About this experience
This city tour on the Segway is unique! We drive with you our "bridge line" from the city center to the Lindenau harbour in the west of the city. You will learn to recognize Leipzig as a green city, but also learn a lot of interesting facts (while we drive, instead of stopping everywhere) via a headset - for example, about the industrial history of the city.
Our tour starts with an intense exercise to make everyone feel safe on the Segway while riding.
Our public tours start from 2 people, but the group is not larger than 6 guests (larger individual groups are welcome).
The tour duration can be shorter or longer, depending on group size and individual skill.
