Great Segway Tour in Athens
Great guided 2 hr trip around Acropolis area. Varnia was an excellent knowledge guide, very friendly, keeping us safe, but ensuring tour was also fun. Just to add we are 'mature experienced segwayers' - this is a brilliant way to get around without all the walking!

Zippy Intro to All Things Ancient Athens
The tour was so much more fun than I could have imagined! We wanted to go fast to see as much as possible so we zipped along at a nice clip and saw amazing ancient sites as well as great streets to visit for food and drinks. It was the perfect intro to Athens. We’re certainly prepared now for what to spend more time exploring to better make the most of our time.

Great views of the Acropolis and local ruins. The cobblestones are a little rough but its worth the view. Great way to get around especially while it is crowded. Segways are a fun way to tour.

Ancient Athens Segway Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Ancient Athens Segway Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $79 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ancient Athens Segway Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Ancient Athens Segway Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 102 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ancient Athens Segway Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ancient Athens Segway Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ancient Athens Segway Tour?
+
Around 36 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ancient Athens Segway Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ancient Athens Segway Tour?
+
Included: Bottled water; Tour escort/host; Use of Segway; and Use of helmet. Not included: Gratuities; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Ancient Athens Segway Tour?
+
Our office is located within a walking distance from the Acropolis museum and 100 meters from the Metro Station of Acropolis (red line). Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Ancient Athens Segway Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian, Ukrainian, English, French, Hebrew and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ancient Athens Segway Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Ancient Athens Segway Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
