The Experience

You meet your guide and receive a helmet, gloves and a warm vest if the weather calls for it. Before the tour begins, you get free practice time to learn how to operate the Segway—the guide walks you through the basics so you're comfortable before you leave the starting point. Once you're ready, the ride covers sidewalks, bike lanes and popular avenues, moving through the city faster than walking but with time to stop and absorb what you're seeing.

The route takes you past the Reichstag Building, the Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie and the Brandenburg Gate, with your guide pointing out each site and offering context about Berlin's history and what daily life in the city is actually like. You'll also ride along the banks of the Spree River. The Segway gets you to more ground in two hours than you'd cover on foot, and the stops are built in so you can take photos and listen without rushing.

You need to be at least 16 years old and weigh between 45 and 118 kilograms; a valid driver's license or moped certification is required. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing suited to the weather, since you'll be outdoors for the full two hours. Public transportation options are nearby if you need to reach the meeting point.
