Our New Tour Is Going To Be Awesome!!
 

Tour guide training and final touches are progressing to make our newest Segway Guided Tour at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota one that will be setting new standards in this blossoming cottage industry. It will be a 'first-class' operation all the way. Our guides are scheduled to go through the exclusive Ritz-Carlton customer service training prior to our December 18th opening. We will be introducing an 'attitude' to Segway Guided Tours that will make each tour very special and memorable.

The tour route is extraordinary in that once the tour leaves the resort it immediately goes over a new one-mile span bridge that provides breathtaking ocean and bay views. It then enters one of the most upscale shopping areas on the east coast, then glides over a mile along-side a beautiful white sand beach, ending at the Ritz-Carlton Beach Club. We take a break, take guest photos, and continue through a residential neighborhood adorned with both historical homes and modern mansions. The tour is almost 6.5 miles long and will be continually narrated with a live 'state-of-the-art' headphone system.

At the end of the tour each guest will receive a nice gift as a rememberance of their Segway Tour Experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota.

I hope that our success will lead to other fine resorts seeing the value of a quality Segway Guided Tour as an important amenity to their property...

We are very excited at the opportunity to once again promote the wonderful technology of the Segway PT and to provide a worthwhile venue for it's use...

I wanna go, I wanna go! This tour sounds lovely, and I know you will be wildly successful.

Tom,

Sounds to me like your really pulling out all the stops and "raising the bar" so to speak.

I wish you the very best of luck.

I'm curious, are you charging a "premium" for this tour, given the location and gift etc?

Nick,

The cost for our three hour experience is $85.00 per person, which includes a snack & drink as well as a gift at the end.

Tom,

That's about £45 here, which I think would represent fantastic value for money, especially if we had the scenery. Oh and the weather!

Wow!
 

I think that your tour is priced very well. It seems like a real bargain for three hours of machine use, a tour guide, audio equipment, snack, drink, and beautiful scenery, too. You've got a fabulous plan!

Carolyn

Jim,

The drink is actually a bottle of chilled Spring Water with The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota custom label.

Tom, I know in the past you have really been against headphones. Can you elaborate a little more on the system? Is it a one ear system? Just curious. I hope to be opening mine in March and would love to steal more good ideas from you. We are planning just a 4 to 1 ratio to start so will not be using a sound system to start. But if we grow, you never know.
