! In fact, maybe I will. The guide was
such a wealth of knowledge, I could listen to him all day long.
- Jim from
Pennsylvania
All sorts of wonderful stuff came out of
your magical saddle bags. The cold bottled water and fruit were not
just nice touches -- they were signs that you were really focused on
our comfort. And when it started to sprinkle near the end of our tour,
you were Johnny-on-the-spot with rain ponchos. A lesser company would
have nickle-and-dimed us for those extras. Kudos to a really superb
operation! We will certainly tell our friends.
- Jess and
Mary from Maryland
As hard as we tried, we couldn't stump our
guide [Gary Kross]. He really knows his stuff!
- Henry and
Lynn from Missouri
Our family has visited Gettysburg on
numerous occasions and took part in many different battlefield tours.
The tour of the battlefield on the Segways was by far and away the best
tour we have ever done. It was enjoyable, fun and very informative with
your own guide. The cost was well worth the benefit. It is something
that we look forward to doing again on our next trip.
