Practice on our spacious training ground before take-off. We begin the tour along the water in a car-free zone: a great way to start your Segway Cruise
This will be the first of the two mermaids you will see on our tour. A hidden gem in Copenhagen and located just by our training ground.
The famous Little Mermaid is one of the first major sights on our tour; in fact you will see it within 5 minutes from take-off. We like to consider her our friendly (and quite popular) neighbour! There is of course a photo stop so you can document your visit.
One of the green areas of Copenhagen we will pass - and you will hear why we have so many gardens and small parks around the city

As we cruise along the water front towards Nyhavn you will be fully acquainted with Holmen on the other side of the water. Your guide will tell you some interesting stories about the various war-ships docked over there. Please note though that you will fully be able to see these monuments but we will not cross the water as it is part of the Maritime museum.
The beautiful angel is said to guard all who passes through the harbour - that includes us!
The Amalie Garden is a beautiful small garden right outside the Queen's Palace

We had a great experience, a superb guide and really good customer service. It is unfortunately rare to play tourist in your own country, so a good way to spend a sunny day. In addition, you know it is a good activity when you can lure your “adult” children with
Det glæder os meget og vores team, at du var glad for vores tur. Det handler om gode oplevelser med familie og venner. 1000 tak for den varme feedback. Mikkel
Brilliant tour, really informative good way to see the city. Our guide was brilliant. Very fun :)
Thanks for the varm feedback. Our team and guides try to deliver a fun trip and time. All the best Mikkel
We stayed at the NH Collection which was very good. Very central and close to the metro, also an excellent breakfast buffet. I would recommend getting an AP to use all forms of public transport as this is an excellent way to get around, especially if your are not up for to much walking. Are stay in Copenhagen was made even better with the heavy snow fall a few days before we arrived and it stayed with us right up to when we left, not getting above freezing helped with that. We visited the round tower that gave you a very good view of the city. The Botanical gardens were magical in the snow. If books are your thing a trip to the university library is good. The many shops selling pastries and coffee obviously very good. We took a trip across the bridge to Sweden by train very easy and very cheap. All in all a very enjoyable trip.
We are happy you had a great trip to Copenhagen and you also made an effort to see and explore things. That has paid off. tx Mikkel
We had a wonderful time exploring the sites of Copenhagen with our guide Michael. We were given a safety briefing and practice before setting off on a 1hr 15 loop and really enjoyed Michael’s informative and humorous tour. Highly recommended.
Thanks for the warm review on our tour with you. Our guide will be happy for this feedback and we are happy for your great experience. Best from the team
Had a great tour around Copenhagen. It was lots of fun and picked up lots of interesting facts about Copenhagen. My son and I had a brilliant time.
Thanks for the warm feedback and we are so happy you had a great time. During the low seasons the trips are smaller and we have a great time at the sites..tx Mikkel
Great fun ..some quite hairy bits in the city centre trying to negotiate traffic and pedestrians . Great guide.
Hi Poul and thanks for the great review and warm feedback. We are happy you had a good tour and that our guide Muhib did a good job for your group. Best from Segway/ Mikkel
Mubid was a wonderful and patient host. A bit inconvenient with the rain but still a great tour. Easy to ride
Dear Kath. We are so happy for the tour review. We always try to accomodate guest and be patient. Rain or sun always fun. Best Mikkel / Owner
Me and my husband booked on a 10am 1 hour Segway tour for our first day in Copenhagen to see some of the sights to start our city break. We ended up being the only 2 booked on as it was a quieter time in September. Our tour guide and the owner Mikkel was brilliant and got us at ease on the segways before we set off. He knew so much about the city, the history, arts, architecture, politics, monarchy and more. We learnt loads and it was a really fun way to see the sights and find out about the history of Copenhagen. You listen on an ear piece but can stop or slow down as needed when at the main sights to take photos. As someone that wouldn't normally go on a guided tour, I thoroughly enjoyed this and there was so much to learn about and see, with more speed and less standing around than walking tours. I now want to do a Segway tour in every city I go to! I wouldn't hesitate to book, 100% recommend. Thanks for a great Copenhagen experience!
Dear guest, thank you so much for your warm words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the tour and our guide team. Your feedback motivates us to keep creating fun, insightful, and safe experiences. – Szabina
Mikkel was our tour guide and what can I say? We can't think of a better guide than him! The tour was great! None of us had been on a Segway before and Mikkel taught us all within minutes so the tour could start. During the tour we saw the biggest sights of the city and Mikkel had some background knowledge and tips for everything. After the tour, he also gave us some helpful tips for exploring the city further, so we could visit everything else about the city on foot. Absolutely recommend! Unfortunately, the hour was over very quickly, so our tip: With enough time the 2-hour tour. Thanks Mikkel for the great time!
Dear guest . Wow that was a warm feedback. Our guide Mikkel will be very happy to read this and thanks for the input and your great experience with us. This what we do best. tx Szabina
We loved our time with OLD Pierre. He was kind , informative and so patient as he waited until we felt comfortable on the Segway. My teenage daughter and I had a great time!
Old Pierre would love to see this feedback and thanks for the input. We love to give a good experience. tx Mikkel
