About this tour
When Charlie from our team tried this private Segway tour, we cruised Copenhagen's car-free zones on the newest machines—covering major sights like The Little Mermaid, Nyhavn, and Christiansborg in just over two hours. As Denmark's only officially authorised operator, they've got the gear dialled in: radio comms mean less stopping, more gliding, and a pre-tour training session gets you confident in the car-free zone first. It's the kind of tour that lets you see the cosy Latin Quarter and hidden pockets of the city without the slog of walking or the tourist-trap feel of a big group.

- Private group setup means your pace, your questions, no jostling crowds
- Cafe break at the Royal Theater adds a local rhythm to the ride
What to expect
You'll turn up 15 minutes early for a proper induction—they'll get you comfortable on the machine in a safe, car-free starting zone before you head into the real tour. From there, it's steady cruising through Copenhagen's highlights with your guide feeding you stories and context via radio headset, so you're not constantly stopping to listen. The rhythm feels less like a typical guided tour and more like a mate showing you around, just faster and on wheels.
Expect smooth, flat paths through parks and pedestrian areas; the Segways handle Copenhagen's well-maintained streets easily. Your guide will point out major sights—The Little Mermaid, the colourful Nyhavn waterfront, the royal palaces—but also duck into less-visited spots and quieter neighbourhoods. A cafe stop halfway through lets you rest and grab something to eat (at your own expense), though the organic drink and biscuits are covered. The whole thing feels manageable even if you've never ridden before; the training and the pace take care of that.
Good to know
Private tours mean no fighting for the guide's attention or waiting for slower riders. Segways let you cover way more ground than walking, so you see both the obvious sights and the neighbourhoods locals actually hang out in. The radio system keeps the energy moving—you're not standing around listening to speeches. Organic refreshments and a souvenir are baked in, so no surprise costs there. It's smooth, flat terrain and genuinely fun if you've got any sense of balance.
You need to stand the whole time and hop on and off the machine easily—if you've got spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns, this isn't for you. Weight range is 35–125 kg; minimum height 135 cm; minimum age 12. The cafe stop is your own tab. Weather in Copenhagen can be drizzly; dress accordingly. Crowds cluster around major sights like The Little Mermaid, so don't expect solitude there.
