Tour Details
Take an epic three-hour trek stretching over nine miles from Nice to Villefranche-sur-Mer via Segway when you book this exciting excursion in France. Your tour includes a brief 15-minute training session from an expert Segway instructor who will show you the ropes on how to maneuver this motorized two-wheeled vehicle. You'll also get a helmet and raincoat to wear so you can travel rain or shine as you follow your instructor following a trail that takes you from Nice to the historic town of Villefranche-sur-Mer, where you'll get free time to explore the charming, narrow streets of the city and stop to whet your palate with wine and other beverages. You'll ascend and descend the trail at varying speeds for clear and panoramic views of places like the Bay of Nice and Cap Ferrat, making this tour perfect for those looking for an active yet scenic excursion.
Start your adventure by meeting up with your Segway instructor and heading to the Promenade des Anglais, where you'll take in a short 15-minute Segway training session. Get ready to put on your required safety helmet and raincoat if it begins to drizzle and follow your guide up Nice's east side along a route that travels along the Mediterranean to your port destination of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Take in the scenic views along the way and prepare to ascend at the fastest speed you can go into the low cliffside road known as a "basse corniche," once your instructor removes your Segway's speed limitation.
Get a panoramic view of the beautiful blue waters of the bay of Nice and lush hillsides and ornate buildings of Cap Ferrat, a commune located within the French Alps and known as one of the world's most expensive places to live. Enjoy your leisure time and explore Villefranche upon your arrival, where you can wander its narrow streets and awe at its picturesque scenery and architecture that includes 16th-century built chapels and hillside homes. Stop at a local cafe or bodega by the roadstead for a glass of wine before climbing up "Come d'Or" or Golden Horn hills as you return to Nice to end your excursion.
From catching stunning views of the Bay of Nice via Segway to exploring a historic town by foot, this tour offers a unique perspective of the south side of France. Book this exciting excursion now and get ready to experience a sea-and-sky adventure of a lifetime!
