    Review summary

    This Yorktown operation runs as both a tour company and retail shop, with the Segway tours being the standout attraction. Guests consistently rave about guides like Rick and Myles who bring Yorktown's history to life while making everyone feel comfortable on the equipment. The training process gets high marks for being thorough yet relaxed, and reviewers appreciate extras like photo opportunities and chances to just have fun zipping around on the Segways. Many visitors return for repeat tours, which speaks volumes about the quality of the experience. The owners, including Jill and Randy, maintain a welcoming shop that's perfect for renting kayaks, paddle boards, or picking up souvenirs and refreshments. The waterfront location provides easy access to a private beach area, and staff accommodate walk-ins when possible. Customer service is genuinely exceptional here, with the team going out of their way to help families and provide local recommendations. One reviewer mentioned an uncomfortable incident involving stern communication with their teenager, but it appears to be an isolated situation in an otherwise overwhelmingly positive track record. Booking ahead is recommended, especially for the popular Segway tours.

    Great location for a lil kayak adventure! The staff was super helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend checking them out while spending time In the area. We even got to see the bridge open up and a ship exit the River. Equipment was excellent, nice kayaks!
