Discovering the old town of Rhodes on a Segway is fun on the one hand and lets you discover the city in less time than would be the case on foot. Unfortunately, our ferry was late, so that we were no longer able to keep the booked appointment on site. Still, it was somehow made possible to do a tour, albeit shortened, which we didn't expect. It was our mistake to book the tour in such a short time. The employees, especially Federica, are lovely people who gently and calmly guided us to the Segway. We then had a wonderful tour that we would highly recommend to everyone! 6 stars!!!!

We had a wonderful time with Popi! It was just the two of us, she made sure we were comfortable and safe all of the time and she was a great tour guide. She went at our pace and we most certainly covered more of the town than we ever would have on foot! It was a nice selection of long stretches and shady streets along with a wonderful bit of speed along the harbour. The short photo stops were also much appreciated! Thank you!

My daughter and I had a segway tour of Rhodes with Popi. It was a great way of exploring the city, we got to see so many interesting landmarks, which would never be possible by foot in 3 hours! We also learnt so many interesting facts. I would highly recommend the activity!

We did Segway tour of old town. Great fun and definitely see a lot more than you would on foot. A great way to spend a few hours and learn about old town. Our guide Fredrika was lovely

Two hour Segway tour was great! Federica was so bubbly and a fun guide! Highly recommend.
