My guide was Victor and such a great guide he was. He was patient and thorough in running through the basics of riding the segway. He made the ride feel fun and safe despite the varying terrain of the tour route. I did a 3 hour private in the morning. The vistas were absolutely stunning from Sacromonte, through the olive groves of the parks and up the viewpoints of the parks and mountains. I highly recommend a 3 hour tour as any less time would not be enough to experience it all. Victor also was an amiable companion and very fun to chat with. 10/10!

Simon was our guide and he was absolutely fantastic!!! Can't praise him enough for his patience and also his knowledge of the area. I would say the segway tour with Simon was the highlight of our trip and i would definitely encourage you to do this as you wont regret it. It was so much fun and a great way to see the surrounding areas and hear the history behind it

My guided tour of Sacromonte was very good, spectacular, the guide Javier was enormous in his walk, guiding and informing through stories and legends, very well combined with what was seen during the visit, good luck for having such staff at work
