About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Quills770 contributionsThis tour saved our trip to Paris!Taking this tour saved our trip to Paris! After neglecting to pre-order Louvre and Catacombs tickets, we were disappointed. After taking the tour, we had fresh ideas of where to go including a free museum full of sculptures and paintings that wasn't at all crowded. Florian imparted his knowledge of Paris with a sense of humor. Safety was definitely a priority. Great tour!Written December 29, 2024
- Pippa700 contributionsExcellent fun for teenagersI booked this for my three boys (15,17,19) and they had a ball! Florian was brilliant - funny as well as informative. They had a brilliant time and haven’t stopped quoting random facts about Paris all holiday. Definitely worth the money even on a chilly autumnal day. Teenage boys are hard to please but Florian absolutely nailed it.Written October 31, 2024
- Jennifer H0 contributionsGreat for travelling with TeensSuper way to see Paris with Teens! Florian was a funny and knowledgeable guide. The kids had fun on the Segways while the adults appreciated the historical facts. Also we saw a few parts of Paris that were new to us.Written October 22, 2024
- T2310SBlaural0 contributionsGreat way to see the city.A great way to see the city without too much walking. Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. We felt safe and had a lot of fun!Written August 30, 2024
- Cruiser1046830 contributionsSegway tour - wow!Wow!!! We went as a family of 4 on the 2.5 hour Segway tour. None of us had been on a Segway before but after the practice session we were all confident. Florian was fantastic, informative and fun. I would definitely recommend this trip if you are visiting Paris. The highlight of our trip!Written August 22, 2024
- andrewmN7189JX0 contributionsEntertaining and educational, a great experience.My daughter and I booked this in a whim without knowing anything about street art or Segways. It turned out to be a highlight of our trip to Paris. Florian was knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining. The experience left us with a new found interest in street art and artists. Fantastic if you mix this experience with a visit to the We Are Here exhibition at the Petit Palais.Written August 19, 2024
- JulesS2410 contributionsAmazing Segway tour!I saw this Segway tour advertised and immediately booked it, I’ve always wanted to try a Segway! Florian, the guide was amazing. Really knowledgeable and very patient with my son, who has learning disabilities. Florian was really funny and showed us the iconic parts of Paris within the 2.5 hour tour. Even took photos of us in our individual groups and sent them to us later in the day. I would highly recommend this tour to learn about the iconic monuments in Paris and the history of some of the buildings. My son and i thoroughly enjoyed this tour and didn’t want it to end! Would definitely do another tour with Wheels and Ways the next time we come to Paris.Written August 17, 2024
- Mari W0 contributionsBeginners Segway tour and a french lesson 🇫🇷Florian is a perfect coach / French tutor for a beginner in Segway and French. I am in Paris for volunteering for the Olympic games, and I was looking to make the most of my time here that takes me into some fresh air. I have always wanted to try Segway, so when I spotted this amongst the Things to do, I jumped at the chance. I met Florian near the Chateau of Vincennes and as I was the only client, we dived straight into business. He judged my French level well (beginner - intermediate) so he delivered the safety brief in English. With a little practice with the basics manoeuvre, off we went. It was a warm and dry day, but the breeze made it very pleasant. Florian is very knowledgeable of the history of the area (which he provided in French), I think I understood gist if not the most of it. The venue was beautiful and he had some "surprises" that added a nice tough. I found it was pretty easy to pick up how to move with the Segway. He guided me through tricky areas ( narrow, busy, other traffic) and pointed potential hazards as well as pointing out interesting scenery. I found it truly enjoyable and recommended for anyone who wants to have a go on segway, wants to tour Paris with an added twist or simply a lovely guide and companion for a couple of hours.Written August 6, 2024
- tonyaI4015RQ0 contributionsTour of the city of Paris by SegwayWhat a fantastic way to take in the beauty of this beautiful city of Paris. Florian was our tour guide and boy was he a lot of fun to spend the time with. My partner and I felt safe the whole time as the Segway side of things was new to me personally. Our tour guides instructions were very clear and he’s energy was just what we needed. He was very informative on the history of France and the history of each building and insightful on the ways of the French people, this tour is a must do and great value for moneyWritten June 27, 2024
- Trip674742112190 contributionsGreat trip - just wait till the Olympics are done!This was a lot of fun! Laura, our guide, was fantastic and looked after the group really well. I had never been on a Segway before and it was a really fun way to cover lots of the city in a short time. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that we couldn’t get to a few locations, such as Place Concorde, because of road closures due to the Olympics - a real shame but no reflection on Wheels & Ways. Definitely worth checking them out if you fancy something a little different.Written June 23, 2024
- alexsQ8451KP0 contributionsA wonderful experience on tourI did this tour with our amazing instructor; Florian who was a great guide for me and my family. He showed us amazing tourist destinations per segway and did the tour both in English and French thanks to his amazing bilingual skills. He connected with all of us and we shared interesting parts of our lives which made the tour even more interesting and fun. Do to some construction that was ongoing, we were even able to access an empty road legally to gaze at some marvelous structures and take amazing pictures. Overall, I've never had a better tour guide and I'm very thankful to have been on this amazing tour because even I, a native French person, has discovered Paris to a whole new level.Written June 22, 2024
- manuelfQ670EF0 contributionsAn amazing experience!The tour was amazing! We have never done a Segway tour before and obviously we were frightened but Laura, the guide look after us at every moment so we could enjoyed the magnificents views. The duration and the cost match perfectly. I do recomed it!Written June 11, 2024

It was a wonderful experience!
We were a small group, and our guide, Anthony was informative, funny, and versatile just for us. The tour was about an hour and 15 minutes, and it was a little bit expensive for the time it took. But it was an awesome tour!

Great tour and a great guide. We were a small group and got the VIP treatment from our guide, Florian. We got to see the Eiffel tower, the bridges over the Siene river, the military hospital and more. We always felt safe under the professional hands of our guide. I highly recommend the tour and the operator, if you’re after a short but highly enjoyable Segway experience in the city of lights.

We booked and went to experience this tour with our two kids who were at the limit of young age (14) with limited expectations and hoping that our tour guide would be knowledgeable and patient with the kids. We began the training session with Anna who was amazing, patient and cautious with our kids (me and husband are experienced Segway users) and suddenly a man came named Luca who decided to take us on his own for the tour in order to be more cautious with our two kids.
At first I really appreciated that thinking he would really show them the basics and all but he began the tour right away, even though my son and daughter had not completed the 15’ session of Segway training!! The result of course was that my 14 year old son had a sudden fall when he came across a dog right in the start of the tour (totally understandable as both kids were only shown how segways operate for 10 minutes training time !) and Lucas decided to cancel our tour although we kindly asked to make a small tour for the 4 of us as a training session, not necessarily visiting sites but only training our kids for the rest hour that we had already paid!!! He kindly refused but never offered a partial refund, and I regret to say I was very upset that he returned to base so quickly without even trying to offer my son some reassurance or calm him down.
I have done several segway tours in Europe and this one was by far the worst even if not completed. Anna was a wonderful tour guide, Lucas was not! Segways were in good condition, helmets as well. Shame we lost so much money from our first day of vacations and our son has so much fear now for this amazing sightseeing fun vehicle.

Hello Efal,
We are disappointed that your experience did not live up to your expectations.
You booked a public tour in English for 2 adults and 2 children. Your son was 14 years old but your daughter was 12 years old (confirmed by yourself when you arrived at the meeting point). Remember: the minimum age required to take part in our public tours is 14.
Furthermore, your children did not have a sufficient command of English to be able to assimilate our guides' instructions without your intervention as translator.
We decided to extract you from this public tour and entrust you to one of our available trainer-guides, in order to maintain a level of safety and comfort for all the participants: your family and the 4 other people present.
After a 300-metre ride and an first incident in which we narrowly avoided a traffic accident due to one of your teenagers (your son) not being able to control the machine, our guide decided to call an end to the ride, as he felt that the minimum safety conditions had not been met: first and foremost for your children, as well as for other users of the public space.
For your safety and comfort, the minimum age of participants and the language of the tour are essential criteria when booking an activity!
Yours sincerely
Florian

Excellent experience, the guide took us to some interesting spots around the city which would not be easy to find otherwise, he had a ton of information about the monuments and was happy to answer all our questions. He was extremely patient while teaching us how to ride the Segway, and took great care of us while we were riding on the streets. If you are visiting Paris this is definitely something you should check out.

We had the best family Segway trip ever with Florian. He was funny, professional and knowledgeable and took us to a beautiful hidden garden we never knew existed.
My two teenage daughters said it was the highlight of our Paris trip, and we agree.
We'll definitely take another Segway ride with Florian on our next trip to Paris.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful memory.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. The segways were great fun and Florian’s knowledge of the city was interesting and different from anything in the guide books. Perfect activity for a family with teens…we have a 12 year old and 15 year old and both found it very straightforward.

We've just had an amazing Segway tour with Florian. What a great introduction to beautiful Paris! Florian is extremely knowledgeable about his city, and passes on all information in an interesting and humorous way.
Once he knew of my special interest in Art Nouveau, he went out of his way to show me exquisite examples.
Thank you, Florian, for a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

My sister and I had so much fun on our Segway tour with Florian! He showed us some unique places in the city center, which we would never have thought to visit ourselves. We had such a laugh to, Florian is a very funy guy. We would recommend it to everybody.

As a group of ladies celebrating our 60th this was a worthwhile experience. Anna our tour guide was great. Anna was very helpful and clear with her instructions and we were all wizzing about in no time. we visited some off the beaten track sights including the famous art nouveau building by architect Jules Lavirotte. You have to see the place to understand it's secret.
I'm reasonably fit but found it quite physically demanding until I relaxed, then it was easy. Such fun, throughly recommend. Thank you Anna!!

HI, we are travelling with a 9 year and 12 year old. Can you please advise how they can enjoy seeing Paris on Segway, can they travel on a segway with us/1 adult and 1 child?
Written July 10, 2022
As far as I know in France it is not allowed to go by segway with two persons. But it is possible to ask the supplier about the minimum age of children. In France there is not a minimum age as in Germany. Best wishes!
