About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- LisaFar0 contributionsEnjoyable and informativeA very enjoyable private tour with our guide Jose. He was very knowledgeable and also earnest which made talking to him and learning from him very enjoyable. We did have an issue with one of the Segways breaking down, but he was efficient in going back to replace it and made up for the lost time. We saw many birds in the park, including the rare Purple Swamphen. The only con was that the route was not circular, so we had to backtrack the entire way. I would highly recommend this tour for those who would like a taste of the Ludo Trail.Written 24 January 2025
- Ursula J0 contributionsGood fun & a different way to explore the local areaOur 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.Written 8 November 2024
- sianc9270 contributionsGreat! Would 100% recommend!It was great! We had a wonderful time. Joe was brilliant! His English was very good, which we really appreciated. Tips on where to eat and what else to do were greatly received! Saw parts of the town that we just wouldn’t have seen on foot and received some really good local history too.Written 19 October 2024
- Elkie_B0 contributionsSomething 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.Written 11 October 2024
- christineWarrington0 contributionsA Tour of 2 cities by Segway!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!Written 3 September 2024
- Ermort0 contributionsGreat experienceGreat 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.Written 11 August 2024
- amyrayan0 contributionsReally 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.Written 28 July 2024
- joannemI4972NK0 contributionsSegwayOur tour guide Joseph was really good. Very knowledgeable and patient. He took great photos and videos of us and shared them with us at the end. Great day trip for a family with 2 teenagersWritten 14 July 2024
- wayner1010 contributionsAmazing experienceGreat 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.Written 30 May 2024
- markcN5638VB0 contributionsGreat fun!Whole family thoroughly enjoyed it, our 10 year old was well able to operate her Segway. Nelson was a fantastic guide, I would highly recommend to anyone!Written 15 February 2024
- 82vicky0 contributionsGreat 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.Written 31 October 2023
- neiltennant19630 contributionsGreat Segway TourWe 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.Written 19 September 2023
- NIcola M0 contributionsRecommended. See Portugal away from the coast and the touristsMonchique 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.Written 7 August 2023
- 154hafsay0 contributionsAmazing tour!This is a family friendly Segway tour! Nelson was very helpful and informative, we all enjoyed looking at the views as well as the animals! Would love to come again!Written 3 August 2023
- sam_chilwan0 contributionsGood Algarve experience using a SegwayAndre 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.Written 22 July 2023

We were a group of novices and intermediates, but following a wobbly start (for a few) everyone was soon confident on their Segway. The boardwalk provided a safe and pleasant place away from any roads or traffic. Our friendly guide led us well and gave us some interesting information on the local flora and fauna. We all enjoyed the sunset views, and would definitely go again.

Great fun and well organised tour, nice scenery!
Segway is easy to control suitable for all age!
And it’s a good way travel without walking, I would recommend this trip to any visit this area. Super nice beach cafe in that area.

Andre was kind and warm-hearted. He was very helpful and gave a lot of insights to culture and nature specialties. The pace was never too fast nor too slow and the landscape and scenery is nice and diverse.

This is the second year that we have included 'Segway Day' into our Algarve vacation and we plan to make it a staple. Nelson and his team are accommodating, knowledgable, and most importantly, they are fun to be with. The machines themselves are super-easy to use. Highly recommended!

We experienced the segway two years ago when we did the Ria Formosa trip withthus company. That trip was outstanding. This year we wanted a different segway tour. Whilst the Ria Formosa was my favourite with regards to landscape and variety etc the Albuferia trip this year was just as well organised and delivered. Very professional company. Highly recommended.
