Segway with Captain Tony - Our guide Tony, a dead ringer for Robert Downey Jr, was fantastic, patient and knowledgeable. We had a great experience with him.

Fantastic … Peter needs a pay rise!! - This was an absolutely fabulous tour. As complete novices to seguaying, we were given a good session on how to use them before we went out and learned all the functions needed. Then we were unleashed on the streets of Lisbon, and you know what … it was really fun, and a great way to see the city. Peter M, our guide, is very experienced and extremely knowledgable about the city and its history. We headed out to the main plaza on the waterfront, and then headed up to the narrow windy streets of Alfama. The perfect way to see the area, which is too narrow for cars and due to the hills and cobbles, quite challenging on foot. We visited the old gates to Alfama, the Pantheon and the Cathedral. As well as learning a huge amount about Portuguese history and its influence on the world. A 11/10 tour, and Peter was a fantastic host … he deserves a huge pay rise!!

Fun way to tour with teens - We wanted our tween and teen to hear some Lisbon history and see the Alfama area, but knew walking up and down hills and going to museums was going to get a thumbs down. This 1.5 hour Segway tour was the perfect activity. It was fun, easy touring and we learned lots of interesting things from our great guide Simon. None of us had been on a Segway before and I was worried how my kids would handle cobblestones and pedestrians and traffic, but it was as easy to maneuver as walking. Highly recommended for families.

No Tour and No Refund - Attempted to cancel this tour within the 24 hour window. I called the local operator to cancel, but was told that I needed to cancel with Tripadvisor. Then, I tried to contact Tripadvisor, but was on hold for 18 minutes. By the time that somebody answered, I had just missed the 24 hour cutoff deadline and therefore was unable to cancel and get a refund. Up until that point, I was satisfied with many, many Viator tours booked through Tripadvisor. In summary, I received no tour and no refund and I am very disappointed.
