This is a great way to see Genoa and it was fun too. Getting onto the Segway was a bit daunting at first but after a few minutes we got the hand of it. The guides were great and the tour provide interesting information about the city. We highly recommend this tour - do it at the start of your visits as it give you a good base for exc-lording the city.
Good fun and very informative. Great way to do a guided tour of the city. Our guide, Matt gave us a quick lesson on using a Segway and made sure we were safe to be let loose on the streets of Genoa.
Matt was our guide and he was amazing! Very friendly and encouraging! I was a bit nervous about driving around on a segway but Matt made sure we all knew what we were doing and we had a few minutes to practice before we were on our way navigating through pedestrian traffic! We all had to wear helmets too. Matt took the lead as we zipped up the mountain. He had a bell on his Segway and he warned people we were coming and had a smile for everyone we passed. He gave us the history of Genoa and how it grew as we made our way up. We could tell he loved his city and was proud of it! We would do it again, only bad thing is it had to end! One last thing we weren't sure on where to find it but it's right on the pier by the playground!
Guide made it fun not like a history lecture but as it should be, taking us back and in that moment. 10/10 recommend.
We had no segway experience but thoroughly enjoyed learning and the tour of some hidden Genoa sights. Matt was an excellent guide. We were smiling all the time. Not to be missed
