Description:

Explore Catania and uncover its incredible features from atop an easy-riding Segway. Glide through streets flanked by ancient architecture, Baroque façades, and medieval castles as an experienced tour guide shares fascinating information about the dramatic past of this Sicilian city.

Meet your trip leader in the city center and enjoy a brief orientation on basic Segway operation. When you feel comfortable making tight turns, controlled stops, and energetic starts, head out into cobblestone lanes that date back to the Middle Ages.

Cruise by the good-natured fountain in Pacini Gardena as you make your way to Piazza Duomo. Admire the ornate spires of the square’s massive cathedral before continue on to the noble columns of the Teatro Massimo Bellini. This stunning theater and opera house was built in 1890 and dedicated to famed Italian composer Vincenzo Bellini.

Nearby, roll down the Via Etnae to reach the Piazza Dante, where you can jump off your futuristic ride to snap photos of the San Nicola Basilica and Monastery. Wrap up your electric excursion with a ride to the Piazza Federico de Svevia, site of the dramatic grounds of Castello Ursino. Spend some time zipping around its imposing ramparts and stone towers, listening to stories about its construction from your experienced guide before heading back to your starting point near the water.
