Benidorm: Authentic Segway Machine Tour

Imagine gliding effortlessly along Benidorm’s lively promenades, winding through parks, and past historic landmarks—all on a fun, intuitive Segway. For $51 per person, you get a two-hour adventure that covers many of the city’s most iconic sights with a knowledgeable guide by your side. Starting from the Costa Blanca Tour services, this tour combines culture, nature, and a dash of adrenaline in a way that’s accessible even for first-timers.

Two things we truly love about this experience: the ease of riding the Segway, which makes covering a broad area without tiring out a group, and the detailed commentary from guides, who not only ensure safety but bring the city’s stories to life. You’ll see the City Hall, the bullring, and even the old fishing town areas while enjoying the breeze and sunshine. The second highlight is the scenic routes—some with breathtaking sea views—that make each stop a photo-op.

A minor consideration is that this tour requires participants to be above 38 kg and under 130 kg, with children under 15 needing a family member’s supervision. Also, since it’s a small group tour, the number of participants is limited to nine, which helps ensure a more personalized experience but requires early booking if you’re traveling in peak season.

This tour suits travelers who enjoy outdoor activities, are curious about local sights, and want an active, yet relaxed way to explore Benidorm. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or in a small group, it’s an engaging way to see the city from a fresh perspective.

Experience in Detail

The Benidorm Segway tour begins at the Costa Blanca Tour services, conveniently located in the Flamingo Oasis Hotel car park. The first part involves a brief safety and operation training—just about 15 minutes—that prepares even complete novices to confidently handle a Segway.

One such stop is the City Hall, where guides point out its architectural features and share snippets of local governance. The tour also passes the bullring, which holds cultural significance and once hosted lively festival events.

A highlight for many is the photo stop in the old fishing town area, where narrow streets and traditional buildings evoke a sense of the past. The guides’ commentary makes these stops even more engaging as they share stories and historical context. Plus, you’ll get to see the famous Benidorm castle ruins from a distance—a reminder of the city’s maritime roots.
