Overall rating

4.9 / 5

based on 402 reviews

The segways were well maintained and worked beautifully. The individual training gave us confidence for the ride. The guide was knowledgeable and informative. We stopped often to look at special places for more in depth history. Very pleasant and just the right amount of time.

3 hours. :) Very varied and well adapted to our driving skills. In between, not everything was always perfectly understandable (technology). We would have liked some more historical information. But all in all, absolutely recommendable!

It was an excellent experience. Our tour guide(Wolfgang) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful Thru out the tour. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Well organised, friendly guide and interesting spots and routes.

I can only recommend it to everyone, it was great!!!
