FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We have been in the segway Business for over 15 years and have knowledge and experience many renowned as the best in the Business,

(we also supply training to other segway tour companies up and down the country)

Our first site was at Haldon forest and Paul was aways on the lookout for our next site , but it had to be perfect and tick the right boxes based on customer feedback. We looked at various holiday parks & country parks but we found the terrain boring and not very exciting, till Forestry England suggested this site CANN WOODS a unspoiled dynamic forest , just outside Plymouth & easy to get to from the A38.

After testing and trials we launched the site fully operational in 2018 and the rest is history.

FAQ

Worried about the Rain? 🌧  

Don’t worry we are mostly under Trees🌳 

 

Q: Are there any hidden Extras?
A: Absolutely Not, the price you see from the start is what you pay NO Hidden extras for photos and cancellations etc 

Q: Do you charge a booking fee?
A: In a short answer NO, but the booking system will add a Booking fee when you book, however the fee is then discounted from the final booking price.  We take the hit with the booking fee, so the price you see from the start is what you pay.

Q: Do you charge for Photos?
A: NO, we take photos for Free at different parts for the Experience and upload them at the end of each day so you can download them at your convenience from our Customers pictures page. Some other Segway sites charge up to £6.99 for the same service🤦 we think this is totally unacceptable. that's why we offer this service for free. 

Q: I have payed the deposit, When & How do I pay the balance?
A: If you have payed the deposit for your booking you pay the balance on the day on our card machine we have on site.

Q: Do you provide training on the Segway?
A: Yes we provide one 2 one full training.

Q: Why do you only do 3 tours a day, I've seen other sites do up to 6 sessions a day? 
A: Because we go further and have varied terrain in a dynamic forest up and down hills which really drains the battery power. If a Segway centre can offer lots of timed sessions that would indicate its mainly flat surfaces or in a field. 

Q: Someone in our group is very nervous about the experience?
A: Segways' are very safe machines if operated correctly. We do get nervous individuals all the time as it can be a bit daunting trying a new activity and being out of your comfort zone. If this is the case within your group please can you inform us before the booking so we can make a note on the diary to assist them further, (don't feel ashamed or embarrassed this happens all the time and we want to give everybody the best segway experience possible).

Q: Do you operate in the Rain?
A: We do, We are mostly under trees.

Q: Is there somewhere we can get something the eat & drink afterwards?

Q: On the main page with tour timings it says "up to 60 mins e.c.t" what does that mean?
A: We leave that in because most people pick it up very quickly but there are odd occasions when some customers through no fault of their own need a little bit more training and confidence before we set off. Most tour run over the time but customers must understand we are a time sensitive activity with other bookings throughout the day. (the tour guide is constantly assessing the situation in real time) this is why it's very important that customers turn up at the correct time.
