Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the sites and the route he picked for us interesting and varied. We would 100% book the tour again and do highly recommend it for others.”

Thanks to the great patience of Nick and Giannis ... but really easy to use once you get confident with the Segway. Nick showed us the old town of Rethymo with a great sense of humor and his favorite golden spots. Ideal to take pictures, especially during sunsets. We explored several historical sites as well as the little streets of the old town with recommendations for eating and several shops.where you can buy local stuff. We…”

“Quality of Segway equipment was top notch as was our guide. Partway thru the the tour we stopped for a refreshment and treat that was wonderful. What was NOT wonderful during conversation at stop, the person next to me said she was not vaccinated which was very concerning to me. Stop should not take place if vaccination status is not enforced. The last part of tour is thru a VERY crowded pedestrian area that should be avoided.”

“The sights are beautiful and it was SUPER fun to ride the segways in such an incredibly beautiful city, but....it would have been a great tour if we had understood our tour guide. She was a lovely girl but her accent was incredibly thick and her voice was so soft that we pretty much missed the entire story of all the sites that we visited :(”
