Description
The Tour Scenario: A city that unfolds in front of your eyes. Different elements and colors of Athens, Mythical stories and historical debates. Discover Athens beyond sightseeing. Under hot sun and around the slopes of the sacred hill of the Acropolis, gods and heroes wandered. The goddess Athena, flesh of the father of Gods, all mighty Zeus, was released from his head. Athena, was the protector of the city of Athens, which was the cradle of dialogue, philosophy, athletic equity and drama. We invite you to share with us the story of Greek mythology and history which will inspire you. Gliding on a Segway through the streets of this mythical city is the way we choose to familiarize you with its secrets and charms. An extraordinary way, the SEGYOURWAY. Should you follow us to this spectacular tour, we will cruise through a narrative of politics and ideals, of art and trade, of love and sorrow that is interlaced with the city.

Our guide was knowledgeable and personable responding well to our questions and attentive to our safety and well-being. His English was fluent and as well as history we discussed Greek and European politics and society. The segways were well maintained and in good condition with storage space for our valuables and the water the company provided. The safety helmets had been cleaned and sterilised prior to use. The communication headsets were comfortable to wear and allowed us to hear the guide clearly without interference. The tour took in the Acropolis, Mars Hill, the ancient agora, the Roman agora and baths and the Olympic amphitheatre as well as Byron’s memorial and interesting back streets. Occasionally streets were crowded and progress a bit slower.
The Segway was a surprisingly effective way to get an overview to the major sites on a very hot summer day. I wish we could have found shadier spots to stop when our guide was relaying site information or if we could have kept moving to keep the breeze moving. We did the tour on our first afternoon and I thought it was a great overview. We did this with our 20 year old daughter and 14 year old boys and everyone enjoyed it. I recommend it!
We appreciate your review and we are very glad that you chose SegYourWay Athens! As we strive for excellence, it is always a pleasure to know that our guests were happy with their choice! Once again, thank you very much! The SegYourWay Team
This experience is without doubt a "20" on a scale of 1-10 --- it was one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip to Greece! We were greeted by a friendly and highly organized staff, offered refreshments, lockers for our belongings and excellent training by Anna- Maria and our tour guide, George. Better yet, George's vast wealth of historical knowledge, helpful nature, and area expertise made our 3-hour tour absolutely and I do mean 💯 percent ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The attention to detail prior, during, and after the tour was second to none. Every single person on our tour noticed this. George, you are AMAZINNNNNG and Anna-Maria, you are AWESOMMMME. Thanks so much for such an incredible experience. We will never forget it!!!
Quality of Segway equipment was top notch as was our guide. Partway thru the the tour we stopped for a refreshment and treat that was wonderful. What was NOT wonderful during conversation at stop, the person next to me said she was not vaccinated which was very concerning to me. Stop should not take place if vaccination status is not enforced. The last part of tour is thru a VERY crowded pedestrian area that should be avoided.
Great trip, A great way to see all the most top attractions in 3 hours and hear all about them!!!!!!
George was a great guide. Lots of great information. Great stops and a very nice snack break where George demonstrate how to eat one of his favorite dessert! Very safe conscious also!
The escort was very kind and prepared. The best segway tour we've done in Europe. Amazing experience!
wowow.. it was fantastic our guide was super energetic, great English, very caring, very sweet. Very knowledgeable in ancient history we enjoyed very much
We are travel agents and make effort to do Segway tours as often as possible and available. We felt this was perhaps the finest Segway experience that we've had. George provided us with a great opportunity to view Athens from a different perspective than we've previously experienced. It was also a very good idea to stop for refreshments and dessert during our tour. This was an excellent execution of a Segway tour by virtue of the selection of route, tour stops, well presented details, caution for safety and an upscaled feeling of being treated by the Tour company to local beverage and dessert. George took care to prepare the galaktoboureko for us to self serve and enjoy. We will certainly advise our clients to book this tour.
Best! I have a custom in every city I come to to do a Segway tour, doing so for years as a city owner and place in the world. Segyourway Athens have proven to be good and excellent! We arranged a tour for 15:00, we paid 64 euros for a 3 hour tour. They sent us a taxi to pick us up from the hotel, when we arrived we were treated to a fizzy drink, the guide gave an explanation of the tour. We were given an audio system that allows us to hear the guide's explanations without having to stop near each and every site. During the tour the guide gave us a break at a local cafe, ordered us coffee, water and all-inclusive dessert without having to pay extra (we were really surprised). The Segways were new and each Segway had a camera installed with which to take pictures. The place is very clean, keeps all the rules of the garden. The guide was very professional. Definitely recommended! Worth every euro. * NOTE * On hot days it is advisable to transfer the tour time to the morning or evening hours it is very difficult to carry out the tour in the afternoon in the heavy heat.
