About this tour
A 2-hour guided Segway, e-scooter or e-bike tour through Barcelona's lesser-known streets, with stops for Catalan tapas, seafood, vermouth and wine included. You'll get training before you ride, making this accessible even if you've never balanced on a Segway before. It pairs the novelty of electric transport with genuine local eating and drinking — not a generic hop-on hop-off sightseeing run.
Highlights
- Ride Segway, e-scooter, or e-bike (under-16s use e-bike)
- Included hands-on training session before you start
- Taste traditional Catalan dishes, fresh seafood, tapas
- Sample vermouth, wine, and local drinks en route
- Explore quieter streets away from main tourist zones
- Helmets, raincoats, and water provided
- Local guide leads throughout
What to expect
You'll meet your guide and receive a safety briefing and training on your chosen vehicle — Segway, e-scooter, or e-bike — before heading out. Once confident, you'll ride through Barcelona's back streets and quieter neighbourhoods, stopping at several points to taste Catalan specialities: cured meats, seafood, tapas, and glasses of vermouth or wine paired with each course.
The pace alternates between riding and eating; expect to cover ground but also spend time standing still sampling food and drink. The tour wraps after 2 hours, having covered a mix of neighbourhoods and filled you with local flavours and a working knowledge of how to ride your vehicle.

Good to know
This suits anyone wanting a mix of activity and food culture without committing to a heavy hike or cooking class. It works well for small groups and confident riders, but note: you must be at least 16 to operate a Segway or e-scooter (younger guests use an e-bike instead). Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, pregnancy, or significant cardiovascular concerns — check with your doctor first. Weather doesn't stop it (raincoats supplied), but wet cobblestones can feel slippery underfoot. The tour includes food and drink tastings but not a full meal; budget extra if you want more food afterwards. Public transport is nearby if you need to leave early or skip the walk to the starting point.
