About this activity

Meet your friendly guide at your chosen time – 10am, 12pm or 4pm – and start with an orientation session to get familiar with your two-wheeled, electric, self-balancing Segway. Once you feel comfortable, you’ll weave through tree-lined streets close to the Acropolis of Athens, following your guide into the heart of the city.

Glide past Hadrian’s Arch, the monumental gateway that once separated the old and new part of the city, and hear about the Emperor Hadrian who ruled Athens during the 2nd century AD. After stopping to take photos and listen to tales about this historic area, set off for your next stop.

See the Temple of Zeus, the largest monument of Ancient Greece, and pass through Zappeion Garden – a wonderfully serene extension of the National Garden of Athens. Stop to look at the Old Parliament House on Stadiou Street and swing past the Presidential Mansion, admiring its majestic white façade.

Your 2-hour tour finishes with a look at Panathinaikos – the city stadium -- where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1895. Also known as Kalimarmaro Stadium, this vast site has a seating capacity of 60,000 and is one of Athens’ true modern-day highlights.

After exploring all the city sights with your guide, glide back to the start point where your tour ends.

They were really helpful and patient for first time riders. Great experience and highly recommend doing the first day you are in Athens. Quick way to see a lot of sites and get your bearings.

No one told us the tour starts at the Segway store. A really nice Greek lady called the # provided and walked us to the location. Once we arrived the group had left. Fabio who was about to get off work volenteered to take us on a private tour. We had so much fun seeing Athens by Segway.Thanks Fabio

Fantastic time. This was the first time we have ever done the Segways. At the start, they teach you how to use them, I must admit, I didn't think my wife was going to be able to do it, but the instructor / tour guide took her out one more time and the we were on our way, by the end of the tour, my wife wanted to buy one. It was so good, cruising around Athens, going to the markets, past the Acropolis, in the park and many more places. We are now planing to do this everywhere we travel, have a go.

1st ever try at a Segway tour, and to say we were pleased is an understatement. The guide was informative, the learning curve for a Segway very simple and the family enjoyed. As we were in Athens for only 8hrs, this was a great way to see the sites and not over heat, it was 39 Deg. Great time by all, would recommend. thank you Paul, Julie and Charlotte
