Discovering Chania in Segway Style - We were a family of 4, including 2 young children who were new to a Segway. After a concise but comprehensive briefing and test ride, our friendly and knowledgeable guide Manolis threaded us through the city's narrow streets and alleyways accompanied by a closed circuit audio guide to Chanian history and folklore. A safe and thoroughly enjoyable way to discover this beautiful town.

Easy to ride and insightful experience - Myself and my adult daughter chose to do this as a way to learn about The Oldtown in a fun way- and it lived up to our expectations! Our guide Betty was lovely and very helpful in teaching us to ride and control the the Segway. Once underway, she gave us many opportunities to stop at interesting points around the town and take pictures. She also took several of us together which will be emailed to us later ( no charge), so it will be lovely to have some of both of us. The Segway was lots of fun and there was many things we got to see in the 90 mins that we may not have had time to otherwise. Would do this again - so much fun!

Great fun on our Segway tour - We had a great time riding through the narrow streets, round the harbour and down to the seafront. We all had a decent amount of tuition before heading off and felt safe and looked out for along the route. The audio guide was an added bonus which gave us more of an insight into the town.

Super Segway Tour - Since visiting Epcot about 20 years ago, have wanted to Segway. This was so much better than my dream in many ways. First, I was instructed by the most beautiful, knowledgeable, skilled, patient, & kindest Segway expert until I was comfortable & she was satisfied with my maneuverability. Then, she did the same for my husband. Next, we explored the enchanting streets, neighborhoods & noteworthy sites of Crete, as she kept a constant, observational eye on us for safety & gave us the best of tips to make our rides more comfortable and enjoyable. She took photos of us to send later via email to have a permanent record of a day full of precious memories. And it was a wonderful day because of this not to be missed tour. It could not have been better.

Worth a visit. - The port of Chania has something special about it. However, the old town is already very built up with newer houses. This makes the charm disappear

Good visit, bad audioguide - Good visit, interesting tour around the old city. The audioguide was aviable in French but a bit difficult to hear with the wind and we were happy to have the real guide to give us explanations
