Experience the perfect overview of Verona by Segway on a tour that’s far easier than walking and more unique and private than a coach tour. This amazing sightseeing experience is the best way to admire all the beautiful sights of Verona, including Castelvecchio, the Basilica of St Anastasia and Porta Palio.
Numbers are limited to eight people on this small-group tour, ensuring you'll receive personalized attention from your friendly guide.
Never been on a Segway before? No problem! Prior to embarking on your Verona Segway tour, your expert guide will lead you through a 30-minute orientation session, designed to get you accustomed with riding a Segway.
From your meeting point, Porta Palio, glide over the Castelvecchio Bridge to reach the stunning Old Castle, Castelvecchio, a residence of the Della Scala family. The castle’s internal restoration is a marvelous example of contemporary architecture. Stop for a great photo opportunity and learn about the Castelvecchio Civic Museum, an interesting museum inside the castle featuring a remarkable collection of European art.
Pass by the Roman arena, where concerts and operas are performed in the summer. Explore the narrow streets lined with impressive medieval and Renaissance buildings in Verona's historic center, the most beautiful and ancient part of the city, facing south and cradled by a bend of the river. From here, make your way to the magnificent Arena di Verona, the third-largest Roman amphitheater in Italy modeled after the Colosseum in Rome and the amphitheater in Capua.
Your knowledgeable guide will lead you to the Piazza Erbe, which has served for centuries as a meeting place and the home to a market and the city's administration. Next, discover the Porta Bombardiera, built in 1687, which stands in the courtyard of Piazza dei Signori. Cruise to the beautiful Basilica of St Anastasia, perhaps the most important Gothic-style religious monument in Verona, before returning to Porta Palio, where your Segway tour will end.
The itinerary of the trip is great...You will cover nearly all of the important and beautiful sights on this 3 hour tour. We had drizzle which made the trip a bit more tricky. Two of us fell when the segways slipped and skidded going over the small curbs at the main square .No serious njuries...but lots of bruising and sore shoulders.... I highly recommend wearing the helmets as you do go through traffic.._br/_ Our guise told us all of the details but seemed bored and yawned throughout the tour..

Too much fun! My family loved Verona and cutting through the crowds on a Segway was amazing. None of us had ever ridden a Segway before but after 10 minutes of training, we were ready to roll! We were able to see so much of Verona in 2 hours. Kids had a blast!

This was an excellent tour. Our tour guide was Stefano who was very informative and interesting. He spoke very good English and was friendly and fun to be with. Umberto was in charge of the Segways and he was very good on training and safety. The equipment was of a very high standard. This was the most wonderful way to see Verona - we saw much more than we would have done had we done this ourselves and we learned much more about the city. We would highly recommend this tour which we found excellent and we had a fun morning visiting this lovely city.
