Segway Tours
Are you taking a  holiday in Tuscany but are worried that you won't be able to see any of the historical sights of the city because you find it difficult to walk?
Or maybe you are just looking for a more modern and unique way to view the cities of art?

If so then maybe the Segway tours are exactly what you are looking for. Unique, modern, and absolutely no need to walk anywhere, these provide excellent transportation in which you can see everything that you wanted to and more.

These tours are on offer in Pisa and Florence and the maximum that the tours last is 3 hours so you don't spend all day seeing the cities and instead you can spend time shopping, having dinner, or relaxing beside a swimming pool if you have rented a holiday villa.

If you have not yet rented a holiday property but would like to do so then we will be more than happy to assist you and we are waiting to hear from you. Click here to view our full catalogue of holiday self-catering rentals in the Tuscaan region.
