Full description
Glide through the history of Cagliari, Sardinia’s bustling capital, on an easy 2.5-hour tour by self-balancing Segway. Following a brief training session to get you up to speed on how to handle the easy-to-operate vehicles, your guide will lead you down ancient streets and through lovely parks, while a fascinating history unfolds via the complimentary audio guide with earphone set. Much more fun than a walking tour, and more eco-friendly than driving, the Segway tour visits major attractions such as the Roman Amphitheatre on the hill of Buoncammino, where gladiatorial combats and executions were once held. Pass the 13th-century Cathedral of Santa Maria, and marvel at the Romanesque and Gothic façades concealing precious objects of great religious significance. Admire the monumental Bastion of San Remy, built by the Spanish between 1897 and 1903. And continue to Elephant Tower, the second highest medieval tower of Cagliari, characterized by a small elephant sculpture that symbolizes the impregnability of the city. Other highlights include the Royal Palace, and Porta Cristina, allowing access from the western side of the city to the district of Castello. Enjoy the exotic plants and palm trees of the Public Gardens, and go to the highest point of Cagliari at the Tower of San Pancrazio, where you will be rewarded with superb views of the Gulf of Cagliari at the city’s medieval defence point.

We were cruise ship passengers who booked this on our own and we are so happy that we did! Segway is the perfect way to see and experience Caligiari with its continuous steep inclines on a short period of time. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable with a great sense of humor and we were able to see so much of the city. It was our first time on Segways, however, it really was a quick learning curve. We also enjoyed the other passengers from our ship that did the same thing we did! Gorgeous city wth a fascinating history. Very easy walk from the cruise terminal to the meeting point using google maps.

Travelling by Segway is a good way to see the city. Guide provided some info. about the city. The tour is advertised as two and a half hours. The first 15 minutes is practice for the group. The last 20-30 minutes we spent at a café- the guide disappeared and we spent the time making polite conversation with the 2 other members of the group. Pointless! Had we realised the cafe was 20 seconds from the tour end point, we would have skipped the coffee & continued our sightseeing on foot.
