There are many Barcelona Segway tours, so below we’ll outline a some of the best tours you can enjoy, and throw in some fun Segway facts, too.

Barcelona Sun & Segway

From the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter to the old harbor, and from Barceloneta beach to the Ciutadella Park, Barcelona Sun & Segway will take you to the must-see areas of the city. There are several different  tours which all consist of non-stop fun and will combine sightseeing with historical facts, plus advice for what to see and do throughout the rest of your stay. The hosts are very knowledgeable about Barcelona, so you can ask as many questions as you like and enjoy some fun anecdotes as you ‘glide’ around the city on your Segway tour.
