The Experience

You start with training on the Segway at the office, learning balance and steering before the group heads out. Once you're steady, the ride takes you through the Turia Riverbed Gardens—one of Spain's largest urban parks, with tropical trees, Roman ruins and the Gulliver Park visible as you glide past. The guide narrates as you move, pointing out the Serranos Towers, one of Valencia's original 12 city gates, then leads you into the City of Arts and Sciences itself.

The complex unfolds as you ride: the Hemisferic, the Museum of Science of Prince Felipe, the Umbracle, the Palace of Arts, the Agora and the Oceanografic. Standing on the Segway means you cover ground faster than walking and see more of the architecture from different angles as you move through the grounds. The guide is entertaining and informative, and you can ask them to adjust the route for your group's interests. Two hours total gives you time to ride, stop for photos and video (the guide can shoot with a professional camera), and still return to the office without rushing.

Helmets and raincoats are provided. You can leave luggage at the office before you ride. The tour runs in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and several other languages depending on availability. A minimum of two people must book together, and riders need to weigh between 25 and 130 kg to participate safely.
