      Good fun & a different way to explore the local area
      Our guide José was great. His knowledge of the local area and the history was brilliant & it was nice to learn more about the area. There was good communication on where to meet and when the host would arrive. It was just my partner and I on the tour and we both really enjoyed it. It was also our first time on Segway’s, but José was great at explaining how they worked, tips on how to use them and put safety first. If you are in the area, I would recommend the tour, but do it at the start of your trip, so you can benefit from all the local tips on places to eat / visit.

      Something different!
      A fun and informative tour around the marina, into Quarteria, and back, with some stops for photos on the way. Joe was a great guide and spoke good English, he shared some history of the area and tips for good places to visit, and sent photos and video he took of us. There are daytime tours too, which would give you the views but night-time was amazing with the city lights and the quieter streets meant we could zip around and see areas not usually possible. Recommended.

      Great fun riding a Segway. The tour guide knew a lot about Faro, and he was nice company with small talk and all. I saw a lot, and learned a lot, about Faro. Highly recommended.

      Really fun experience; glad we booked it.
      Highly recommend this activity. We are a family of 5 (kids 16, 11, 11) and we all loved it. It takes about 1.5 hr which is a perfect amount of time. Don't be intimidated because the segways aren't difficult to use. It takes about 5 minutes to get the hang of it and then you're good to go. I even did it with a shoulder injury and I did fine. Wear sunscreen and maybe take some water in a backpack on a hot day. Some of the tour is shaded under trees but some of it is in the sun so plan accordingly.

      Great tour with a great guide. Wonderful sights and lots of information about where to eat and where to go which we used for the remainder of our trip. Can't wait to come back and do another tour.

      Great first time Segway experience!
      Excellent first time Segway experience (in the rain) to see the beautiful Ria Formosa and Quinta do lago. Andre was a great guide. He was very patient whilst we got the hang of the Segway! Would definitely recommend this company.

      Recommended. See Portugal away from the coast and the tourists
      Monchique segway tour. Absolutely brilliant guide, Andrea, and easy scenic tour. I think I would have liked a brief stop for 15mins for a coffee midway through.

      Good Algarve experience using a Segway
      Andre who we were following was a good representative and he explained all the different places he took us from the start of McDonalds in Vilamoura to Vilamoura marina and onwards to Quanteira. Highly recommend as you get a lot to see and explanation of the different places we went. When I compare this activity to the Segway in Gran Canaria the host in Spain had a go pro and took photos and a video whilst we rode the Segway, on this tour we captured a single photo on one of our stops by the lighthouse using my iPhone.

      Great customer service from start to end! The team were very quick to respond to messages and were helpful. The tour guide was friendly, and the ‘Cultural Faro’ tour was informative. Would definitely recommend this company and tour!

      Our party of 5 absolutely loved every minute of this experience!! Our tour guide Andre was friendly and professional whilst making sure we were safe and comfortable at all times. Any queries prior to our trip were met with quick responses and clear instructions. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone looking for something different and fun to do of an evening and I would not hesitate to book this experience again or any of the other segway tours they offer 😊

      An excellent experience.
      An excellent experience. Andre took great care to ensure that all participants were comfortable riding the Segways, and helped us to negotiate the couple of tricky bits. He was very informative about the salt pans, carob trees and the fabulously expensive houses of Quinta de Lago. The route was especially good for those interested in bird life, and the wonderful weather helped to make this a memorable trip.

      Highly recommended to discover Rio Formosa
      We made the tour starting from ludo hiking trail during around two hours with teenagers. Our guide was super nice, he took the time to explain how to use the Segway and was attentive to security. Helmets were given. Segway is easy to manipulate after a few minutes. The tour was great, from wildlife watching (almost pink flamingos, crabs various birds) to millionaires-lifestyle watching. The place is incredible and Segway is perfect for discovery. Our guide was very interesting and we discovered a lot of things along the way. Highly recommended !

    Did this tour with my 12 year old son and we had so much fun.
    Andre, our guide was the friendliest guy ever.
    He not only showed us how to ride the Segway but also told us nice stories about the places we passed by.
    At the end he even bought us some of the Pastel de Nata pies we wanted to try.
    The two of us absolutely loved this tour.

    So yesterday 2 almost pensioners went on a Segway tour of an area completely new to us. The guide Joseph was on time and took care to make sure that we could 'control' the Segways (to an extent!). We were fitted with helmets and off we went. Joseph was excellent, giving us warnings of even the smallest bump, taking great care when we needed to cross roads (on crossings) so I felt very safe and able to enjoy the whole experience. We learnt so much about the Vilamoura and Quarteira, including a lot of history. Joseph knew all the best places to eat too, covering a wide range of tastes. We both thoroughly enjoyed the trip and plan to cover another area with Algarve by Segway very soon!

    We really enjoyed our tour from Andre. We booked rather last minute, but that wasn't a problem. The explanation of how to use the Segways was good and Andre helped the less coordinated amongst us, to feel safe. There was no rush and we were able to make frequent stops to enjoy the scenery and stories that were shared. We would definitely book another Segway tour with Algarve by Segway during a future trip to this beautiful place.

    We had a private appr. 90 min. tour vilamoura. We had / our Navi had a problem to find the right way from Gorjoes to McDonalds. We were about 15 min late but the guide was still waiting. Thank you very much. We had a nice guide and saw a lot of things. He explained different things. We had a lot of fun. It was not the first time. We had already experience from USA. Overall it was very good. The only thing what could be better is that the guide would stopp for/ by crossing streets and let the visitors first over the street. After he can have the lead again. The segway equipment should be more checked. The wheel of my segway was a bit shakey. It was a nice tour with a lot of good impression.

    Despite never having been on a segway & very apprehensive, couldn’t believe how easy they were to use! 2 adults & 2 kids (10 & 12) all thoroughly enjoyed the segways, the tour & Nelson our tour guide. Great way to cover a big area & exhilarating at the same time. So glad we did this, so glad Nelson was able to fit us in at short notice. I would recommend booking in advance. Can’t wait to do another segway tour!

    We always love to do a Segway tour as it’s a great way to see a city. You cover so much distance and see so much. Our guide for this trip was Andre and he was very polite and good company for the tour. He made our small group feel very welcome and explained all the safety requirements carefully. The tour itself lasted almost an hour and a half and took us along the beach/promenade through Quarteira. Would definitely recommend this trip. Thank you Andre for a great Segway experience.

    Andre was great from initial enquiry via Whats App to delivering our tour. As a family of 2 adults, 11 yr of, and 15 yr old the Vilamoura tour was just right for us. Having all been on a Segway before it definitely helped as we could just get on and head off with no training. Don’t be afraid to try this! Segways are very intuitive and you will pick it up very quickly. We cannot wait to come back and possibly try another one of the tours the next time.

    Brilliant couple of hours on segways for my son and me, guided by Nelson. He took the tour at a pace to suit a cautious mum with some challenges for an adventurous teenager. Lots of fascinating insights into local life and the tourism business. Thoroughly recommended. If you do one outing while you are in the Algarve, make it this. Vilamoura was our fourth tour with “Algarve by Segway” (but first with Nelson himself). We have a set of wonderful photos he took for us (so no worries about juggling a phone with the segway). The pasteis de nata were heavenly.
