The Experience

You'll start with a brief training session on the Segway itself—how to balance, steer and stop on the self-balancing device—before the guide leads you out onto Warsaw's oldest streets. The route takes you past the Royal Castle and Sigismund's Column in Castle Square, then into the heart of Old Town where the Warsaw Mermaid statue stands and the Barbican marks the medieval boundary. Along the way you'll pass the Maria Skłodowska Curie Museum and cross into New Town, where the Market Square opens up. The pace is built around the Segway, so you're moving steadily but not rushing; the guide points out the landmarks and the history as you go.

The Multimedia Fountain Park comes midway through, where the fountains perform in sequence—water, light and music timed together—and you get a clear view of the Vistula River from the riverside. You'll also see the Warsaw Uprising Monument and Krasińskich Square, plus the Monument of the Little Insurgent, a small bronze figure that marks a real moment from the city's past. The route loops back through the Old Town, and by the end you've covered the major landmarks without standing in any queues; the skip-the-line access means you're seeing the sights from the Segway rather than waiting outside them.

The whole tour runs 90 minutes, and the guide speaks English throughout. You get a helmet and a raincoat if the weather turns, and the Segway itself is the original model—not a knockoff. The training takes the first few minutes, so even if you've never ridden one, you'll be comfortable before the route begins.

Top questions

What is the Warsaw Mermaid and where do I see it on this tour?

The Warsaw Mermaid is a bronze statue in the Old Town Square, a symbol of the city that appears on the coat of arms. You'll pass it during the Old Town section of the route, roughly midway through the 90-minute tour.

Do I need any experience riding a Segway to book this tour?

No. The tour includes a training session at the start where the guide teaches you how to balance, steer and stop on the Segway before you leave for the route. The training takes a few minutes and covers everything you need.

What happens if the weather is bad during the tour?

Raincoats are provided if it rains, so you can stay dry while riding. The tour runs in most weather conditions, and the gear is included in the price.

Can I see the Multimedia Fountain Park up close, or just from a distance?

You'll ride through the Multimedia Fountain Park itself as part of the route, so you see the fountains performing with water, light and music from close range. It's one of the main stops on the tour.

What's the weight range for riding a Segway on this tour?

Riders must weigh between 30 kg and 135 kg (65–295 lbs). The Segway is calibrated to balance within that range, so it's a safety requirement rather than a preference.

Will I skip the line at any of the attractions on this tour?

Yes, the tour includes skip-the-line access, so you won't wait outside the major sights. You're viewing them from the Segway as you pass, rather than entering buildings or standing in queues.
