Ehdottomasti kannatti ottaa vähemmän kävelyn päiväksi tämä, jaksoi sitten taas seuraavana päivänä kävellä muita kohteita ja retkiä. Kaupungintalo oli kaunis ja yllättävä neogoottilainen helmi.”

“First off neither my wife or I had ever rode a Segway. We were a little nervous but we got instructions and practice before we set off. The tour was amazing! This was probably the best thing we did in Munich. Our guide was a guy named Abdel. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. He is 100% the reason you should choose this company for your Segway tour. It was snowing and absolutely freezing when we went and that didn’t stop the tour. Thanks for the great tour and great memories!!”
