John Stevens – Travel Agent, Agency Owner and Segway PT Tour Enthusiast
John Stevens has worked in the travel business for nearly 10 years. He’s been an agency owner as well as an active travel agent specializing in tours, cruises and vacation planning.
He was planning an international vacation for a client group, who he was traveling with, when he first came across the concept of a Segway PT tour.
“It sounded like an experience the group would enjoy, so I immediately booked it,” said Stevens. “The group had a ball. The reviews were fantastic – and as they say – the rest is history.”
Today, Segway PT tours have become the number one most requested activity for John’s clients because they are a fun, safe and a relatively inexpensive way to tour large cities in a reasonably short period of time. More importantly, the view is up close and personal.
“I have joined my clients on more than 7 Segway PT tours. We’ve enjoyed tour experiences in the U.S. as well as Europe,” Stevens commented. “I highly recommend that travelers seek out a Segway PT tour on their next vacation and give it a try. They’ll be glad they did!”
