About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Amlbos0 contributionsExecellent way to explore the cityThis is a fantastic way to see the city. The view over the harbour was stunning. You get to explore small winding traditional streets as well as the main attractions. Our guide made sure all were comfortable and confident on the segwayd before we headed off.Written 30 July 2024
- robertpX781EY0 contributionsBeautiful little historic townThe hotel was small but clean and very well located. The town was great and very easy to walk around all the sites. Beautiful little town with lots of history. I didn't realize the easter week would have such large local crowds.Written 11 May 2024
- PeterFosterKC0 contributionsDiscovering Chania in Segway StyleWe were a family of 4, including 2 young children who were new to a Segway. After a concise but comprehensive briefing and test ride, our friendly and knowledgeable guide Manolis threaded us through the city's narrow streets and alleyways accompanied by a closed circuit audio guide to Chanian history and folklore. A safe and thoroughly enjoyable way to discover this beautiful town.Written 2 August 2023
- suzannesR5073BT0 contributionsEasy to ride and insightful experienceMyself and my adult daughter chose to do this as a way to learn about The Oldtown in a fun way- and it lived up to our expectations! Our guide Betty was lovely and very helpful in teaching us to ride and control the the Segway. Once underway, she gave us many opportunities to stop at interesting points around the town and take pictures. She also took several of us together which will be emailed to us later ( no charge), so it will be lovely to have some of both of us. The Segway was lots of fun and there was many things we got to see in the 90 mins that we may not have had time to otherwise. Would do this again - so much fun!Written 15 October 2022
- Rum_coolers0 contributionsGreat fun on our Segway tourWe had a great time riding through the narrow streets, round the harbour and down to the seafront. We all had a decent amount of tuition before heading off and felt safe and looked out for along the route. The audio guide was an added bonus which gave us more of an insight into the town.Written 12 October 2022
- DeeDeeSantaAna0 contributionsSegways through ChaniaThe 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!Written 23 September 2022
- eva20184790 contributionsChania Segway TourAthena was an excellent guide and was very patient with us. Would highly recommend this tour to visitors to Chania.Written 14 September 2022
- Sightsee536783452710 contributionsGood visit, bad audioguideGood visit, interesting tour around the old city. The audioguide was aviable in French but a bit difficult to hear with the wind and we were happy to have the real guide to give us explanationsWritten 23 May 2022
- FrommerGroupie0 contributionsSuper Segway TourSince visiting Epcot about 20 years ago, have wanted to Segway. This was so much better than my dream in many ways. First, I was instructed by the most beautiful, knowledgeable, skilled, patient, & kindest Segway expert until I was comfortable & she was satisfied with my maneuverability. Then, she did the same for my husband. Next, we explored the enchanting streets, neighborhoods & noteworthy sites of Crete, as she kept a constant, observational eye on us for safety & gave us the best of tips to make our rides more comfortable and enjoyable. She took photos of us to send later via email to have a permanent record of a day full of precious memories. And it was a wonderful day because of this not to be missed tour. It could not have been better.Written 7 May 2022
- josiek20220 contributionsA must have experience!This was the most amazing experience. Thank you to our tour guide Jamie, she was amazing and very nice! She gave us a quick tutorial on how to work the segways and provided water and a few short breaks so we could really enjoy the views! An amazing insite into Chania and it’s history! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting. She also took pictures for usWritten 4 May 2022
- Michael M0 contributionsGreat tour especially with older childrenWe really enjoyed this tour. The tour guide was very welcoming and made it fun. It can be hard to find activities for teenagers but this is definitely worth it. A good way to see a lot in a few hours.Written 19 April 2022
- Felixamber0 contributionsGreat way to explore the cityWent 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.Written 5 October 2021
- Zalobeidi0 contributionsNice diversionThis was a great experience. Our guide was very friendly and helpful. We saw many features of Chania during the tour and took some nice photos. Only issue was that it was less than the 75 minutes advertised, but still very enjoyable.Written 29 August 2021
- KarenAa330 contributionsGreat way to explore ChaniaWe really had a great tour with Chris who knew all the secret spots as a true local. He was very friendly and also helped with other local tips. We would never have found all the narrow beautiful streets on our own and it was so fun on the Segway!Written 9 October 2020
- MBS1430 contributionsThat was fun!I definitely recommend taking this tour. It's a great way to get to know the old city and the harbor.Written 18 September 2020

The Chania Segway Tour is the best way to get a feel for the awesome city of Chania. My wife and I went on the Old Town & Surrounds back to back tours. This introduced us to the beautiful alleys and architecture of the port and old town as well as exploring outside the walls along both coasts. Neither of us had been on a Segway before - but that did not slow us down at all. Our guide Sam, gave us a lesson prior to the tour and we were off - safely and competently. The tour introduces you to the most picturesque back-alleys and buildings - I would definitely recommend tracking your trip with your phone so you can get back to the awesome locations. Sam was awesome - informative and genuinely loved his work. The pre-recorded attraction spiels were also informative. All in all it is a fun & practical way to explore the beautiful city and surrounds.

A thouroughly enjoyable experience. Our guide Betty was excellent. She was very professional, making sure we were safe at all times and showed us some amazing back street routes that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. It was good fun. Highly recommend it.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two hour tour this morning, great instruction for ten minutes from Chris, and the Segway was easy to handle.
This is a really good acclimatisation tour, we are on day four and should have done this earlier to give us the layout of the area.
It’s a must if you are in Chania for a few days, the Segways are easy to use and the audio guide on route gives you all the history of the town. You can visit all the sights and build a short list for visiting afterwards
Well worth the money!!

Our family has taken Segway tours in several cities and always enjoyed them. Chania is perfect for these tours because there is a lot to see, the city is a bit spread out, and the narrow alleys are fun to zig zag through. Panos gave us a great tour (the 2 hour one), and he used a wireless headset so he could explain things as we drove....and he had recorded explanations of key historic sites which really helped. AND this tour takes pictures for you and then emails them free of charge.

This is the second city I have toured on a Segway and I plan to seek out this option on every future trip. You move around so much faster without being stuck in a bus. You can also see things closer up. This company had a nice pre-recorded description of the sites (you wear headphones). Our tour guide had some additions, made sure we had fun, and took pictures for us.

We had a wonderful time on our Segway tour. We were able to see so much of the city using the segways. Our guide, Betty, was wonderful. Very helpful making sure everyone was doing well and were comfortable. Provided lots of information and also pointed out some nice options for lunch during the tour which I had asked her about providing some recommendations. Great time. Well worth it!

Are children ages 12 and 11 permitted to drive the segway on their own as long as the parents take the tour also? Or do they have to share a segway?
