Valencia: Private Segway Tour City of Arts, Turia & Beach

Summary

Segway ride past Turia Gardens to the sea with city stories

You’ll ride a Segway through Valencia’s lush Turia Gardens, pause at Serranos Towers for stories from your local guide, then glide past futuristic architecture at the City of Arts and Sciences before finishing by the sea. Expect laughter, photo stops, and that feeling when you realize you’re seeing a city from inside its own rhythm.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was how quiet the Segway felt rolling under the palm trees in Turia Riverbed Gardens. Our guide, Marta, handed out helmets and made us laugh about “Segway hair” before we even got started. I was nervous at first (my balance isn’t exactly Olympic), but she gave us a few extra minutes to practice — no rush, just gentle encouragement and a few jokes in Spanish that I only half understood. The air smelled like cut grass and orange blossoms, and honestly, I didn’t expect Valencia to feel so green right in the middle of the city.

We zipped past Serranos Towers — Marta pointed up at the old stone and told us about the twelve original gates (I tried to count them in my head, got distracted by a dog in a basket). The route curved through wide paths where locals jogged or just sat chatting on benches. At one point we stopped for photos by some wild Roman ruins poking out between playgrounds and fountains. I still think about that contrast — ancient stones and kids playing tag nearby.

The real surprise for me was rolling up to the City of Arts and Sciences. Those white curves against the blue sky looked almost unreal. Marta explained how it’s become this symbol for modern Valencia; she even showed us her favorite angle for photos (she called it “the Instagram spot,” which made everyone groan). We kept going all the way to the Sea Port, where you could smell salt and fried fish from open restaurant doors. The Mediterranean light was softer there — people walking dogs along Malvarrosa Beach, fishermen yelling greetings across the sand. I almost forgot we were on a tour at all — it felt more like drifting through someone else’s daily life.
