George is a knowledgeable, friendly and all round excellent guide and Segway teacher. Segway is the best way to see beautiful Granada. Don’t be put off by the thought that a Segway is a difficult thing to ride, if you have ridden a bicycle, then you can ride this. My son and I took in the sights of the city, then headed up into the mountains to watch the sun set over the Alhambra. A truely incredible experience. Thanks George!

Georges and Léo adapted with great kindness and flexibility to our family (2 adults and a 12-year-old child) to offer us a visit in French with a mix of electric bike and Segway. The course is beautiful and extremely immersive. The explanations and anecdotes are captivating. A trip to the top and very beautiful memories! We heartily recommend them!

Violeta was terrific!! It was a great way to be immersed on the neighborhood, with narrows streets and histories that would be really hard to find and know. Just when we started the tour our bike had a chain broke, but she was really fast and nice to find help with the company… everything was great!

Really enjoyed going off the beaten track with our guide on Thursday morning. insightful, local knowledge -really interesting
