Our guide was really informative and luckily for us he spoke English. So we learnt a lot about Bordeaux. It was a lot of fun. Thank you Clairmont.

This was so much fun! Even for two over-60s. Despite being a bit nervous to begin, I soon felt reasonably confident and able to enjoy the route around this gorgeous historical city. Our guide, Clement, was great fun and provided a good 'commentary' of the sights and the city's past and current life. He proclaimed us 'Pro' Segway riders, which was probably just a teeny bit of an exaggeration, and let us free to do a slalom in the Esplanade des Quinconces. Wild! We wouldn't hesitate to jump on a segway again.Lay-By-Lil

We had so much fun on this tour and it was so easy to learn the basics. The staff were very helpful and gave a short intro to the art of riding the segway. In addition to the fun, it is a great way to explore the city.

Aloha and mahalo, Axelle, for fun morning. We took the 2-hour tour. I was anxious to try this, but a little apprehensive because I am not the least bit athletic or coordinated. I worried that I would have a hard time stopping or would run into people. After a short introduction and a little practice, I got the hang of it, and went zipping away. Because it gave us mobility and speed, we were able to see a lot on both sides of the river. I encourage anyone to try this.
