- You’ll enjoy gliding through historic Athens on a Segway without getting tired feet, but expect small cobblestone areas to slow you down sometimes.
- The guides are usually friendly, patient, and full of fun history, so you’ll feel relaxed even if you’ve never ridden before.
- The ride is a great value for covering many key landmarks quickly, but entry fees to certain sites are extra cost and not included.
- Group size stays fairly small so you get attention, though occasionally a larger group may cause minor delays on narrow streets.
- The route takes you through vibrant neighbourhoods like Monastiraki and Plaka where you’ll feel the local buzz and find sweet spots for photos.
- Go in the cooler morning or late afternoon to avoid heat and get softer light for photos and better comfort from the sun.
- Make sure to wear comfy shoes and avoid large bags to stay agile on your Segway and skip any fuss at start.
- If you want to grab a cheap snack or coffee, wait until after the tour ends in Plaka to save time and avoid carrying food on the ride.
