Avail yourself of a great opportunity to see more of Old Nice and the Castle Hill, the birthplace of Nice, in a short period of time by Segway. As some half of the itinerary goes up- and downhill, get more pleasure from riding this original machine at its top speed of 20 km/h.
Before taking off to explore, our certified coaches provide a training session to make you feel confident while wandering the streets on your Segway. This tour embraces the main cultural attractions of the historic centre of Nice as the Promenade des Anglais, Cours Saleya with its multicoloured stands of fruits, vegetables, flowers and finger-licking good Niçois specialities; the Rossetti Square dominated by the magnificent baroque Sainte-Réparate Cathedral; the House of Matisse set at the foot of the Castle Hill.
Leave the Town Below (Ville Basse) to admire incredible views overlooking the turquoise waters of the Bay of Angels and tiled roofs of Old Nice from the Castle Hill (bet you won’t find any castle there!). You’ll learn about the mercantile past of Lympia port and see the white villa of Sir Elton John rising above the Mont Boron. On the way back, enjoy your speedy Segway while riding down the hill. The tour ends at the starting point on the Promenade des Anglais.
