My wife and I went on my birthday (1/27) and had a wonderful time! We had been on previous Segway tours in other cities but this was one of the best. Segways allow you to go places that aren't accessible by car but don't tire you out like walking a lot.
Having a birthday in January can be both good and bad depending on the weather, and even though it was cold we had a bright, sunny day for the experience. It also meant that there were only three people on the tour which made it more personal.
Signed up on the phone via Tommy who was very helpful and more than willing to work with me on things such as not being able to make the trip, etc.
Eric was our tour guide and did an excellent job of preparing us for the ride. Even though my wife and I had been on other tours, we learned things about the Segway that we had not been told before. I already knew that the machine has a way to tell you you're going too fast and backs you off (yes, I tried that once...) but didn't know it would vibrate in other dangerous circumstances (didn't push it that far on past trips...).
Eric is also very knowledgeable about Nashville's more interesting sights and had considerable inside information about certain places.
There are breaks along the way to rest your feet (which are certainly needed for people of advanced age....) so you don't have to worry about spending the entire time on the machine if you aren't able. Besides, since you aren't allowed to take pics or vids while riding, it's your opportunity to do so.
We used walkie talkies mounted to the machines to hear the commentary which was pretty good except in the more noisy spots. Would recommend, if possible, that maybe they use ear pieces for better hearing.
The only things that would have made this tour better would be warmer weather (can't help that) and better hearing of the commentary but I fully recommend taking this tour is you have the means. You will enjoy it immensely!
BTW, if you are afraid of the difficulty of riding one of these, don't be. You will be surprised at how easy and intuitive it is in just a short time!
