Off-Season is Half Price!

For the months of December-February, we will still conduct tours with a reservation and when weather permits. And now we’re offering a HALF PRICE for parties of four or more.
That’s right — for these off-season months only, you can take a 2.5 hour Segway tour of the Gettysburg battlefield for just $32.50 per person [...]


The Season is Drawing to a Close

Last weekend marked the Dedication Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies in Gettysburg, the last big events of the season. And what a beautiful weekend it was!
Dedication Day ceremonies (the 146th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address) on Thursday featured speeches by Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss and other dignitaries.
Remembrance Day (Saturday) [...]


We are the only company with a permit to conduct Segway tours on the Gettysburg battlefield

Mark Twain famously said, “The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”
In the last few days, several customers have reportedly been told that the National Park Service has recently banned Segways from the Gettysburg battlefield. NOT TRUE!
The truth is that Segtours, LLC and another company have had permits to provide Segway tours of [...]


Fox 43 Television

Yesterday morning, Melanie Gardner of Fox 43 Television (WPMT) from York, PA visited us.  She interviewed Sherry and Rob Wingert, a Licensed Battlefield Guide on camera and scooted around the Cyclorama parking lot on a Segway.  It was a very quick visit but we appreciate any press efforts to spread the word!
This brief text from [...]


Obstacle course weekend

Segway movie stars

OK, maybe we’re not the stars of the show (in fact, if you blink you might miss us ) but we’re happy to have participated in an online video that was produced by the Pennsylvania Tourism Office.
“Peter Arthur Stories” (www.pastories.com) is actually a set of four short video “chapters” that tells the story of [...]


If she can do it, then you can too!

We regularly get asked how often it happens that someone is simply unable to learn how to ride a Segway. The answer is almost never. Honestly, it is much easier than it looks!
Until you’ve experienced it, it is hard to imagine that the Segway is really self-balancing. After all, there are only [...]


Rain?

We’re not afraid of rain! The Segway rides just fine in the rain and we won’t melt — so we’ll go if you’ll go. In fact, the flowers are starting to bloom and we mostly have the park to ourselves during rainy weather so it is a good time for a tour!
(Yes, we [...]


Summer is coming!

The weather is getting warming and you can feel summer in the air! The first weekend of the March was Reenactor Appreciation Weekend and it was great to see so many people (many in period uniforms and dress) come out to enjoy the sun.
Segway tours were active too. In fact, we’re so busy [...]
