Fun filled family experience, and an awesome guide! We chose this tour as a birthday adventure/present to our sister. We grew up in the area and weren’t thinking too much about what we might learn from the guide as far as history. We were focused on the idea of trying out Segways in a beautiful setting. This tour exceeded our expectations thanks to our guide Steve, and we learned wayyyyyy more about the surrounding area and history than we had since moving to the Springs back in the eighties! Steve was helpful and friendly as soon as we booked the tour, and willing to answer any questions. His guided instruction on the equipment made us all feel comfortable and prepared regardless of age (ranging from 47 young up to 70 fabulous). We couldn’t have asked for a better day or experience. Thanks, Steve, for making this an unforgettable adventure!

My 64 year old cousin and I went on the Segway tour yesterday. It was a birthday present as she has mentioned seeing tourists ride around town and expressed interest. We had a lovely time. I like nature, history, architecture and trying something new, and so it made for a wonderful afternoon. We received a timeline of the Broadmoor resort and neighborhood, a brief biography of the key developers, and historic facts of the main tourist attractions up Cheyenne Canon such as the waterfalls. As far as riding the Segways, “Happy” (everyone needs a trail name and what better name for him?:), took the necessary amount of time needed to individually train each one of us until we all felt comfortable driving. He was incredibly attentive to us while we rode. For instance, there were a few times my Segway started speeding forward or backward, and in a panic I forgot how to handle it, but he was right there guiding me through it. He was direct but remained pleasant, respectful, and polite at all times. From the helmet to headphone to the Segway itself he was right there adjusting and directing to ensure the perfect fit. He also went above and beyond by giving us water to drink and brand new ear buds. We had so much fun and learned so many details about the canyon, it is hard to highlight a favorite, but I did enjoy our time behind the El Pomar Foundation. The view of the canyon is breathtaking back there and he let us try test our skills by discovering top speeds and winding around sharp curves. I think that was my favorite part also because my cousin was acting like a young child again and her youthful glow and smile was contagious. I’m not a dare devil but I challenged myself to join her and I had a great time. Well worth it to go if you have an itch to try something new. Age doesn’t matter! My cousin said, “Great confidence boost for me~must have needed it! This was a good adventure for me in so many ways ❣️I had a blast.”

It was so much fun having you guys out! You were both very safety conscious and aware. I'm glad you think I was pleasant, respectful and polite, despite my directness! Things can happen quickly on a Segway and I also get excited in the moment. When I see someone is having an issue, it's usually just a momentary lapse of concentration or awareness, but you have to react quickly. Thanks for becoming such good riders! I'm so happy you enjoyed the adventure. It was a true pleasure having you on my tour. Travel safe!

If you have ever heard of the concept of giving 120% then you will experience this with Steve, our Segway guide. Steven is very safety conscious, even though we are experienced Segway riders Steve checked out our skills which also gave us the benefit of warming up. We commenced our two-hour tour with a varied number of environments from the wooded sector where we passed a cinnamon-colored baby black bear and deer to the sophisticated grounds of the Broadmoor Hotel. All the while from the start, Steve who is a cornucopia of history, recounted the significance of the scenes as they unfolded before our eyes. Steve is about as personable person as you are ever going to meet. His level of attention to our needs, safety, comfort and our interest in the history of the sites we passed was of the highest order. He really made it fun ! I encourage you to not think twice, Just book with Steve. Whether you are new to Segway or experienced I cannot think of a better guide than Steve for the memorable experience you are seeking.
