Copenhagen: Segway City Tour with Concierge & Small Group

Summary

Segway ride past royal palaces, harbor views & cozy streets

You’ll roll through Copenhagen’s icons by Segway — Nyhavn’s colors, Amalienborg’s royal drama, and that famous Little Mermaid statue. Expect stories from your local guide, small group energy, concierge tips after (plus coffee), and plenty of chances to see daily life up close. It feels more personal than you’d guess.

What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to feel nervous about a Segway in Copenhagen — but there I was, helmet on, hands a little sweaty. Our guide Mads grinned and promised it’d be easier than riding a bike (I still wobbled at first). Once we got moving, though, something clicked. The city felt different from this height; cobblestones buzzing under the wheels as we zipped past Nyhavn’s painted houses and caught a salty whiff from the canal. It’s weirdly quiet up here compared to walking.

Mads had this way of making even the old royal stories sound like gossip — he pointed out Amalienborg Palace and told us about the time the Queen surprised everyone by cycling past the guards. We stopped for photos at The Little Mermaid (smaller than I’d pictured) and he laughed when I tried to pronounce “Kastellet” properly. There was a moment near the Opera House where the wind shifted and you could hear distant music drifting over the water. That stuck with me for some reason.

The best part? After two hours cruising through Christiansborg Palace and those tucked-away gardens (I won’t spoil them), we ended up back at their lounge with coffee and maps spread out. Mads scribbled his favorite bakery on mine — “go early or it’s gone,” he said. There was no rush to leave; just people chatting about what they’d seen, swapping tips for dinner spots. I still think about that view over the harbor, honestly.
