Granada: Albaicin and Sacromonte Segway Tour
Description
Discover mysterious neighborhoods of Granada on 2 hour monumental segway tour. It's a great way to see Sacromonte and Albaicin with local experienced instructor. Due to special geographical location Granada offers great routes with picturesque views. The city is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains so the streets go up and down making segway probably the most comfortable way of transportation. This tour doesn't include Alhambra, however you will enjoy observing it from San Nicholas and many other viewpoints. Pass by Plaza Nueva, Fuente del Toro, Paseo de los Tristes, old gypsy caves all the way up to Abadia del Sacromonte. The Sacromonte Abbey shows the cultural past of the city and is vital to understanding the history of Granada. Wonder through the narrow streets of Albaicin neighborhood, pass by Mosque of Granada and take photos on one of the most famous viewpoints - San Nicholas square.

We had the most fantastic Segway tour with TopSegway through the Albaicín and Sacromonte in Granada, and it was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip! As a party of five (with adult children ages 20–26), we were all first-timers on Segways, but our guide Kaell made everything feel easy, safe, and unforgettable. Kaell was incredibly patient from the very beginning, giving us clear instructions and building our confidence quickly. He’s not just an expert rider—he’s an outstanding tour guide and passionate historian. His stories brought the historic neighborhoods, stunning views, and cultural gems of Granada to life in such an engaging way. We learned so much while having a blast zipping around! One funny (and slightly nerve-wracking) moment: heading up a steep hill, I pulled back on the steering wheel, but started going faster than expected. Kaell reacted in a split second, grabbing my steering wheel and steadying me perfectly. I was absolutely fine and felt totally safe the entire time. He’s an absolute pro on the Segway! My adult kids loved it even more than I did—it quickly became their favorite tour of the entire trip. We saw so many beautiful sites that we would have missed otherwise. This is such a fun, unique, and efficient way to explore Granada’s magical streets and viewpoints. Highly, highly recommend TopSegway and especially booking with Kaell! If you’re in Granada, don’t miss this experience. Thank you, Kaell—you made our family adventure truly special! 🙌
This is not a tour designed for everyone. You really should have prior experience on a Segway and know that you are already capable on challenging, steep, narrow, winding, uneven, bumpy cobblestone streets in the midst of pedestrian tourists and motorbikes. We believed the advertised description of this experience being appropriate for ages 16 to 99. I think the current ad says for ages 9 to 100. Don't believe it! The ad also mentions that your guide will go over the basics of Segway operation before the tour begins. In reality the guide weeds out the people who would be at risk if they attempted the tour. Because nobody wants to have an accident and injure themselves or others. This could raise liability issues for the tour company as well. My husband and I gladly declined to participate after trying to use the Segway because we could see that we would be struggling the whole way, concentrating on driving/riding the blasted thing and not enjoying a moment of charming atmosphere or panoramic views. The kicker is, that the tour company kept our money, and we didn't get a refund until TripAdvisor/Viator stepped in to help us. My advice to the tour company is: 1) Stop the false advertising. 2) Admit that you are testing and screening for those who shouldn't participate. 3) Offer to return the money to those who don't pass muster. And my advice to potential customers is: Don't sign up for this unless you know you can do it without risk. Or take the risk that you may waste your morning on something that doesn't pan out for you and/or others in your group. And then you get to negotiate for a refund. I learned that I would rather WALK slowly up and down the Albaicin and Sacromonte hills to appreciate the scenery for free.
The best way to climb to Sacromonte and Albhacin. Fast, fun and Carmem was rated 10
A super fun experience and highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit the coolest parts of Granada. Fares was a fantastic guide.

Fares great host amazing trip
It's super easy to go uphill with a Segway! Fares was an incredible guide!
Our guide Kaell was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable about the city and it's history! He made sure that our first Segway experience was fun and safe. I would highly recommend! It was a full 2 hours of sightseeing and I would love to go again.
The tour was absolutely amazing and so much fun! Unfortunately, we couldn't make it to the tour we had originally booked. We were very grateful to be able to switch to a different tour. We were so lucky, it was a very small group, and Carmen was a fantastic guide, very patient and helpful. Highly recommended; I would definitely book a tour again! Thank you very much.
