Rhodes City Segway Tour: Medieval Streets Ride

Roll through the Medieval City on a Segway, stopping at the Palace and the harbour where the Colossus once stood.

A 60-minute Segway tour of Rhodes City and Old Town with a local English-speaking guide covers Mandraki harbour, the Street of the Knights, the Jewish Quarter, the Grand Master Palace, and the Archaeological Museum. You ride a Segway Mini through the Medieval City's main highlights instead of walking them. Minimum age is 12. Moderate fitness is required.

The experience

The tour rolls out for an hour on a Segway Mini, which means you cover the Medieval City's main sights without the fatigue of walking steep cobbled streets. Your guide is a local English speaker who knows the history and the stories behind each stop: Mandraki harbour where the famous Colossus once stood, the Street of the Knights with its grand facades, the Jewish Quarter, and the Grand Master Palace with its fortifications. The pace is set by the Segway, so you move through the Old Town in a way that lets you actually look around instead of navigating the route.

You'll see Ippokratous Square, the Archaeological Museum, and the Palace fortifications as part of the same loop. The guide points out what matters at each spot and fills in the layers of history (Medieval, Ottoman, Italian occupation) that shaped the city. A Segway handles the uneven ground better than your feet would, and the height gives you a different angle on the narrow streets and the harbour views.

Top questions

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the Street of the Knights like, and do we stop there long enough to look around?

The Street of the Knights is the Medieval City's most famous thoroughfare, lined with the grand buildings of the different orders that ruled Rhodes. The tour includes it as one of the main stops, and the guide explains the architecture and history while you're there, though the pace is set by the Segway route rather than by time to linger.

Is Mandraki harbour included, and what will I see there?

Mandraki harbour is one of the main stops on the tour. You'll see the spot where the Colossus of Rhodes once stood, marked by the Statues of Deers that now stand in its place: one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Old Town.

How much walking is involved if I'm not comfortable on a Segway for the whole hour?

The tour is designed to be done entirely on the Segway Mini, so there's minimal walking. If you have concerns about balance, fitness or any physical limitation, check the additional info: the tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or poor cardiovascular health, and you should have at least moderate fitness.

Can children go on this tour?

The minimum age is 12 years old. Children must meet the moderate fitness requirement and be comfortable balancing on a Segway for the full hour.
