Very poor experience
We had a very bad experience on the Segway Tour . Within 10 minutes of the Tour my wife hit a curb and landed on her face, her nose immediately started to bleed and now has considerable brusing to her face and the left side of her body. The guide gave a tissue for the blood and stayed with us for a few minutes, and then asked if we were ok to continue the tour. At this stage my wife was still shaking, I told her there is no way we were going back on like that. The guide made some calls to get the Segways back to the shop. The guide and I brought the Segways back to the square and she continued on with the Tour as she had 5 others on it. It is now two days after the tour and we have received no check-in regarding the accident from the Segway Tour company, they have both our phone number and email. Having paid in full for both of us, I feel a little disappointed that we did not receive some form of refund and a welfare check.

Cescil (apologies if I spelt that wrong) was a wonderful tour guide. It was just us three on the tour and we had a great time. Constantly learning and engaging within the history of Lyon and some beautiful sights along the way. Really made our day in Lyon
Response from the operator: Thank you so much ! It was a pleasure to show you Lyon and we would be happy to see you again for another tour with Cécile ! ☀️

Segway - Ride along the rivers 1h30: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.
How much does Segway - Ride along the rivers 1h30 cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 - Ride along the rivers 1h30 take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 - Ride along the rivers 1h30 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Lyon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Segway - Ride along the rivers 1h30?
+
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 - Ride along the rivers 1h30 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Segway - Ride along the rivers 1h30?
+
Around 15 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Segway - Ride along the rivers 1h30 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.
