What a great way to tour the lovely and picturesque town of Mt Dora. Well organized and fun trip. Friendly and welcoming staff. We will be back with more of our Florida visitors.

This is our second time taking the segway tour at Mt. Dora. The guide is always so entertaining and very knowledgeable of the area. The staff always go above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable.

Had our 1st segway experience. Had a great time...lots of fun. Jimmy the host, trainer and guide did a fantastic job. I recommend it highly. Cant wait to go do this again...and on a longer excursion.

Jimmy was our excellent Segway tour guide in Mt Dora. He kept us safe as we heard the history of the area. The Segway tour is a wonderful way to see old Florida and get off the beaten path. We will do it again.
