Duration: 4 Hours (approximately)
The Segway tour is the perfect tour for both those new to the city and Parisian veterans. For the beginners, this tour will offer you a fantastic orientation and give you an opportunity to see virtually all of the sites you´ve read about. For the veterans, we´re positive you´ll learn new facts and stories about Paris that you´ve never heard. And we´re sure you´ll both agree that riding a Segway is the best way to see the ´City of Light´.

Important Notes
Each of our tours begins with a 30-minute orientation session in the plaza and park next to our office. We will practice on the Segways so that everyone feels comfortable and ready to go out and conquer Paris. The Segway is appropriate for virtually anyone 12 and older. Minors under the age of 18 must either be accompanied by an adult or have an adult complete our insurance paperwork in advance of the tour. Unfortunately, anyone under the age of 12 and pregnant women will not be permitted to participate. Additionally, City Segway Tours has a strict policy against alcohol consumption and Segway operation. Alcohol is forbidden on all Segway tours and any client suspected of drinking before or during a Segway tour will immediately forfeit their tour and no refund will be given.
Meeting Point
The South Leg of the Eiffel Tower
Both the Day Tour and Night Tour meet at the south leg (”pilier sud”) of the Eiffel Tower. Look for our large Fat Tire sign at the meeting point.
