What to expect
You'll arrive 15 minutes early for a safety briefing and hands-on Segway practice before heading out. Your guide leads a steady-paced route hitting the park's signature spots—the botanical gardens, grand monuments, and lakeside areas—with time to absorb the atmosphere at each. The pace is leisurely enough for first-time riders to build confidence. Expect firm legs afterwards and a genuine sense of having covered the whole park rather than just its edges.
