Montjuïc Segway Tour

  It was my nieces' first time using a Segway. I had used one years ago. It didn't take long to become very comfortable using the Segway and, with your guide,... read more you feel very safe. Barca feels safe zooming around. The girls really enjoyed the tour. Our guide Naxos was friendly and polite. We saw the column, marina, the old walls of the city, El Born, the arc de triomphe, Gaudi's fountain and the big elephant. The tour takes about 2hours and it gives you a basic understanding of the layout of the city. My advice is, wear something warm in Winter and DEFINITELY wear gloves as it becomes cold when you are standing in the same spot.
PS I thought I had left this review before so if you see a second review that is similar to this, you will know why!

  Double decker bus tour? Tick. Done that. Queued up for the Gaudi? Tick. Done that. Seen the cathedral? Tick. Done that. Got half a day to kill? The Sun and... read more Segway is fun and you learn a lot about Barcelona that the formal guides leave out. After a 15 minute training tour in a small square you are zipping off around the streets and onto the waterfront and parks with guides who are not too pushy with usual platitudes but give personal insights into life in Barcelona and have a great sense of humour. They allow some freedom for going around the spaces, speak a number of languages and are great with kids. Our guide Pablo seemed to know half of the people in Barcelona and going through the big parks with him was a real treat. You can tailor the times to go but best to book early and if you have been on those big bus tours then some have discount coupons so make sure to keep those.

  Oscar was a fantastic guide. Smart. Funny. Kind. Informed. We loved our tour. Neither too long nor too short. Just enough history for teenagers and a good Segway speed.

  A fun experience for all of us
We were visiting Barcelona for two days with our teenage kids
and had a crammed itinerary. This tour whilst short and sweet, and... read more a welcome break to usual the walking tours we’d experienced.

Two of our group were proficient riders whilst 2 were a little unsure Our guide was extremely patient and helped them in the riding skills. By the end of the tour everyone was confident in their abilities.
Arnault our guide, also gave an informative tour of the park.

This tour is bookable using the Go City pass, we arranged it via email directly with the Segway company and the communication was swift.

We’d definitely do a Segway tour again.

  This tour was WONDERFUL. Our impressively multilingual guide was helpful and kind as we got used to being on Segway (it was the first time for me and my friend),... read more and he was so knowledgeable about all the sites we visited. The whole tour was really fun and exciting, and we really enjoyed ourselves immensely, particularly since we got to see so many places that would have been pretty far to reach on foot. My friend and I also appreciated that our Segway group was much smaller than the other groups we saw around, which was nice because we effectively had a private tour instead of trying to jostle for space near the guide. It was also a really smart idea to have us meet in the skateboarding park so that we had a good space to learn how to ride the Segway. All in all, very pleased with the experience and it was the highlight of our trip!

  We had so much fun zipping around Barcelona and our guide oscar was both fun and knowledgeable. I highly recommend everyone to give it a go. I had arranged the... read more tour as a surprise for my boyfriends bday and they were even kind enough to provide him with a bottle of cava.

  One of our best experiences in Barcelona! Great way to visit the marina, barcelonata, Olympic park etc.
Wouldn't have been as fun if not for our super fun guide PABLO... read more (the best!)

  Very nice . Oscar was an Excellent guide and teacher for the Segway. Great way to see part of the city.

  Small company but big in service.

They respond quickly to all questions. I had several and they took the time to respond. When a company... read more responds to your questions, no matter how innocuous they are, it shows they are a reliable company.

Tiziana is the operations manager and she responds quickly to all your emails.

Oscar is the actual Segway guide and he is excellent in his instructions. Plus he is funny and gives a great commentary of the places we visited while touring the beach front. And he keeps safety as paramount.

We ended at the Ciutadella Park before returning to the Segway office.
A note. They will send you a google map link for the meeting point. On this link you will see two Segway marks. One is the office. The other one is where you actually meet. It is in a park- The Graffiti Park of Barcelona, Jardin de les Tres Xemeies. So if you go to the park, you are in the right spot!

Their Segways seemed to be newer models. At least newer than the one we had in Bermuda last May.

Closest metro station there is Paral El. Meeting spot about a 5 minute walk.

  Fantastic private tour, our guide was engaging and took us to all the big spots on our tour. Time well spent, a must do! Tiziana was also great to... read more work with when booking, always so helpful!

  Oscar was our guide for the 3 hour citizen tour. This was a really good way to see downtown Barcelona and beaches. Oscar was very informative and amusing

  An awesome first experience on a Segway. A huge thank you to Goran who showed so much patience with a novice! It was a great tour enjoyed by our whole... read more party of five. The tour was made interesting by our tour leader who showed us the sites of Barcelona and provided the history to these. Can highly recommend the company and the attention provided by all the people we dealt with. Thank you.

  Excellent! We loved the tour! Informative but light-hearted, a really enjoyable experience. We would definitely recommend this tour company. Thank you Oscar!

  Really informative and so much fun I was worried my (10) and (12) year old children wouldn’t be allowed to ride but they were fine the tour guide was so... read more helpful! Would absolutely recommend x

  I did this tour with my family (all adults 25-55) with Pablo the tour guide! It was fantastic and he was fantastic! Personally, at times I was scared on the... read more Segway and he not only reassured me but helped me on the Segway and by the end I felt so much more confident and comfortable riding. It was so much fun!
Pablo’s knowledge of the city was great and very informative. I would recommend the Segway tour to anyone wanting to learn about Barcelona in a very fun way!

  Both Barcelona Sun & Segway and Akram (our guide) made our too-short visit to Barcelona great.

I wrote to them the same morning that our cruise ship was... read more arriving in town. They responded immediately with availability and times. The times would not work for our schedule, so they were willing to create a time slot for us that worked... what great flexibility! The directions they sent were perfect - including a photo of the meeting point. When we showed the taxi driver the photo, he knew where it was and took us right there.

They met us right on time. Since it was off-schedule, we wound up with a private tour. We told Akram what we wanted to see, and he was super-willing to rearrange our itinerary to take us where we wanted to go.

We probably visited 10-12 different sites during the re-arranged tour. Akram was very knowledgeable about what we were looking at, andd was able to explain what we were seeing and why it was interesting in clear, easy-to-understand English. We never felt rushed, even when we randomly stopped to take pictures, despite his concern with basically, making up the tour route as we rode.

We didn't see more than a small bit of the cool stuff in Barcelona - when I return, I will use Barcelona Sun & Segway to check some more sites off my list. Both their customer service and the tour itself deserves 11 points on a scale of 10 :)

NOTE: My friend had never segway-ed before; I had a couple of times under my belt. Akram took the time to get us both up to speed. It's really easy (after the first 5 terrifying minutes). Once you're used to driving the Segway, it is second nature. And Barcelona has a lot of bicycle lanes, so we were able to zip through traffic.

  This afternoon, we went on a Segway tour with Pablo - His knowledge was incredible, the places he showed us whilst out on the Segway’s were just brilliant, places we... read more didn’t even know existed despite having done 2 days of walking around the city already.
Thank you so so much, would highly recommend, worth every penny!
We’ll see you again next time we’re in Barcelona - Until next time,
Mat & Matt
