San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) June 25, 2005 -- San Francisco Electric Tour Company has increased its Segway fleet and now offers more tours than ever before. It has even moved to a new location to accommodate more tour times each day.
Response to the Segway tours has been simply phenomenal," explains company founder Brian Huber. Within weeks after we opened last October, the weekend tours were full and waiting list was constantly growing!"
The new training facility at 757 Beach Street (at Hyde) has allowed the San Francisco Electric Tour Company to triple the available tours per day. Six daily tour departure times are now available and yet the prices remain low. One satisfied customer described the tour as an amazing tour package at an outstanding price! A great experience with excellent training and first class tour guides." Your Segway tour is the best entertainment value Ive had in years," said another.
Combining the unique transport qualities of the Segway -- an electric transport mechanism that is guided by the riders natural motions for forward and backward maneuvering -- with the beauty of San Francisco, these tours have become a fast favorite among the citys visitors as well as locals. San Francisco Electric Tour Company pioneered the tour in San Francisco and is the only company offering it in the city.
Segways easily navigate most walk-able areas, including paved surfaces, trails and of course the San Francisco hills. They allow riders to experience San Francisco like no bus tour can," says Huber.
