No matter what age or weight, Jeff makes you feel comfortable and teaches you how to ride a segway in no time. The tour was beautiful and Jeff was very knowledgable about Lake Kissimmee State Park. The scenery was gorgeous. The price was resonable.

After a short tutorial with Jeff on how to use the Segway, the adventure begins. Jeff was patient and a great tour guide. He personalized the afternoon based on our interests and skill level. He was knowledgeable about the wildlife and fauna. For a few hours and several miles, we laughed, learned, and had a blast. We were a family... More

You start with a comprehensive safety lesson on how to operate the Segway. Jeff will make the most tentative of riders feel comfortable and confident. Then you take a wonderful 7 mile journey to and around Lake Kissimmee and the State Park. We had a dense fog, but still saw plenty of deer and our guide Jeff told us a... More

In just a short twenty minutes of Jeff's expert instruction on the Segway, we were off through the beautiful habitats that make Lake Kissimmee State Park a trip back to unspoiled Florida. We saw amazing glimpses of nature up close and without intruding. Deer were feeding ten feet from us! Just an extraordinary experience!

We had six people, ages 22 to 60, and all had a great time. Jeff was so patient and took the time to make sure that everybody was comfortable before starting that we all felt like pros. All of us want to do it again.

On a recent trip to the Orlando area my wife and I were looking for an adult alternative to the standard Disney fare so we decided to give this attraction a try. My wife was initially hesitant about going on the tour but I managed to convince her that... More

Thanks again for the Segway tour at Kissimmee State Park. Jeff & Melody did a good job of making us comfortable; before, during, and after the tour. Jeff did a great job of introducing us to the Segway x2 in the parking lot. Then, after a little practice, we headed out on a 7+ mile ride on trails and paths... More
