Valencia: Turia Park Segway Tour with Private Guide & Photos

Summary

See Turia Gardens by Segway with private guide and photos included

You’ll glide through Valencia’s lush Turia Gardens on a private Segway tour with your own local guide — learning quirky stories, pausing for pro photos, and soaking up the city’s relaxed vibe. Expect easy training, flexible routes, and small surprises along the way. It’s quick but surprisingly memorable.

What’s the experience like?

“Just lean forward, not too much!” our guide grinned, steadying me as I wobbled for the first few meters outside the little office in Valencia. I’d never been on a Segway before — honestly, I was half-convinced I’d end up in the bushes. But after ten minutes of awkward circles and some gentle teasing (Li, our guide, had clearly seen worse), we set off toward the Turia Riverbed Gardens. The air smelled faintly of cut grass and oranges — or maybe that was just my nerves mixing things up.

The park itself is huge — like, you could lose hours here if you’re not careful. We zipped past kids playing football and couples sprawled under palm trees, the sound of cicadas buzzing somewhere overhead. Li pointed out the Palace of Music (I almost missed it because I was too busy trying not to run over a pigeon) and then stopped us by these old stone ruins. He told us about how the river used to flood the city until they turned it into this green ribbon right through Valencia. It’s wild to think about — standing where water once rushed through, now just sunlight filtering through leaves and people laughing nearby.

I didn’t expect to feel so… free? There’s something about gliding along on a Segway that makes you forget you’re technically doing a “tour.” At one point Li handed me his camera (“for proof you survived,” he joked) and snapped a photo while I tried to look cool but probably just looked relieved. The whole thing only took about an hour, but it felt like we squeezed in way more than that — bits of history, random local tips (apparently there’s a giant Gulliver statue for kids to climb on; who knew?), and enough silly moments to make me want to do it again next time.
