4.Energizing 2-Hour Morning Segway Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 35 reviews · from $76

Ride a Segway through central Berlin with a professional English- or German-speaking guide and a group of no more than 10. After training, you’ll visit Brandenburg Gate, Museum Island, Gendarmenmarkt, Tiergarten, Checkpoint Charlie, and Potsdamer Platz. It is a fast, fun introduction to the city, though winter riders should bring gloves.

“Thus is such a great, fun way for seeing the city in a short space if time. We were 2 adults and a 16 year old. my son loved it. I would have preferred a bit more history as mostly the basics covered. We saw all the main highlights around the brandemburg gate, museum island, checkpoint charlie etc but didn't have time for east side gallery. make sure you bring gloves if you're doing it in the winter - we were freezing!”
