“We had a good time. The segways are a fun way to get around and see many things . The tout guide showed us nice placed for pictures and answered all our questions. I would have been nice if all the seaways had a bag so you can store your own water. I think a hearing device would have been good to have. When we made quick stops on the segway, not everyone can hear the tour guide. It's hard for all 8 of us to get close while still on the segway.”

“This was a fun first tour of Athens. Very quick overview of all the sights to see and going via Segway was a lot of fun. My kids (16 and 14) picked it up really easily and enjoyed the tour. Only wish the tour guide did a better job of making sure the whole group was behind him. We went with another group that insisted on going first and sped up behind the guide - which caused him to go faster - but he also never turned around to see if everyone else was keeping up. As much as we tried to keep up, people walking in the tight streets…”
