Who We Are
"Chief Gliding Officers" is how we refer to ourselves. We took our first Segway tour in Savannah, GA,
several years ago. We immediately fell in love with the Segway experience and started taking more tours over the next couple of years. But it wasn't until
we took a tour in Raleigh, NC, in February 2009 that we decided this was an experience
we felt would work well in downtown Lancaster.
Research took a lot of our time, but we became more excited about it as the weeks
and months went by. With experience in the local tourism industry and strong interest in the city of Lancaster, combined with knowledge and interest in technology, we decided that starting a Segway tour business was a natural fit. We love
gliding around on our Segways and we're excited to share this experience with friends, family, local residents and visitors to Lancaster! |

 Who Can Ride a Segway
Anyone sixteen and older who can stand and walk unassisted for an hour and a half or more, and can climb at least one step! We've had on our tours young adults, middle age people, boomers, seniors, people
with pins in their ankles, people with knee and hip replacements, and even amputeees
with prosthetic legs!
"How do you balance that thing?" many people ask. Actually, it balances itself! It uses gyroscopic sensors and electric motors to sense and compensate for your
weight shift. Or, if you find that explanation a bit dry, just call it "techno-magic."
Either way, it's fun! :-) |

 Who Can Benefit From the Use of Segways
All of us, actually. Segways are battery-powered and burn no fuel. With a full eight-hour charge costing about 25 cents worth of electricity,
a Segway model i2 can go 15 to 24 miles. Compared to the current price of a gallon of gas (around $2.50), assuming 15
to 24 miles per gallon, the Segway's "fuel cost" is about one tenth that of a normal car or truck!
"Get off the Segway and get some exercise by walking or riding a bike!" some
have told us. It's true that riding (or "gliding" on) a Segway doesn't provide
much aerobic exercise. But it's not an exercise alternative. It's a fun and environmentally friendly way to commute, travel, or explore. |

 Who Likes Us
"We had a WONDERFUL time – everyone is talking about the next Segway adventure.
Thanks for your good instruction, your humor and flexibility in making Saturday
a great day for all of us. I am spreading the news about how much fun Segway gliding
is." - Joanne from Bath, PA
"We had such a great time. Tom is still talking about how he wants to buy one,
haha. Thanks again for a great time, and I'm sure we'll be back sometime." - Sadie
from York, PA
"We thoroughly enjoyed our time! We are Segway fans and have been talking up
the tour among our friends. Even though I was born and raised in Lancaster, I
walked away with new knowledge about my home town and hope to catch one of your
other tours sometime." - Tim from Landisville, PA
"Thanks SO MUCH for the Segway tour this morning! Your thorough instructions
made it a breeze for this klutzy lady to catch on and feel super comfortable on
the Segway! What a great time we had! We also learned that Lancaster has a really
interesting history! Again, thanks a lot! You both did a great job!" - Rita from
Marlinton, WV
"We had such fun! You both did a great job. We've highly recommended your tour
to our friends. Thanks again for giving us a wonderful day – can't wait to do
it again." - Melody from Windsor, NY
"We had a fabulous time on our Lancaster City Segway Tour and have been telling
everyone about it. Although we lived in Lancaster for many years before moving
to South Central PA, we learned some history and saw a few things we didn't know
about. Thanks for helping us get the hang of riding a Segway so quickly. We will
highly recommend Red Rose Segway tours to our friends and family!" - Jean from
Mont Alto, PA
"I wanted to thank you and let you know how much we enjoyed the city tour today!
It was even better than we expected and we couldn't stop talking about it when
we were driving home!" - Celia from Hellertown, PA
"We LOVED your awesome, one-of-a-kind tour of Lancaster City. Despite the fact
that I've lived in Lancaster County almost half a century and consider myself
quite an expert on its history, culture and personality, our tour guide taught
me at least 20 things I didn't know! And the Segways are incredibly easy to navigate
and so fun (I want one!). The Red Rose Segway Tour is by far the best bargain,
with the most thorough coverage and incredible fun of any tourist attraction in
the heart of Lancaster County!" - Nancy from Lancaster, PA
"Thanks so much. We had a blast!" - Leslie from Collegeville, PA
"We enjoyed the tour very much. I will send pictures to my 27 year old son to
show him you can teach an old dog new tricks! HA! Thanks again for a great experience!"
- Maryann from Pine Grove, PA "I would like to thank you and Bob for the wonderful time Jeff and I had on the
tour. You guys do a great job, and your narrative on the historical facts of the
city was fantastic. I hope to someday soon enjoy your gracious hospitality again."
- Mitch from Lexington, OH
"I’ve done all the “regular” tours by car, bus, walking, you name it, but I never
had so much fun touring until I found Red Rose’s Segway Tours. By the way, anyone
can operate a Segway—even totally uncoordinated people like ME! Operating the
Segways was exhilarating and to make it the perfect experience, our guide, Terri,
was delightful and shared stories that were both informative and interesting.
Three Red Rose Segway Tours later, I can’t wait to schedule another one!" - Kathy
from Lititz, PA
"My group had a BLAST and your information about Downtown Lancaster was very
informative. We are still talking about how we were so wobbly on the Segways,
but then, after your great demonstrations we became pro's." - Karen from Forty
Fort, PA
