The experience

You start with individual training from a Segway PT trainer before the route begins, so you learn the controls at your own pace and only move forward when you're ready. Once you're comfortable, the guide leads your group through the Gothic Quarter (a maze of medieval streets and Roman-era buildings packed into Barcelona's old city center), then down to Port Vell, the oldest working port in the city with over 2,000 years of history. The Segway carries you past the Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy and a surrealist sculpture by Roy Lichtenstein before you reach Port Olímpic, the waterfront district built for the 1992 Olympics.

The route ends at Ciutadella Park, Barcelona's largest and oldest park, where you'll have time to see the grounds before the tour wraps. The whole ride takes 90 minutes, which means you cover ground that would take hours on foot without the stops and backtracking. A helmet, insurance and the Segway itself are all included. You just need comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing since the tour runs regardless of conditions.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French and Russian.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (10 to 13 years). Children under 10 can't be included in the booking.

What is the Gothic Quarter like when you ride through it on a Segway?

The Gothic Quarter is Barcelona's medieval core, a tangle of narrow streets lined with buildings from Roman times through the 20th century. On a Segway you move through it slowly enough to see the details (stone facades, archways, plazas) without the fatigue of walking the uneven cobblestones for hours.

How long is the training before the tour starts?

The Segway PT trainer works with each person individually until they're confident on the machine. There's no fixed time limit: training continues as long as you need it before the group departs.

What is Port Vell and why does it matter in Barcelona?

Port Vell is the oldest part of Barcelona's harbor, with more than 2,000 years of history. It's where the city's maritime trade began and remains a working port today, so riding past it connects you to the reason Barcelona became a major Mediterranean city.

Is this tour private or shared with other groups?

The tour is shared but small: maximum 6 riders per guide. A private tour option is also available if you prefer to book exclusively for your group.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The tour operates in all weather conditions, so rain or sun won't cancel it. Dress appropriately for the forecast and wear comfortable shoes that grip the Segway platform.
