SEGWAY TOURER · SEE THE CITY, GLIDING
More city. Less walking.
Reviews of the best guided Segway tours around the world, city by city. Paris monument loops and Barcelona seafront glides, Prague’s cobbled lanes and Savannah’s live-oak squares, Rome between the ruins. The fast, fun way to see a place on your first morning in it.
Built for two wheels
Three cities that ride better than they walk.
Plenty of places run a Segway tour now. But a riverside glide past the Eiffel Tower, a roll from Barcelona’s old town straight onto the beach, and a loop of Rome’s ancient core are the rides that turn a long hot walk into the best hour of the trip.
On the Champ de Mars
Paris by the River
Paris was built for this. You glide the wide gravel paths of the Champ de Mars with the Eiffel Tower filling the windscreen, drop down to the Seine, and cover the Invalides, the bridges and the Trocadéro in the time a walking tour spends on one of them. Flat, paved, monument after monument, a guide on the headset the whole way.

From the Gothic Quarter to the sea
Barcelona, Old Town to Beach
Few cities link up as neatly on wheels. You roll out of the medieval Gothic Quarter, thread the lanes too narrow for a bus, then open up along the Barceloneta seafront with the Mediterranean on one side and Gaudí’s skyline on the other. The waterfront promenade is purpose-built for gliding, and the sea breeze does the rest.

Around the ancient core
Rome Between the Ruins
Rome’s great sights sit frustratingly far apart on foot and the cobbles wear you down by noon. On a Segway you join them up in one ride: the Colosseum, the Forum, the Circus Maximus and the fountains between, a local steering you through the traffic and the history at the same easy pace.

The classics
The World’s Most Popular Segway Tours
Washington DC, Paris, Rome, Nice, Savannah. The rides travellers book first, in the cities best seen on two wheels.
Where to ride
Start with a country.
Spain for seafront promenades and old-town plazas. France for monument loops and the Riviera. Italy for the ancient streets. The USA for historic squares and wide waterfronts. Then drill into the city you are actually flying to.
Before you book
What do you want to see first?
Most cities offer a few routes. Pick the one that matches the part of town you came for, and let the wheels cover the distance.
Sun, sea and Gaudí
No country glides like Spain.
Wide tiled promenades, flat old-town plazas and miles of seafront make Spain a natural on two wheels. Barcelona rolls from the Gothic Quarter to the beach, Valencia threads its dry riverbed park, Seville and Malaga open up their palm-lined waterfronts. Warm, level and built for the ride.

Made for wide American streets.
US cities were laid out with room to move, and that suits a Segway perfectly. Washington DC links the monuments and the Mall in one easy loop, Savannah drifts between its live-oak squares, San Diego and Fort Lauderdale run the bayfronts and beaches. Big distances, smooth pavement, plenty to see.

You stop walking and start seeing.
Ten minutes of training and the machine disappears under you. Then it is just the city sliding by: the breeze, the easy lean into a turn, the famous square arriving sooner than your feet would ever have carried you. You cover the ground a guidebook lists and still have the legs for the evening.
Browse every Segway tour →Around the Mediterranean
Old stone, warm sea, smooth ride.
The Mediterranean cities reward the wheels twice over: ancient streets too far apart to walk in the heat, then a seafront promenade made for cruising. Rome between the ruins, Nice along the Promenade des Anglais, Barcelona old-town-to-beach, Malaga and Athens in the same easy roll.

By ride length
How long do you want to be on the wheels?
Some mornings you want the headline sights and a coffee. Some days you want the full two-hour sweep of a city. And some days you have the time to roll out to the parks and viewpoints. Pick the length, we will point you at the ride.
A quick lap
See the headline sights and go.An hour on the wheels covers more landmarks than a morning on foot: the famous squares, the photo stops, the training loop, then you are off to lunch.
The classic ride
Cover a city in one glide.Two hours is the sweet spot: the old town and the seafront, the monuments and the back lanes, a guide pointing out what you would have rolled straight past.
The long ride
Take the scenic way round.Half a day on two wheels reaches the parks, the viewpoints and the neighbourhoods beyond the centre, the spread-out sights you would never link up walking.
From the Seine to the sea
France was paved for the perfect glide.
Long riverside paths, grand monument esplanades and the flat seafront of the Riviera make France one of the great places to ride. Paris loops the Eiffel Tower and the Seine, Nice runs the Promenade des Anglais, Lyon threads its two rivers. A guide on the headset, the landmarks lining up one after another.
