The experience

How do you cover Valencia's most beautiful spaces without walking the whole way? You start at the shop with a quick training session to get comfortable on the Segway, put on a helmet, and then ride out to the city's most emblematic squares. The Plaza de la Virgen and Plaza de la Reina anchor the historic center, and from there the route opens into the Jardín del Turia: a 136-hectare park built in the old riverbed that cuts through the city. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or French and knows the stories locals don't usually tell.

The Miguelete, the Cathedral's bell tower, rises 50.85 meters in Valencian Gothic style and marks one of the route's key stops. The guide keeps the pace steady and the group stays under seven people, so there's room to ask questions and take in the surroundings. The most comfortable stretch of the ride happens in the Turia Gardens themselves, where you have time to get a feel for the Segway and enjoy the space at leisure.

You'll need to weigh at least 35 kg to ride, and the tour runs rain or shine, raincoats are available. Civil liability insurance is included as part of the activity. At the end, you receive a small souvenir that's typical of Valencia to take home.

Is this one for you?An hour is short enough to fit the Turia Gardens and the city's main plazas into a morning or afternoon without eating up your whole day, but long enough to ride at a comfortable pace and actually learn the stories behind the stops.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and French.

What is the Turia Riverbed Gardens like as a place to ride a Segway?

The Jardín del Turia is a 136-hectare public park built in the old bed of the Turia river, making it a long, flat, and open space designed for exactly this kind of riding. It's the most comfortable stretch of the tour and gives you room to practice and enjoy the Segway at your own pace.

How much time do I spend actually riding versus training?

The tour runs about an hour total. You spend the first part at the shop learning to drive the Segway safely, then ride through the city and gardens for the rest of the time. The training is short enough that you'll be ready to go quickly.

What are the Miguelete and the plazas we pass?

The Miguelete is the bell tower of Valencia's Cathedral, built between 1381 and 1424 in Valencian Gothic style, and stands 50.85 meters high. The Plaza de la Virgen and Plaza de la Reina are two of the city's most beautiful and busy squares, and both are stops on the route.

Do I need any experience to ride a Segway?

No. The tour includes a training session at the shop before you leave, and your guide stays with you the whole time. The route is suitable for all fitness levels, and the guide makes sure everyone has the skills they need before the tour starts.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The tour runs in rain or shine. Raincoats are available for customers, so you can ride comfortably even if it rains.
