“We had Lucas from Brazil as our guide. Our family of 4 including 2 teenagers had never ridden a Segway before. Lucas was very patient with my nervous wife and in no time she and the rest of our group were comfortable cruising up and down sidewalks. The pace was perfect and we saw more of the city than we could have done on foot. At each stop Lucas explained details of the sights. We even got free cupcakes when a vendor approached us with a surprise gift! Next time we're in Stockholm (hopefully soon) we will do this tour again as its something the teenagers especially enjoyed.”
