We had a very bad experience on the Segway Tour . Within 10 minutes of the Tour my wife hit a curb and landed on her face, her nose immediately started to bleed and now has considerable brusing to her face and the left side of her body. The guide gave a tissue for the blood and stayed with us for a few minutes, and then asked if we were ok to continue the tour. At this stage my wife was still shaking, I told her there is no way we were going back on like that. The guide made some calls to get the Segways back to the shop. The guide and I brought the Segways back to the square and she continued on with the Tour as she had 5 others on it. It is now two days after the tour and we have received no check-in regarding the accident from the Segway Tour company, they have both our phone number and email. Having paid in full for both of us, I feel a little disappointed that we did not receive some form of refund and a welfare check.
Cescil (apologies if I spelt that wrong) was a wonderful tour guide. It was just us three on the tour and we had a great time. Constantly learning and engaging within the history of Lyon and some beautiful sights along the way. Really made our day in Lyon
Thank you so much ! It was a pleasure to show you Lyon and we would be happy to see you again for another tour with Cécile ! ☀️
First segway experience. Nice walk. Our excellent guide, very caring. The weather was also good, a good recipe for great success.
Great experience with Ilona Visiting Lyon by segway is a real pleasure and saves a lot of time!!
