Really fun experience; glad we booked it. - Highly recommend this activity. We are a family of 5 (kids 16, 11, 11) and we all loved it. It takes about 1.5 hr which is a perfect amount of time. Don't be intimidated because the segways aren't difficult to use. It takes about 5 minutes to get the hang of it and then you're good to go. I even did it with a shoulder injury and I did fine. Wear sunscreen and maybe take some water in a backpack on a hot day. Some of the tour is shaded under trees but some of it is in the sun so plan accordingly.

An excellent experience. - An excellent experience. Andre took great care to ensure that all participants were comfortable riding the Segways, and helped us to negotiate the couple of tricky bits. He was very informative about the salt pans, carob trees and the fabulously expensive houses of Quinta de Lago. The route was especially good for those interested in bird life, and the wonderful weather helped to make this a memorable trip.
