About this tour
Glide through Parma's centre on a Segway, covering the city's architectural highlights in three hours with a local guide. You'll navigate past the Farnese's Pilotta Palace, the acoustic history museum at Casa del Suono, the monastic complex of St. John the Evangelist, and the Teatro Regio, before crossing to the Ducal Garden. Small groups of up to eight mean you get genuine attention, not a cattle-run treatment. The tour runs regardless of weather, and a half-hour training session gets even newcomers confident on the machine.

What to expect
After a 30-minute orientation covering balance and steering, you'll spend three hours rolling through Parma's districts at an easy pace. The route connects major sites—Renaissance palaces, religious buildings, civic squares—without requiring you to walk long stretches between them. Your guide supplies context on what you're seeing: the city's power structures, artistic heritage, and street-level stories. You'll cross the Parma River and finish in green space rather than concrete. Rain won't stop the tour; ponchos are provided.
