I came to Bodrum for 3 days trip and i found segway city tour in tripadvisor. I just wanted small experience with segway. But i wasn’t expecting that. I made booking just 45 min then i felt really really good and I extended my tour to 2.5 hour. It’s so so much funny. Idk how to tell what i feel in this experience. Umut was my guide he was really understanding people. When i said to him maybe i couldn’t use segway, he made me comfortable. If anybody come to Bodrum they really must book this tour.
The experience was very good. We came during November and I booked the tour just an hour before I wanted to start. Umut was really flexible and helpful plus very fun to talk to and will click amazing photos of you during the tour. MUST DO if you’re a tourist in Bodrum.
This is a great excursion. Segways are easy to use. Guide is nice and knowledgeable. Easy way to get around and see all the sights. Highly recommend!
We had the Grand Tour with Umut as our guide. We had the 2.5 hour and covered about 12km of the city which included the harbour old town and up to see the windmills. Umut is a friendly and knowledgable about his town. Highly recommend. And there is a traditional Turkish bar next door to his.
