The Segway Tour was amazing. The guide was very knowledgeable of the area, customized the tour to our interest, and made it fun. I highly recommend this tour. For the money, you can't beat it. It's of the best things I've done in a while. It sure beats riding around a bus with little interaction. more

My husband and I have never been on a segway before and this seemed like the right place to start, with so many good reviews. We both really LOVED it. After Asheville had so much rain, we were blessed to have a beautiful day for our visit. It was 79 degrees, just perfect. It was just the 2 of us... more

Was not sure about this because my husband is not a plant person but what fun! We watched the safety movie then moved outside to get comfortable with the segway. Easy to learn and fun. Our guide was easy going and knowledgeable. It was great learning about the plants, landscape, and green building. The tour took us along the outter... more

What fun!

If you've always wanted to try out a Segway but have never gotten the chance, this is a wonderful place to do it! This was my first time, and I can't imagine doing it on busy city sidewalks. This was much quieter and less stressful. The tour lasts about 1 1/2 to 2 hours and is a great way to... more

This was my 5th time on a Segway, so I'll leave most of the transportation descriptions to others. Leave it to say that they use the big-wheel, off-road variety, but the original, handle bar-rotation steering, rather than the more intuitive one, where the central stalk bends. It was still fun. The Arboretum is a part of the University system, and... more

Great fun!

Before we traveled to Asheville with our son, I asked him, "Would you like to visit the arboretum?" fully expecting a resounding "NO!" then added, "On a Segway?". Of course, that changed everything and it wound up being a high point of our trip. I had heard that the Segway was very intuitive and easy to use, however the preliminary... more

I think it was fantastic, I cannot say enough about it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The guide, Sterling, was knowledgeable about the area and shared tidbits of trivia. Saw a beaver tree, a wonderful creek, a rare franklin bush, Kentucky coffee tree. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We want to come back and do it again. The 20% discount... more
