Best fun sightseeing
It was the best fun. Great tour of town and gardens. Guide was a fabulous teacher and knew when we were ready for the next challenge, but let us decide. Definitely trying to fit a longer one in before we head home.
If you are here when it’s cold suggest gloves. Thoroughly enjoyable time.
Operator response
Thanks very much for your review Claire and for booking again for tomorrow for the 2 hour tour which will be twice the fun :) See you then for more good times.

Great fun. Our host Kevin was very friendly and highly experienced. Taught us how to manoeuvre the segways and after a little test, off we went through the Gardens, along the boardwalk past heaps of restaurants and sights along the lake, and then back again. Loved it!

I'm very happy to hear that you loved it. Thanks for taking the time to write a review.

Kevin did a fantastic job explaining how to work the Segway. He was extremely knowledgeable of Queenstown and shared interesting stories. This was one the best experiences my husband and I had during our trip to New Zealand.

A must do when you are in Queenstown
We had a party of 3 for our 2 hours tour with Kevin. Due to recent rain and floods our meeting point was changed. Kevin was advising us most promptly and we met with him in another location without problems.
We all loved and enjoyed our tour with Kevin. There is a mixture of excitement and a bit of history and fun facts told to us. The segways are easy to operate and control. There is no stress at all to be on them and cruising around Queenstown, along the Lakefront and the Gardens. I highly recommend anyone of all ages to try this tour with Kevin. Best thing we have done on our trip!
Operator response
Excellent to read that this was the best thing you did on your trip. Thanks so much for you great review!

Kevin is a great knowledgeable host for the segways and local area
Kevin is excellent at the way he does the basic training and knowledge of the local area.
Having done a similar segway tour in Europe, Kevin completed a short practical training to ensure balance and control. We then left on the first leg where the segways were set at a slower speed to enable us to enjoy the experience and the sights. Regular stops to cover local history and details. The speed of the seways was increased to a faster speed for more fun and hill trails before the full speed was made available for a fast run along some paths.
We had a super time that was only possible with a great host who made you feel safe using the segway while having a great time.
This is a fun experience that everyone should try at least once.
The setting in Queenstown NZ adds to the experience with the lake and mountain views making the perfect scene.
Operator response
Thank you for your review David! It's wonderful to read that you had a super time. See you again one day.
