Travel in a fun way between some of the highlights of Reykjavik on an original i2 generation Segway. Learn some of Reykjavik's history along the way from an English-speaking guide who knows the ins and outs of the city. There's no better and more fun way to see the city than by Segway. This private Segway tour is set up for 2 riders and the cost applies for up to 2 riders. The cost increases if more riders join but the per person rate decreases.
We loved this Segway tour! It was the perfect amount of fun zipping around Reykjavik with lots of history and culture presented by the guide. We learned so much! He made sure we were comfortable with operating the machine and emphasized our safety before heading out. Reykjavik is a beautiful and clean city with kind people. We covered so much more ground than a walking tour would. Highly recommend this!!
Great tour - informative and fun. Couldn't have been better!!
Excellent Communication and A Wonderful Segway tour seeing the historical sites of Reykjavik. The coveralls were an important addition to making our tour even more comfortable. The training prior to use of the Segway was perfect and everyone was comfortable in no time at all. This Segway Tour was a highlight of our week in Iceland. I think everyone should do this while in Reykjavik! Stefan was absolutely amazing ����
My companion and I have taken many Segway tours (50, perhaps!) in many parts of the world but this one may have been the very best. Stefan is a fantastic guide, knowledgable and fun, and we so enjoyed seeing many parts of the city, traveling over many different kinds of terrains under his guidance. I highly recommend Stefan and his Segway tour to anyone visiting Reykjavik.
We booked the private tour for our party of four adults. I thought the price was a bit high, but in the end, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. For the most part, we were kept out of traffic patterns and felt safe. Stefan was very friendly and spoke excellent English.
We had Very good experience. Nice tour to look around the town . Stefan is very nice and helpful guide.
After a brief introduction, signing of a release and training we head out along the northern coastline of the Reykjavik peninsula. The first stop is usually the Harpa concert, conference and opera building opened in 2011. We then visit the sculpture Sun Voyage (the Viking ship) before heading over to the world-famous Hofdi house where Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev met in October 1986. Depending on the time we may visit Laugardalur valley and the landmark Reykjavik church Hallgrimskirkja. On the return trip we ride through the Old city centre. The route may change without notice to ensure the safety of the riders. In general, riders should be at least 15 years of age and weigh between 40 and 120 kg. Pregnant women may not participate for safety reasons. Participants must not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. All must sign a release. Parents sign a release for their children.

01 Hlésgata, 101, Reykjavík, Reykjavíkurborg, 101, Iceland
Hlesgata street in Reykjavik's Old harbor. Look for a sign saying Reykjavik Segway Tours. There's no number on the temporary sheds and shipping containers standing there. It is a small street so you cannot go wrong.
