Barcelona Segway Tour

Barcelona Segway Tour: Explore the city in a different way!

What is Barcelona Segway Tour?

Barcelona Segway Tour is a company that organizes Segway Tours through the city of Barcelona. Get on your wheels and come with us to know the coolest less-known corners of this beautiful Mediterranean city.

What is Segway?

The Segway Personal Transporter (Segway PT - Personal Transporter) is a lightweight two-wheeled transport vehicle with computer-controlled self-balancing. It was invented by the American inventor Dean Kamen and is produced by the company Segway Inc. The Segway is the first self-balancing transport device in which the user should lean towards the direction he wants to take (front, back, right or left). The engine is electric and quiet, reaching 20 km/h (15 km/h in the P-series).

How does it work?

The Segway PT intuitively balances in the same way that humans do - moving forward and backward, responding to changes in their body posture. There is no accelerator or brakes. Lean forward and move forward. Get straight and stand up. Lean back and move backwards. To rotate, turn the lean steer in any direction. The driving is natural and intuitive.

What are the advantages of Segway over other means of transportation?

Sightseeing: A touristic route on a Segway is a different experience. Thanks to its electric motor you set the speed intuitively all the time, accelerating or stopping. The movement will allow you to appreciate things from all the different points of view you choose. Because the Segway allows you to move quickly from A to B, you will see many of the main landmarks and views of Barcelona in just one session.

Energy: A touristic tour can be a very exhausting activity. It requires walking, carrying backpacks and constantly moving from one place to another. Usually, you see the first monument with great enthusiasm while in the third or the fourth you are tired and not having that good time anymore. That's why being able to visit all the important monuments while keeping your energy is such a great advantage.

Independence: With a Segway you can move quickly around the city centre on bike lanes, public parks and many other spots. The Segway allows you to move on two wheels automatically without having to worry about parking a car, motorcycle or paying a taxi.

Distances: In a Segway Tour everything is close. You don't have to worry about the distance, the time or energy when planning your route. The Segway is an efficient way to visit the city, see everything important in a record time and having a good time from beginning to end.

Traffic: Segway contributes to reduce traffic congestion in the city, as the Segway does not circulate along the road. Also the Segway users don't have to worry about parking spaces, tickets or traffic jams.

Environment: The Segway works with electricity so it is an eco-friendly alternative to buses or cars. Choosing a Segway over gasoline vehicles like cars or buses can be a significant energy saver and reduce the impact on the environment.

Weather: Barcelona is sunny most of the year, which means that during some hours of the day it gets really hot. But with a Segway you can avoid that inconvenience and roll everywhere without even breaking a sweat.

Pictures: The pace of the visit, the independence of our mean of transportation and the reduced groups allows you to stop and take all the pictures you want. Especially since we can move away from some of the more crowded places and find the perfect angle for your picture.

Local guides: A local guide on a Segway is more efficient than a regular guide. While on the Segway, the guide makes sure that everyone is following at the same pace, everyone is going in the same direction and, especially, everyone is having a good time. He will show you all the tricks to really enjoy your Segway experience.
