The best guide ever and the best experience if you want to learn about Istanbul history, why the buildings look like they look. You also discove hidden gems that you would not find otherwise.

There are a couple of number 27s on the street, correct one is for the flats 27-29 over the entrance

A lot of history, our guide was great. Segway are easy to learn. But it was very cold, I should have bundled up.

I ended up having a private tour since I was the only one registered for that date and time, which was a nice bonus. It was also my first time ever riding a Segway.
Toward the end of the tour, I admittedly got into my own head about balancing, which made it more challenging for me. So a rule of thumb: if you’re not comfortable with balance-based activities or tend to overthink them, this might not be the best fit. The route includes several uphill and downhill inclines, as well as some uneven terrain. It definitely adds character and fun to the experience, but it does require steady balance and confidence.
That said, the guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. He shared interesting insights at each stop and provided great historical background about the buildings and locations we visited.
I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys active experiences, has good balance, or likes activities similar to high-wire or tightrope-style challenges. It’s a unique and memorable way to explore the area!

Zoe_F, Nov 2025
Brilliant way to get around Istanbul and really good fun. saw lots I wouldn’t normally have seen. Tour guide was very good and knowledgeable
Alvin_J, Nov 2025
Absolutely amazing tour. A group were supposed to join us but dropped out but Tariq still took me around on my own.
As a bit of a history and military geek, his knowledge and detail of the Ottoman Empire, Roman and Byzantium influences was extremely impressive. The tour flew by and is definitely one of the most enjoyable guided tours I’ve had!
Kristine_h, Oct 2025
Covered a lot of ground. Our guide had excellent history knowledge.
Mastered the Segway in about 10 minutes.
Sandra_M, Aug 2025
This was a great way to see the city and get your bearings. The segways were top of the range, easy to use and even my teenagers deigned to come and enjoyed it! Our guide was wonderful - full of knowledge and information. He was also fantastic and very considerate when I had to leave early with one of my sons as he was feeling sick. I would highly recommend this tour!
Kerryn_P, Aug 2025
We had a brilliant morning exploring the sights of Istanbul on Segways! The tour was fascinating—informative, varied, and so much FUN. This is truly one of the best ways to see the city. If you have three or four hours and want to make the most of your time, this experience is an absolute must.
It was my first time on a Segway, and I picked it up within minutes. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and had us captivated with his stories from start to finish.
I honestly can't recommend this highly enough!

A fantastic way to see Istanbul without walking up all of the hills. Our tour guide Tarik was informative and knew all the best pictures to get along the route. We felt like we saw even more than what we expected and riding a Segway is always a pleasure. Highly recommend!

Brilliantly informative, fun and professional. Tarik was really knowledgeable and very good. Packed loads into 3 hours.

Segwaying around European cities has become a tradition of ours and this, of the many we have done, was honestly one of the best in terms of the guides knowledge! We really enjoyed our tour! Thanks for showing us around!

During my recent trip to Istanbul, I had the pleasure of joining a Segway tour that turned out to be one of the highlights of my visit. Gliding through the city’s bustling streets and historic sites was thrilling and comfortable, offering a unique perspective that you wouldn’t get by foot.
What really made this experience exceptional was our tour guide. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but he had a passion for Istanbul’s rich history and culture that was truly infectious. He shared fascinating insights and stories about each landmark, from the Hagia Sophia to the Blue Mosque, providing historical context that deepened our appreciation for the city. His engaging storytelling style made it easy to follow along, and he was always happy to answer questions, making the tour feel personal and interactive.
If you’re planning a visit to Istanbul and want to cover a lot of ground in a fun, educational way, I highly recommend this Segway tour. It’s perfect for anyone looking to learn more about the city’s heritage with the guidance of a passionate and knowledgeable local.

This was my first encounter riding on a Segway. Our tour guide provided very good instructions of how one should operate it with any incidental. We were provided clear and sturdy helmets. Our guide was patient with those who didn’t master feeling comfortable on these electrical vehicles. We your parts of Istanbul in a single file line. By the time we completed our tour, everyone was operating their Segway almost at an expert level. Thank for an amazing experience, I feel like I should personally become an owner of a Segway!
Ashley_R, Oct 2024
We loved our guide Tarik. He was so funny and personable. He made sure we were all comfortable on the segways before we started. We liked all the stops he took us to and all the information he shared. This was such a fun way to see the old city. Great tour. Well worth the money.

Our family of four recently took the Segway Istanbul Old City Tour, and it was absolutely fantastic! The entire experience was incredibly fun and truly one of a kind.
Our guide was outstanding and was extremely knowledgeable about Istanbul’s history and he was clearly passionate about sharing it. He shared fascinating stories and facts that really brought the city to life, making every stop along the way more engaging.
The Segways were easy to drive and, without a doubt, the best way to explore the city. We covered a lot of ground effortlessly, seeing all the major landmarks as well as some hidden gems we would have otherwise missed.

Lorraine_B, Sept 2023
A great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. The segway is easy to manage after a short practice and lots of fun. Highly recommend.
Michelle_B, Jul 2023
Almost 4 hours of enjoyable tour with our tour guide, Tarik. His knowledge of the city was amazing, he managed to answer all of our questions. There were a total of four of us on the tour. Some of us hadn't used a segway before but we practised before we set off. Brilliant, would highly recommend.
David_J, Jun 2023
The guide gave us a good deal of historical perspective and insight into current affairs. We covered a lot of the old city.
marcfargo, May 2023
I have done several Segway city tours before. This was different. The streets of Istanbul are packed on Saturdays which made for an obstacle course. In addition, the streets are lined with small metal street markers to protect walking pedestrians but also create another obstacle course for Segway riders. It was fun but extremely challenging.
Response from Host, May 2023
Dear Marc,
thank you very much for sparing your time and leaving this review here. we are glad that you had fun and sorry for the challanges you had during the tour.
to be honest saturdays are hectic here as it is weekend and almost all city is out to spend sometime with their families and friends. unfortunately we are hands tied on the crowd related issues. we could actually change the route to make it more convenient but then we would have to skip some of the monuments we are supposed to see on tour itinerary.
we wish you all the best and hoping to have you here on our tours on a less busy day.
best regards.
Tarık
