Visiting the quays and the main squares with very nice comments: I learned a lot of interesting information about the city of Lyon in a fun way. And... I had a lot of fun crisscrossing the city with an attractive machine that allows you to move faster than on foot, and at the same time, to stop very easily without disturbing anyone! To discover absolutely!

My mom and I did this tour as we did not have a lot of time to see Lyon and it was phenomenal! The guide Tatiana was so sweet and knowledge about the city and all the hot spots! Truly a different way to see the city and made it fun. Would HIGHLY recommend. We were intially worried about the safety aspect as we had never been on a Segway before, but it was easier than it looks (:
