Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Mattina

This Segway tour was a fantastic way to start our visit to Istanbul. Riding a Segway was easy to learn and made it possible to cover much more ground than we could have on foot. It gave us a great high level overview of the city's history, neighborhoods, and major landmarks, which helped us decide which places we wanted to explore in more depth later. Tarik, was friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the tour. He shared interesting facts and stories at each stop, making the city's history come alive while keeping the experience fun. He also made sure my wife and I felt comfortable and confident on the Segways, and the pace was perfect for taking in the sights. If you're looking for a fun and unique way to get oriented and see many of Istanbul's highlights in a short amount of time, I highly recommend this Segway tour, especially Tarik. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and professionalism made it one of the most enjoyable experiences of our trip.

Great tour, highly recommended. Our guide was great, and extremely knowledgeable-- literally PhD level. The segways are easy to ride, we had never riden one before and had no trouble,

Tarik provided an exceptional tour, history, and architecture. It was my first day in Istanbul so it was a great way to get familiar with the city. It was my first time in a segway and it is extremely easy to use. You cover a lot of ground on it. Tarik English is excellent too.

Excellent - our guide was brilliant and excellent communication and wealth of knowledge and easy to understand

The best guide ever and the best experience if you want to learn about Istanbul history, why the buildings look like they look. You also discove hidden gems that you would not find otherwise.

There are a couple of number 27s on the street, correct one is for the flats 27-29 over the entrance

A lot of history, our guide was great. Segway are easy to learn. But it was very cold, I should have bundled up.

I ended up having a private tour since I was the only one registered for that date and time, which was a nice bonus. It was also my first time ever riding a Segway. Toward the end of the tour, I admittedly got into my own head about balancing, which made it more challenging for me. So a rule of thumb: if you’re not comfortable with balance-based activities or tend to overthink them, this might not be the best fit. The route includes several uphill and downhill inclines, as well as some uneven terrain. It definitely adds character and fun to the experience, but it does require steady balance and confidence. That said, the guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. He shared interesting insights at each stop and provided great historical background about the buildings and locations we visited. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys active experiences, has good balance, or likes activities similar to high-wire or tightrope-style challenges. It’s a unique and memorable way to explore the area!

Fantastic tour with a small group. Visited all the main sites with very knowledgeable guide. Extremely enjoyable.

We had a thrilling time flying through the city. Our guide Tarik gave us an amazing overview of Istanbul, past and present and tons of historical information. We learned a lot and had so much fun.
