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!

The tour was fantastic! Violetta was very friendly and knowledgable about the area and took us to some of the most amazing viewpoints in the city. Very much recommended!
