Tour in Verona on Segway

Aaaucegudge - Jul 29, 2017 07:10 PM EDT
Segway Verona offers tours that make sure you will enjoy a fun and immerse experience of our beloved city. We combine Segway, our innovative way of transportation, with tours in the historical city centre. Through our explorations of 1 or 2 hours, we will bring you to the most breathtaking spots, so that, if you do not stay long in Verona, we make sure that you see all of the unmissable sights! Segway is really easy to use! It is so intuitive that it feels like an extension of the human body. To understand why, consider this: if you stand up and lean forward, so that you are out of balance, you will intuitively put your leg forward. Segway works the same way: to move forward or backward, the rider just leans slightly in such direction, and Segway will follow your movements. It is also easy to turn right or left, since the rider just has to push respectively Segway’s handlebar. Segway is safe. Anyone over the age of 12 can join our tours, except for pregnant women. Apart from these cathegories, we encorage people of every age to try Segway, because this self-balancing object can really make your experience in Verona much more delightful! In fact, if it is hot, you will enjoy some fresh air and avoid to sweat; if it is cold, you will have the possibility of staying outside the least possible time. It is proved that our 2 hours tours show you what you will see in 6 hours walking! All the tours start with a little training on how to use Segway, because for us safety is the priority. However, we experienced that it takes just a little practice to master on Segway! There are no required skills and, in particular, no need to be able to bicycle. There will always be a tour leader with you, guiding the whole group, so that you can enjoy the view and the tour of Verona. Audioguides (available in different languages) will provide the information you need to fully comprehend the history and architecture of our main monuments, squares and buildings. In particular, our 2 hours tour will show you: Piazza Bra, one of the biggest squares in Italy, with the Arena, the famous Roman amphitheatre; we will then take Via Oberdan in order to see Portoni Borsari, one of the ancient entrance of the Roman city; we will firstly explore Piazza Erbe and secondly Piazza Dei Signori, two squares full of symbols and buildings with enchanting beauty, and then see Arche Scaligere. Heading to the Duomo, Verona’s Cathedral, we will pass by Santa Anastasia, next to the Conservatory of music; after that, we will have a break on Ponte Pietra, the bridge with the breathtaking view of the Roman Theatre and San Pietro Castle (and much more). On our way back, we will stop at Juliet’s house, so that you don’t forget to take pictures and write your names on the walls! We will conclude our tour with Castelvecchio, the Scaligeri castle and enjoy its amazing view of Verona. People who went on tours with us really appreciate our flexibility: we do not have fixed tour’s hours, so we can arrange the time that fits the best. Moreover, we try to adjust the path according to your preferences, spending less time on spots you have already seen and dedicate more on your favourite sights. Read what people say about us on tripadvisor... So, if you want to make the most out of your time in Verona, contact us or stop by our office! OFFICE HOURS: Monday to Saturday (only closed on Sunday) from 10 am to 5 pm. DIRECTIONS: We are located in Piazza Cittadella 11b, very close to Piazza Bra, the main square with the Arena. From Piazza Bra you can arrive at our office on foot (3 minutes): pass under the arch of the gateway with the big clock (Portoni della Bra) and walk through Corso Porta Nuova for approximately 100 https://veronasegwaytours.com/

lol, Mike, don't feel bad, - same here, altho my Mum's pram was a twin pram, a monstrous effigy :) and I used to take the twins out in it, - we lived on a steeeep hill, (towards the lower part of it) and have always wondered how my mum trusted me to not let go of the pram, as I was only about 7 or so. I had to actually lean back,pulling on the pram handle, to stop the pram running away on me on the hill, didn't need to push it, - main road at the foot of the hill too, double decker buses going past :) How I got the huge monster back up the hill enroute home, goodness knows. Thanks for the memories and comments :)

hate to say this but i remember this type of pram :( pushed my sisters in one nice reminder of my age x x x

Hi Alandra. We sell lots of mountain buggies here. They are popular because they are lightweight (aluminium frame), made in New Zealand, designed with the active person in mind and also come in a wide variety of colours. The triple ones do get a little harder to jog with though. My, how times have changed. I don't think there were any 3 wheeler buggies around when I had Bianca.

Guest - Mar 11, 2007 10:41 PM EDT
Lorraine, to add a bit more, - know what you mean about those mountain buggies, -- have seen people jogging here with them also. And when at the local Thrift shop recently, here was a Triple mountain buggy! Have seen the double type, but never a triple!

Guest - Mar 11, 2007 10:39 PM EDT
appreciate your nice comments, Lulu and Lorraine, thanks very much. Am sorry I didn't reply to yours sooner, Lulu. Yes, have heard of Pedigree brand prams also, - have seen photos of them in Brit magazines over the years.

Guest - Mar 11, 2007 04:55 PM EDT
I had one of these for my kids, it's hard to believe, great big things, now over here we have mountain buggies, made for all types of ground, even seen them jogging and pushing them.

Hi Alandra. I manage a baby goods store and we have one of these prams in our head office foyer. They are really quite expensive and a couple of our newer stores have been lucky to get one also for display purposes. Pedigree is also a make of pram here (not quite like these though).

Guest - Sep 24, 2006 02:04 AM EDT
thanks Don, it is a strange word, I agree. They are pretty neat prams, very good to wheel around, with those large wheels and springs.

Guest - Sep 23, 2006 09:20 PM EDT
That has to be the nicest looking Perambulator I've ever seen :-). Interesting, it does look like a high quality one and in very good shape. Neat capture, Don

Guest - Sep 23, 2006 08:52 PM EDT
thanks Golda, glad you like it, and nice that at least one person found the trivia useful lol. My Mum had a twin pram like this for my brother & sister, and she used to let me wheel them out in this great hulking pram, we lived on a steep hill, and I'd have to lean back and pull on the handle, so the pram didn't run away with me, LOL. I was about 7 at the time I guess.
