About this tour
Glide through Ravenna's medieval centre on a Segway, hitting the city's architectural jewels in three hours alongside a local guide who knows the stories behind each plaza and monument. This small-group tour (max eight riders) covers the formidable Rocca Brancaleone fortress, the intricate mosaics of San Vitale basilica, Galla Placidia's mausoleum, and a string of historic piazzas and baptisteries. No fitness barrier—the machines do the work, leaving you free to absorb centuries of Byzantine and Roman history.

What to expect
After a half-hour orientation on flat ground, you'll mount your Segway and follow your guide through Ravenna's compact old town at a leisurely pace. Expect frequent stops at each landmark—the guide will walk you through the history of the Rocca, explain the religious significance of the baptisteries, and point out architectural details in the basilicas. The Segway handles cobblestones and gentle slopes; you'll cover far more ground than on foot without tiring. Weather won't stop the tour, so waterproofs are essential in winter.
