Before wi’ll start our tour to see the sights of Barcelona, your guide will show you how to manage the personal transporter safely. Once you feel confident, the tour will begin.
One of the most impressive tour on a Segway. We start from a Barceloneta beach where you will enjoy a beautiful coast. This is one of Barcelona's oldest and best-loved beaches. It is thought to have inspired Miguel de Cervantes as the setting for the fight between Don Quixote and the Knight of the White Moon.
Leave the beach behind we’ll go all the way down to the Old Port with their gothic buildings. History of this place begins in 4th century BC when Barcelona was occupied by the Laietani. Barkeno, on Montjuïc, was their main settlement. But Port Vell start it’s port activity just it 1th century AD the Romans founded a colony Barcino. The port what you can see now was built as part of an urban renewal program prior to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
We’ll stop in front of the Columbus monument and see famous boulevard – La Rambla. A tree-lined pedestrian mall, it stretches for 1.2 kilometres connecting Plaça de Catalunya in the centre with the Christopher Columbus Monument at Port Vell. La Rambla forms the boundary between the quarters of Barri Gotic, to the east, and El Raval.
After we’ll move to the central Parc de la Ciutadella, historical landmark of the great expansion of the city. History of the park begins in 1714. During the War of the Spanish Succession, Barcelona was laid siege for 13 months by the army of Philip V of Spain. The city fell, and in order to maintain control over it, and to prevent the Catalans from rebelling as they had in the previous century, Philip V built the citadel of Barcelona. Hundreds of Catalonians were forced to work on the construction for three years, while the rest of the city provided financial backing. In 1841 the city's authorities decided to destroy the fortress, which was hated by Barcelona's citizens. The park was built for the World Fair in 1888.
The rest of the tour we will spend passing close to the Arc of Triumph. It was built as the main access gate for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair. Designed by Josep Vilaseca as the principal exhibition entrance, with unusual, Mudéjar-style brickwork. At the top of the arch the shields of the 49 Spanish provinces are presided over by the coat of arms of the city of Barcelona, encompassing Catalan culture and history.

It was so well organised and enjoyable to do and really get a glimpse of barcelona within the two hours. Our tour guide Nino was so much funny and made us enjoy the tour even more. Very kind and helped along the way with the segway. He even paid for spray paint out of his own pocket for us to graffiti at the local skate park. Clean business. 10/10 recommend to all.
