About this tour
Glide through Lyon's compact centre on a Segway, learning to balance and steer whilst your guide navigates you between the Rhône and the city's core neighbourhoods. This one-hour outing hits the essential landmarks at an unhurried pace, making it ideal for those wanting to cover ground without walking feet raw. You'll get fitted with helmet and gear, and the route suits most fitness levels—just bring flat shoes and a willingness to look slightly ridiculous at first.

What to expect
You'll spend the first 10–15 minutes getting comfortable on the Segway in a safe space, with your guide walking you through balance and controls. Once confident, you'll set off on a set route that weaves between the river and city centre, stopping briefly at key spots whilst your guide points out history and landmarks. It's leisurely rather than adrenaline-fuelled; expect fellow riders and the occasional bemused pedestrian. The hour moves quickly, and you'll finish back where you started.
