One of the most amazing segway tours me and my wife have done! We segway a lot and do it as our first activity usually on city breaks to get to know the lay of the land before the footwork. But doing the segway at night in ATHENS, come on! This is an experience on another level. I am so grateful to our host, she was amazing, fortunately because it was an evening tour, it was just me and my wife so we skipped the beginner's lessons and just got on with it, and she took us everywhere! and had time to stop everywhere and take the history in, she was so good at her history that when we stopped for the changing of the guard which is incredible sight and rich history, the soldier on site came over to commend her for giving accurate information unlike other tour guides It was amazing, thank you for a lovely experience.

Our guide was super fantastic. We went all around athens and learned all about the city in three hours. It was easier to learn how to drive the Segway than I thought.

Fun way to get an overview of sites in Athens. Our group of 4 all had a great time and the guide was excellent.

So much fun- just my daughter and I, Costas was so patient and in no time we were zipping around Athens. He gave us a lot of info about sights we had seen earlier in the week and took us to places we would have never known about ourselves. Please give them a try!

What a magical way to see Athens! We covered lots of ground. It was a great overview of some of the sights that we went back to later during the day. We went in November, so it was cool. Remember there is a wind chill when riding the Segway. Hat, scarf and gloves are recommended. The addition of a guide communication system with microphone and headsets for guests would make the experience much more pleasurable because hearing the guide was challenging in some of the noisy, bustling streets of Athens.

Our tour guide Vera was wonderful and we had so much fun riding around the city after dark. It is very easy to learn to ride a Segway and only takes about 5 minutes. A fun way to get around.

This tour was amazing. We only had 24 hours in Athens and this was the best way to explore the sights. We chose a night tour which started before sunset, allowing us to get good photos. Also because it was much cooler we were more relaxed. Athens after sunset is beautiful as well. Great fun!

We did not feel safe at night in Athens and did not go.

This was the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide Gina was fantastic and seeing Athens at night was incredible. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided enough information and time at each site. It is hard to believe how much ground we covered in 3 very full hours. As for the segways, they were easy and fun to ride. I would highly recommend this tour.
