    Must do, choose your first day

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly outstanding Segway experience with Tarik We had an absolutely wonderful Segway tour with Tarik from Istanbul Segway Tours. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive from the very first moment. Throughout the tour, he shared so many interesting stories and local insights that made the experience feel personal and authentic rather than touristy. Tarik adapted perfectly to our riding level, guided us with clear directions, well‑timed stops, and a great sense of safety. It felt effortless to follow him, and we could simply enjoy the city. What impressed us most was his thoughtfulness: the day before, there had been a power issue that affected the charging of the Segways. Because our tour had already been postponed once, he made sure to reserve two fully charged Segways just for us. That level of care is rare and meant a lot. Tarik, thank you so much for making our tour special. Your kindness, professionalism, and genuine passion for Istanbul made this experience unforgettable for us. We truly appreciate everything you did to ensure we had a perfect day. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Istanbul and wanting a fun, relaxed, and insightful way to explore the city.

    Fun

    Guide spoke good English. He did a good job and we have fun. My daughter fell and I did as well towards the end. Have not laughed so hard in a long time. Knowledgeable of the history of Istanbul and courteous. Would recommend. If I have any suggestions it would be to offer those who have never mounted a Segway a quick 30 minute class before going on tour. My spouse tried it for 2 minutes and panicked not wanting any part of it. I feel if she would have had some tng. prior to going she might have tried. Just jumping on and going she did not feel safe.

    Absolutely fabulous

    A very enjoyable, educational and fun few hours. ‘professor’ Tariq is a top guy: knowledgeable, amicable and fun. My first time on a Segway and I loved it … we all did. Thank you Tariq

    Best segway tour

    Tarik, our guide, was very knowledgeable about history; he had the answer for every question. The route went right to the main attractions, going through areas that usually aren't exposed to regular tourists, which is a plus.

    Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Istanbul is not rushed.

    Is Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 66 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon?

    +

    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 Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon?

    +

    Around 23 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 Istanbul 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 Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon 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 Istanbul 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 Istanbul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Famous Istanbul Pub Crawl #1 Nightlife Experience, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour. 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 Istanbul?

    +

    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 Istanbul?

    +

    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 Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon?

    +

    Included: guiding fees; Audio Headset, Helmet, Waterproof gear in case of rain; and Segway use. Not included: No interior visits to the monuments. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon?

    +

    Çatalçeşme Street no:27, close to Sultanahmet Tram Station and Basilica Cistern/ in front of Sultanahmet fire house Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon?

    +

    Is Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon 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.

    What happens to Segway Istanbul Old City Tour - Afternoon if the weather is bad?

    +
