It’s our first time and first day in Frankfurt. Our guide was Herbie, and we were sorry for letting him waited for us, as we were trying to navigate our way to get to the right place. The Segway was so fun, and Herbie is such a good ‘coach’, even he couldn’t speak much English and we couldn’t speak German at all. By body language and pure facial expression, we managed to communicate with each other. And we learn to ride and absolutely enjoyed our trip on wheels. Thanks Herbie again!

We got Herbie who was a big help in learning how to use the segways especially since one of us needed some extra attention after we started with the tour. Some difficulty in communication as we did not speak German and he wasn't too fluent in English. Still could make do just fine though. All in all, a pretty good experience.

Was a really great experience for my husband and I, we would do it again at any time and definitely recommend it to everyone! :-)

Beautiful tour through parks and a wonderful forest to Höchst and back.

We turned it into a team event and the format is highly recommended.
