A foursome of age 60-somethings took the 5:00 tour on Friday, May 31. Speaking for myself, it was a blast. Our tour guide, Wes, gave us about a 40-minute hands on lesson and then we hit the streets and saw the sights. Wes was personable, polite and informative. He is a great representative for Asheville; you knew he truly loved... More

My wife and I just finished our Segway tour of Asheville. Wes was not only a great tour guide, but he also is a great person to teach you how to use a Segway. My wife has always been a little afraid of getting on a Segway. Wes was very patient and made sure her and the other two newbees... More

Our recent trip to Asheville was my first time to the city. We took the tour on our third day in town. While I was really excited to get on a Segway for the first time, I naively assumed that we had already seen all there was of downtown. Boy was I wrong! After a few quick minute of instruction...

We have to thank Wes for the awesome tour that we took this week! If you have been to Asheville 100 times or have never been, this tour is really worth your time. The segways are so neat to ride, I must say that my 16 year old daughter and I really felt like celebrities! Even for someone that is... More

Wes was a most excellent tour guide! My 14yr old son and I loved this tour, just enough Asheville history to not bore my son, and lots of Segway riding. Loved that Wes was so laid back and that we could stop for hot chocolate and to warm up! Would definately do this tour with Wes again!!!!

Wes is fantastick! He is very knowledgable about the city and makes the Segway fun. This is the best activity to do when you first get to the city as it will allow you to become familiar with the layout of the town. Well worth the money!

An approximately two-hour tour with a great guide (Wes) through a pretty town at a reasonable price. Rather than repeat all of the praise of the other reviews, I'll just note a few additional items that may be of interest: 1) Riding a Segway after just a few minutes of instruction really is as easy as it looks, even for...

For whatever reason you travel to and stay in Asheville for, I highly recommend the downtown Segway tour. Wes the guide was friendly, knowledgeable and will take you through parts of the city you would otherwise miss. Granted you look like a complete dork or so our 15 yr old says, it's a lot of fun. It's a lot easier... More

So much fun! Despite the appearance, VERY EASY to learn and, Wes, the guide (and I think the owner/operator) is excellent. He is very easy-going, personable, funny and patient. A good instructor and guide. Very safety conscious. You really get your money's worth and it's just so much fun!

Well worth the price of admission. The tour guide was very good and he had a great sense of humor. And the price was fair too. I will be back when we come back to lovely Asheville.
