Glide around on our Private Paris Segway Day Tour.
We were the world’s first guided Segway tour, and we have been perfecting the recipe of fun, safety, and exploration ever since that first departure in 2003. These revolutionary machines make it easy to see the famous Parisian highlights in a short period of time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Segway Specific Questions
Is there an age or weight limit?
For your riding safety, guests must be at least 12 years of age and weigh at least 100 pounds and not in excess of 260 pounds.
Will I need to put down a deposit?
Yes. Insurance requires that Fat Tire Tours pre-authorize 400€ on a credit card. Please bring your MasterCard, Visa, or cash with you for this deposit (not Discover). Your card will not be charged, but we will hold onto the details should your Segway incur any damage while in your possession.
If this is my first time to ride a Segway, will I be able to pick it up quickly?
Your safety is always our highest priority. Therefore, we begin each tour with a very thorough orientation of the Segway and its use before going out to enjoy the city
We’ve found that our guests pick up on how to ride a Segway within the first 10 minutes, but we like to take 20-30 minutes to explain the machines, demonstrate the best riding techniques, and then allow time to practice before heading out to see the sites. We like to ensure that every guest feels 100% confident before beginning the tour.
While riding a Segway is fairly leisurely, you will be on your feet for the duration of the tour.
If I am pregnant can I join the tour?
Unfortunately, due to the risk to both child and mother, pregnant women are not allowed to participate on our Segway tours.
General Tour Questions
Where is the tour meeting point?
Your tour meets directly at our office, located at 24 rue Edgar Faure, 75015. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to tour departure.
How big will my group be?
Our tours operate in groups of 8 guests or less. If your party is larger than 8, the group will be split up for safety reasons, each with a guide. For larger parties, please inquire about a private tour at privatetours@fattiretours.com.
How long before my tour should I arrive?
The tour meeting time is 15 minutes prior to the start time. No refunds or re-bookings can be provided for late arrivals or no-shows after tour commencement or departure.
Is this tour offered in any other languages, or only English?
All scheduled tours are in English, but private tours can sometimes be scheduled in other languages, given we have a tour guide who speaks the language of your choice.
Can minors come on tour alone?
For safety reasons, minors (anyone under the age of 18) must be accompanied by an adult on the tour.
What is your cancellation policy?
Due to the nature of guide scheduling for private tours, cancellations or rescheduling requests must be done at least 7 days in advance of the activity start time to be eligible for a full refund. Reschedulings are subject to availability and fare difference may apply.
