Why Choose This Segway Tour? An Honest Breakdown

When we first considered this ride, the idea of zipping around Kraków on a powerful, eco-friendly scooter immediately appealed. The price point of $20 per person for a full or half-day rental offers serious value, especially given the quality of the equipment and the convenience of simple pickup in the heart of the city.

The Segway G30 MAX and G2 MAX are built for longer rides, with long-range batteries that allow you to cover more ground without constant recharging. Unlike many app-based scooters, these models are maintained to high standards and include accessories like a phone holder and U-lock, making your exploration safer and more comfortable. We loved the way the digital guide helped us plan routes through the Old Town, along the Vistula, and even further afield to Podgórze and Kociuszko Mound—offering options for everyone’s pace and interests.

One feature that stood out is the inclusion of a small surprise gift at the start, adding a cheerful touch to your day. The brief training session ensures you’re comfortable before hitting the streets, which is especially helpful if you’re new to Segways.

However, a consideration is that this activity isn’t suitable for very young children or pregnant women, and those with mobility impairments should seek alternative options. Also, since it involves a scooter, it’s best if you’re comfortable riding and balancing on two wheels.

For anyone who enjoys a self-guided, outdoor adventure with the flexibility to stop and explore freely, this tour offers an excellent way to see Kraków quickly and comfortably. It’s particularly perfect for solo travelers, friends, or couples who want a fun, active way to learn about the city without the constraints of a traditional tour.
