We have taken Segway tours in various world cities before but this was the best. We easily manoeuvred through Genova’s winding streets stopping frequently while Matt explained the historical significance of the sites before us. The tour was well paced, informative and a great way to see the historic Old Town including the beautiful noble residences, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We really enjoyed the experience. Learning segway done with seriousness, very kindness of the Italian guide who gave everything to speak French. The French was very approximate but sufficient, and at least done with will. To further explore the history of some places we will return more specifically but without segway. I highly recommend this activity if you want to discover the segway and travel the city quickly with a touch of history and sympathy.
Fabulous way to see Genoa. We chose the 2 hour tour to fully enjoy the city, definitely a highlight of our holiday. We had a problem weatherise on the 1st day of our booking but Mattieo gave us a few options, which we were grateful for, allowing us to do the tour with Joseph the following day. Can't fault the staff, their patience with novices is outstanding, very good tuition on how to travel safely and Joseph was very attentive, checking I was ok all through the trip - Brilliant! I would def recommend this tour!
I received this experience as a gift. Absolutely recommended, very fun and engaging, riding the Segway has allowed you to discover many interesting views of Genoa. Two and a half hours of flying, definitely not heavy and not tiring. Applause to Matthias, our guide, very prepared and very nice
A fun way to see Genova. Matt was a great guide with a good knowledge of the area and a lovely, easygoing narure. We learned a lot about the history of Genova which was enlightening and interesting
I highly recommend this activity to visit especially with Matt who knows the city on his fingertips and who makes you super comfortable to segway.
Matt was amazing. It was great to see how much he loved his city. Everything is great! Best tour on our trip yet.
What a fabulous way to see Genoa. Great fun and super informative. The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely recommend.
Great way to see Genoa. Tour guide Mattieo was fabulous. I would highly recommend the tour. We did a two hour tour and we really got to see the city. It is an absolutely a beautiful city. We were on a cruise ship and only had one day to see the city so it was a perfect experience. Thank you for a great day.
What a great way to see Genova! I can't say enough great things about Matt the guide! He was knowledgeable, funny and made the day so much fun. He clearly knows the city and took us to all the must see spots. The segway was easy to learn to use and Matt did a great job with a segway tutorial prior to the tour. This really is ideal with the hills, distance and closed streets.
