The Experience

You arrive 15 minutes early for helmet fitting and a personal radio so you hear the guide clearly. Training takes another 15 minutes—the operator says it's easy, and you practice until comfortable before the group rolls out. The tour itself runs two hours, moving through Copenhagen on the Segway while your guide narrates the stops: Strøget's pedestrian street, the Kings Square with its 18th-century hotels, Amalienborg Palace where the Queen and crown prince live, the Gefion Fountain, the Little Mermaid statue, and the car-free harborside zone where Kastellet—a 17th-century military fortress still in use—sits overlooking the water.

You'll cruise past the Copenhagen Opera House with views across the waterside, stop at Nyhavn with its postcard-colored row of buildings (the guide explains how it was once a merchant port), pass the Old Stock Exchange with its dragon spire, and ride through the Latin Quarter where you'll see streets dating back centuries and hidden corners locals favor. The route ends at Christiansborg Palace, where the Parliament sits, and the guide shares stories about Danish culture and why Danes rank among the world's happiest people. You get off the Segway for photo stops at Nyhavn and the Little Mermaid, so the day mixes riding and standing still.

Once you hand in the helmet and radio, you're welcome to stay in the lounge for complimentary coffee, tea, hot chocolate, water, beer or juice while you ask the guide anything about the city. You'll receive a Segway souvenir, free city maps, and personalized recommendations for where to go, eat and have fun in Copenhagen. The office also offers luggage storage during the tour, a 20% discount on bike rentals if you want to explore further, and fast-track tickets for Tivoli Gardens if that interests you.
