Segways themselves are safe, if you use them correctly, like bikes and other items. If you use them wrong, you could fall.

As to the safety of that particular tour, I would say you have to make your own judgement, once you see their operation. As a rule, I would say you should get a safety briefing (in your own language) and have some practice time so you can get comfortable using the segway before you go on your tour, and most good tour companies plan this into their system.

Also, most tour companies require helmets, but not all. If the group is large, I would think more than one tour guide is appropriate, as no one person can watch 20 segways and give a tour.

Keep your own safety in mind, but have an open mind. I think you will likely have a great time.

Come back and post your experiences. Have fun!

What is the core elements of a tour you think? How do you define a "Good Tour"? I'm picturing myself. but find it's very difficult to come up with new things rather than showing some good sites, picture taking and stop at a cafe... Any ideas?
