Segway Nice City Center Tour: Promenade des Anglais & Old Town

Your guide trains you on the Segway, then you ride it yourself through the city.

A 1.5-hour Segway tour of Nice led by a live guide in English or French, starting on the Promenade des Anglais and moving through Old Nice's historic streets and the Cours Saleya flower market. You begin with instruction on the Segway at a moderate pace, then follow your guide through the city's landmarks and squares, ending with a photo at the #ILOVENICE spot. Helmet is included; minimum age is 14, and riders must weigh between 45 and 118 kilos.

The Experience

How do you cover Nice's main sights without walking for hours? The Segway does the distance while you stay fresh enough to actually look around. Your guide meets you on the Promenade des Anglais and walks you through the basics — the Segway is intuitive once you have the balance, and your instructor stays with you until you're steady. Once you're in control, the tour moves at a moderate pace through the city's landmarks: you'll pass the Grand Opera from the Quai des Etats-Unis, then head into the narrow, shaded streets of Old Nice where your guide explains the history through the squares and monuments you're actually standing in front of.

The Cours Saleya flower market is the kind of place that stops you mid-ride. Your guide takes you through it, and then you finish at the #ILOVENICE spot for the photo everyone takes. The whole circuit runs 1.5 hours, so it fits into a morning or an afternoon without eating your whole day. You'll need to be at least 14 years old and weigh between 45 and 118 kilos; anyone under 16 rides with an adult alongside.
