Segways through Chania - The tour took us through some areas of old Chania that we had not seen before. The headphones were very helpful in hearing information and getting instructions from our tour guide. Segways are super easy to ride and lots of fun!

Great way to explore the city - Went on the tour with my husband as part of our honeymoon . We dropped by the office to book and the lady was super helpful, explained all the tours in detail to help us make our selection. We booked the Splantzia tour and it was a fantastic way to explore the city. I was a bit nervous at the beginning as I had never been on a segway before and I don't cycle but the guide showed me how to use it and we practiced a few times outside the office and it was really easy to learn. I loved the segway and the tour was a lot of fun and informative. My favourite part was zooming down the narrow, authentic, local Greek streets that we never would have found on our own. There are lots of opportunities for photos on the tour and we received an email soon after with them all. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the city.
