Segway Tours and Rides of Gettysburg (SegTours, LLC) is happy to announce an Open House on Sunday, 27 March 2011, to celebrate the opening of its new location in the Gettysburg Shopping Center. Attendees will receive free training and the opportunity for a free 10-minute indoor ride on a Segway Personal Transporter™.
SegTours, LLC provides tours of the Gettysburg National Military Park with Licensed Battlefield Guides. The company is starting its fourth season in Gettysburg, having moved over the winter from its previous location on Taneytown Road. After initial training in its new indoor facility, graduates can then experience the challenges of the new Segway obstacle course, including traffic cones, bumps, ramps, and other challenges under the supervision of SegTours staff.
“Our focus is principally on the history of the battlefield,” said owner Bob Velke, “but the new training area prepares riders for the terrain of the area and gives them the skills to safely operate the Segway Personal Transporter around curbs, ditches, parked cars, pot holes, and other potential hazards.” He added, “At the conclusion of training, the rider can comfortably operate the Segway PT and focus more attention on the history as it is presented by our excellent battlefield guides.”
“The Segway PT is an innovative and fun way to experience the battlefield,” said Gary Kross, a Licensed Battlefield Guide with 25 years of experience in the park. “It gives the visitor a more intimate perspective on the action and it gives me the flexibility to share stories from parts of the park that are otherwise infrequently visited,” he said.
Sunday’s Open House will be from 10am to 5pm at the company’s new location at 22 Springs Avenue, Gettysburg PA 17325 (near the Dollar General Store).
The Company: SegTours, LLC began offering tours of the Gettysburg National Military Park in 2008 and has grown to be the #1 rated activity in Gettysburg, according to the popular travel site, www.TripAdvisor.com. The company offers substantial discounts for tours and rides to Gettysburg residents, employees of the Gettysburg National Military Park, military and law enforcement personnel, and to first responders. Further details about the company’s offering are available from www.SegTours.com.
