About City Segway Tours
If you want a fun way to get around Paris, then riding a Segway is a good way of seeing the tourist attractions in a small group approximately 8 people complete with a dedicated English speaking guide.
And even if you have never been on a segway before, do not fear or worry, as you get an initiation prior to even going out onto the streets, and they are suitable for teenagers right through to pensioners.
The Segway tours in Paris are a duration of around two hours accompanied by your guide who will provide history and up to date facts about the different Paris monuments, tourist attractions, museums, bridges and gardens that you will discover, plus there are plenty of times for those all important photo opportunities.
This tour starts at their office in the 15th Arrondissement and takes you to numerous famous tourist attractions in Paris including the Eiffel Tower constructed for the 1889 Word Fair in Paris, Les Invalides, which is home to the Tomb of Napoleon, and the Musee d’Orsay that takes over from where The Louvre finishes, located in a former railway station along the bank of the River Seine.
Yet you can also discover many more beautiful and impressive sites like the ornate Pont Alexandre III bridge that takes you over to the Petit Palais and the Grand Palais that were all constructed for a Paris World Fair, in addition to getting to see the Champ de Mars Gardens the former drill ground of the Ecole Militaire military academy, and many other landmarks in Paris.

A safety helmet is provided for each person, which has to be worn and when you arrive you do need to fill out documentation for insurance purposes, however, we would like to point out that a deposit guarantee is required either by cash or by credit card, just in case of any damage that you cause to a segway, but obviously no money is taken or the cash is given back to you upon your return providing everything is all OK.
Obviously, safety is of paramount importance and hence why you get an orientation instruction and practise session prior to even starting the Paris City Segway Tour, and anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
And although the normal tours are operated in English, you can book private tours just for friends and family, and in this instance some other languages can also be accommodated, yet you do have to book well in advance.
Also, due to the fact that you will only be in a small group of normally around 8 people, all Segway Tours do have to be booked in advance, which can be done online or via telephone, but these can be cancelled up to 72 hours prior for a full refund.
