Overview

Experience the magic of Istanbul effortlessly with our Segway City Tour, offering a unique and fun way to explore the city's rich history and vibrant culture.

Discover Istanbul's Historic Heart
Our 3-hour Segway tour begins near Sultanahmet Square, the epicenter of Istanbul's historical peninsula. After a brief training session to ensure your comfort and safety on the Segway, we embark on a journey through time, gliding past iconic landmarks that narrate the city's storied past.

Marvel at Architectural Wonders
As we navigate the city's streets, you'll encounter the majestic Hagia Sophia, a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture, and the stunning Blue Mosque, renowned for its exquisite blue İznik tiles. These structures stand as testaments to Istanbul's rich cultural tapestry and architectural grandeur.

Explore Lush Urban Landscapes
The tour continues to Gülhane Park, Istanbul's oldest and largest urban park. Once the royal garden of Topkapi Palace, it now offers serene pathways and verdant landscapes, providing a refreshing contrast to the bustling city streets.

Witness the Legacy of Empires
We'll glide by the historic Hippodrome Square, once the social and sporting center of Constantinople, where chariot races and political events drew massive crowds. The remnants of this grand arena offer a glimpse into the city's imperial past.

Experience the Vibrant Bazaar District
Our journey takes us through the lively Grand Bazaar area, one of the world's oldest and largest covered markets. As we pass by, you'll sense the vibrant atmosphere of this commercial hub, with its myriad of shops and stalls offering everything from spices to textiles.

Conclude with Panoramic Views
The tour culminates at the Suleymaniye Mosque, perched on one of Istanbul's seven hills. This architectural marvel not only showcases Ottoman design at its finest but also offers panoramic views of the city and the Bosphorus Strait, providing a perfect end to our exploration.

I was initially worried that three hours would be too long and tiring, but it was enjoyable from start to finish. My 12 year old son absolutely loved the experience; it was a perfect way to introduce him to the main attractions of the old city. The guide was excellent; he was very knowledgeable and explained the history in an engaging way. I highly recommend this tour; it's great value and much more enjoyable than exploring on foot.

The Segway tour was an interesting way to see Istanbul, but it had its ups and downs. The training session at the start was thorough, and I felt comfortable riding the Segway after a few minutes of practice. Gliding past landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque was definitely cool, though we didn’t stop long enough at any of them to really take them in it was more of a quick glimpse while rolling by.Gülhane Park was a nice break from the busy streets, but the tour moved pretty quickly, so there wasn’t much time to relax. The Grand Bazaar area was fun to see, but since we didn’t actually go inside, it felt like we just skirted around the real experience. The best part was the view from the Süleymaniye Mosque at the end that alone almost made up for the rushed feeling of the rest of the tour.Overall, it was a decent way to cover a lot of ground in a short time, but I wish there had been more stops for photos or a bit of history from the guide. If you're short on time and just want a quick overview, it works, but don’t expect a deep dive into the sights.

The tour was fantastic, and our guide was incredibly informative. Although the tour lasted only three hours, the time flew by as we learned a great deal about Turkey’s history and Istanbul’s famous landmarks. Riding Segways added an extra element of fun. I would definitely recommend this company. We’ve done Segway tours in other cities before, and they’ve always been a hit with our whole family.
