    Friendly and safe and fun

    Thanks… an amazing experience from a great tour guide. We had a safety talk on the Segway and then we off into Lyon. Felt safe all the time as we were on bike lanes and parks. Highly recommended.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for you review and we are really happy that you enjoy your Segway tour and that you felt safe. We hope to see you again 🔥

    Fun on the Segway!

    Enjoyed the beautiful day on the Segway. Would have liked a little more commentary about history or unique facts. They were very kind to our first timer in our group. Good experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you! We hope you had a nice trip in Lyon and would be happy to see you again! ☀️

    No

    Agreed to meet at metro station and no one showed up. Totally a waste of time and money. Make concrete plans before paying a cent

    Response from the operator: Dear Lynda, We are surprised to read your review. You must have us confused with another Viator partner since we DO NOT offer a different meeting point other than our shop in the old town. Indeed, all of our tours start and end at our shop. It is CLEARLY specified on Viator BEFORE you booked the tour. Once you booked the tour, the meeting point is also VERY CLEARLY mentioned on your voucher (I send you the proof on d-day). So, NO ONE never agreed to meet you at the metro station. On d-day, you didn't answer neither our text message, nor our call, nor our text on Viator. With no reason, you were at the Tourism Office at the hour of the tour. We also offered you to come in the afternoon but you never replied... It is too easy to let a negative review when you have made the mistake... We really hope you enjoyed your stay in Lyon !

    Lyon on the go

    Our guide Lorraine (sorry if misspelled) was a professional and complete awesome tour guide, a definite asset to the organization.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much! We are happy that you enjoyed the company of Lauryn! Come back whenever you want !

    Must do this. A great introduction to Lyon

    Thoroughly enjoyable experience. Roman was an engaging and enthusiastic guide. We felt very safe and became very good Segway drivers. Beautiful tour!

    Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.

    How much does Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h cost?

    +

    Prices start at $63 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lyon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h 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 Lyon is not rushed.

    Is Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Lyon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h 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 Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h?

    +

    Around 8 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 Lyon 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 Lyon and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h 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 Lyon 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 Lyon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lyon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lyon Highlights & Secrets Walking Guided Tour (small group) including Funicular, Highlights and Hidden Gems of Lyon Guided Walking Tour (English), Lyon Old Town Food Tour with 5 Authentic Dishes & Fine Wine. 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 Lyon?

    +

    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 Lyon?

    +

    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 Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h?

    +

    Included: Segway rental; Local guide; Helmet (required and provided); and Raincoat (if necessary). Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Segway Grand Tour of Lyon - 2h?

    +

    +
