The Experience

The tour begins with Segway training at Zakrzowek, where you learn to turn and stop before the route proper starts. Once you're steady, the guide takes you through the Old Town's main landmarks: the Main Market Square with its cloth hall and St. Mary's Basilica (famous for towers of different heights), the Royal Way that connects the city's historic sites, and Wawel Royal Castle, where you'll hear about Poland's kings and queens. The ride covers ground a walking tour would take twice as long, so you see more without the exhaustion.

The route also passes the Great Barbican and St. Florian's Gate — the last remaining fragment of Krakow's medieval wall — and takes you along the Planty Park that rings the Old Town. Your guide explains why each street and building matters: the history of ul. Kanknicza (Krakow's oldest street), the legend of the Wawel Dragon, and the stories behind Plac Franciszkański and the Jagiellonian University, Poland's oldest. The Jewish Quarter is woven into the route, so you get the full picture of the city's diverse past and present.

You'll ride for roughly 2 hours total. The guide speaks English, Italian, French, German or Polish depending on which tour option you book — each language runs as a separate departure. Helmet and raincoat are provided, and the Segway itself handles the work, so the tour suits most fitness levels; the operator notes it's not recommended for people with spinal injuries, cardiovascular conditions, or during pregnancy. Public transport is nearby if you need to get to the starting point.

Is this one for you?Book the shared tour if you want to meet other travelers and keep the price down; choose the private option if you prefer the guide's full attention and want to set your own pace through the stops. Either way, the Segway itself is what makes a full tour of the Old Town, the Jewish Quarter and the castle grounds possible in a single morning or afternoon without arriving tired.
