Valencia: Grand City Private Segway Tour

Valencia: Grand City Private Segway Tour — a fantastic way to see Valencia’s highlights in a fun, efficient, and eco-friendly manner. For $170 per group (up to 2 people), you’ll spend about two and a half hours weaving through some of the city’s most iconic sights on a personal Segway. Your journey begins with a training session, so don’t worry if you’re new to riding — it’s easy to pick up. Then, you’ll glide through Turia Park, visit the City of Arts and Sciences, and finish at the bustling Valencia Seaport with its gorgeous beaches and lively docks.

What makes this tour stand out are two things we really appreciate: the chance to see Valencia’s modern architecture and historic charm in one go and the personalization offered by the private group setting. The flexibility to choose your start time and extend the tour if desired also adds great value. On the downside, since it’s a relatively long tour with so much ground covered, it requires a bit of stamina and comfort with riding a Segway — so it might not suit everyone, especially very young children or pregnant travelers.

This tour is best suited for travelers who want a rundown of Valencia without wasting precious time walking or hopping from site to site by bus. It’s perfect for those who enjoy a bit of adventure, want to learn about the city from a knowledgeable guide, and appreciate having some personal space to explore at their own pace.

Detailed Review: Why We Love This Segway Tour in Valencia

The Itinerary: A Mix of Nature, Science, and Shorelines

Beginning in Turia Park, we appreciated how the vast green space, once a riverbed, now offers a scenic ride lined with eighteen bridges, each with its own story. Riding through this park makes you feel connected to Valencia’s history and its natural beauty. The wide footpaths, gardens, sports areas, and spots for quiet reflection make for a relaxed start.

After about half an hour, you arrive at the City of Arts and Sciences — a modern architectural marvel. The complex’s futuristic buildings, designed to evoke themes of science and innovation, are as photogenic as they are interesting. Spending an hour here gives you time to appreciate its bold design and even snap some photos with your guide’s camera, as reviews highlight. One traveler noted, “Santiago was an incredible guide. He was so fun and had a lot knowledge of Valencia. I highly recommend for anyone visiting Valencia!”

From the science hub, the tour proceeds to the Valencia Seaport, an area that marries maritime history with beachside leisure. Passing by the La Malvarrosa, Las Arenas, and El Cabañal beaches, you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Mediterranean coast. The route also skirts the Veles e Vents building and La Marina Real Juan Carlos I, places that are as much about modern development as about enjoying the sea breeze.

Guides and Personal Touch

Guides like Santiago and David receive high praise in reviews for their knowledgeable, friendly, and patient manner. One reviewer shared, “David was amazing and it was one of the most fun things ever,” which encapsulates the generally positive vibe of this experience. Their local insights add depth to your sightseeing, making even busy spots more meaningful.

The Riding Experience: Safe, Fun, and Convenient

The tour includes extra time for training, which makes it accessible even for beginners. Helmets and raincoats are provided, so you feel secure and prepared for various weather conditions. The small group size means personal attention, and the opportunity to leave luggage adds convenience, especially if you’re arriving from a cruise or day trip.

The 2.5-hour duration strikes a good balance — it’s long enough to cover much of the city without feeling rushed. The ride along wide paths and smooth surfaces makes for a comfortable experience, but there’s a need for some physical stamina. As one reviewer pointed out, “Our tour was 2.5 hours & would have done a longer tour if we had been able as there is a ton to see.”
