The Experience

The tour starts at Arc de Triomf and moves into Parc de la Ciutadella, where you'll cover ground on the Segway that would take an hour on foot. The guide leads you past the Barcelona Zoo, then down toward La Barceloneta and the waterfront landmarks—Frank Gehry's golden fish sculpture, the PRBB building, Hotel Arts—before reaching Nova Icaria Beach and the Olympic port's parks and plazas. The whole route takes 90 minutes, and because you're gliding instead of walking, you see more of the city's layout and how the neighborhoods connect.

A local guide in your chosen language handles the route and points out what you're passing; they also manage the group pace so nobody gets left behind. The Segway itself does most of the work once you're balanced on it—the learning curve is short, and the tour is suitable for all fitness levels. You'll wear a helmet throughout, and insurance is included in the price.

The tour works best if you can step onto and off the Segway the way you'd climb or descend stairs, and if you weigh between roughly 45 and 120 kg. If you've had recent surgery or are pregnant, the operator doesn't recommend it. Public transit stops are nearby if you need to get to the meeting point.

What’s included

• A local guide leading the route in your chosen language.
• helmet and insurance for the full 90 minutes.
• access to the Segway itself, which handles the propulsion once you're balanced on it.
