Segways turn Reforma Avenue into a moving viewpoint. You’ll zip along Paseo de la Reforma and nearby sights with a guide, getting a fast, fun overview of major monuments in a small-group format.

I especially like two things: the on-site Segway training before you really move, and the way the route is built for quick landmark moments instead of long waits. I also like that the tour includes helmet and safety vest, plus photos taken during the ride so you don’t have to hold your camera at every stop.

One thing to consider: the rules are strict. You need to be able to step on and off the Segway easily and quickly without help, and pregnant riders aren’t allowed.

Key things to know before you ride

• Small group (max 6 people) keeps the pace manageable and the guide’s attention closer.
• Training starts right at the start point, so you’re not scrambling to learn basics mid-ride.
• Safety gear is included: helmet, safety vest, and a raincoat if needed (elbow and knee pads are optional).
• Most landmark stops are quick and free to view, but one museum has an extra ticket cost.
• Photos are included, taken during the tour as you pass major spots.
• English is available and you’ll get a mobile ticket for easier entry.

Training first, then Reforma Avenue speed

The tour starts at Av. Homero 530, Chapultepec Morales, Polanco V Secc, Miguel Hidalgo, 11560 Ciudad de México. You’ll begin at Greenway Restaurante 100% Pet Friendly, where the focus is learning the Segway basics in a calm setup before you roll out into traffic-adjacent streets.

Expect a short training block on site, then you’re off. That “learn first” approach matters, because the rest of the experience is about enjoying the ride and the sights—not trying to figure out controls while you’re moving.

Also, this tour is offered in English, which helps if your Spanish is rusty and you want clear guidance on what to do with the machine.

The best route feel: quick passes of big landmarks

This is a Segway tour designed for motion. You’ll spend your time gliding along Paseo de la Reforma and surrounding areas, with the guide steering you through a corridor where major landmarks are close enough to make a meaningful sightseeing loop.

The highlights are obvious: you’ll pass the Rufino Tamayo Museum area and then work your way toward the big monument stretch. The payoff is that you see a lot in a short time, without the stress of finding parking or walking for hours in one long line.

Small-group limits help here. With a cap of six people, the guide can slow down when you need a moment and keep the group together. It’s not just comfort—it also makes the route feel smoother.

Stop-by-stop: what each location is really like

Your itinerary is built around short, specific stops. Some are mostly for seeing and snapping photos. One includes a museum where you may want extra time, but it’s not built into the main pacing.

Stop 1: Greenway Restaurante 100% Pet Friendly (training start)

You start at Greenway Restaurante 100% Pet Friendly with a training session that lasts about 10 minutes. Admission for this training start is free, and it’s your moment to get comfortable: mounting, balance, and moving at the guide’s pace.

Practical note: wear tennis shoes and avoid anything that makes stepping on and off harder. If you show up in dress shoes or sandals, you’ll feel it fast once the training begins.

Stop 2: Circuito Gandhi (the runner’s track feel)

Next is Circuito Gandhi, a track runners love, located behind the Museum of Anthropology area. You get about 10 minutes here—enough to take in the spot and get the feel of the surroundings before the bigger sights.

Why it’s a good Segway stop: it breaks up the route so you’re not just rushing from monument to monument. It also gives the guide a chance to check that everyone is holding steady before you approach the most iconic parts of the avenue.

Stop 3: Museo Nacional de Antropologia (short museum pass)

Then you’ll reach Museo Nacional de Antropologia, with about 5 minutes at the site. The museum is designed to house and exhibit the archeological legacy of peoples of Mesoamerica and also to reflect Mexico’s current ethnic diversity.

Here’s the key drawback: admission is not included for this museum. With only a short stop, it’s best if you’re viewing it from the outside and enjoying the museum setting rather than expecting a full visit. If you want deeper time inside, plan on budgeting extra and going back later.

Stop 4: Trail of Light and Estela de Luz

You’ll head to the Trail of Light, specifically the Estela de Luz. This memorial monument was built between 2010 and 2011 for the celebrations of Mexican Independence’s bicentennial and the Mexican Revolution’s centenary.

You only get around 5 minutes here. That’s enough for a quick photo and a sense of the monument’s scale, but not for any long reading or guided-style museum interpretation. Still, the time works well if you want a lot of sights without turning the day into a schedule of ticket lines.

Stop 5: Fuente de la Diana Cazadora (Diana the Huntress Fountain)

Next is Fuente de la Diana Cazadora, a monumental fountain located on Paseo de la Reforma Avenue. Expect about 5 minutes.

This is one of those stops where you’ll likely use the included photo moments. It’s also a good chance to look around the plaza area and not just focus on where you’re standing on the Segway route.

Stop 6: El Angel de la Independencia (the famous monument roundabout)

Then comes El Angel de la Independencia, also called the Independence Monument or colloquially The Angel. It’s located at the roundabout where Paseo de la Reforma, the Tiber River, and Florence meet.

You’ll get around 5 minutes. This stop is usually photo-heavy because it’s visually strong and positioned for views from multiple angles. Just remember: you’ll be guided back to the Segway quickly, so don’t count on time for wandering far from the route.

Stop 7: Monument to the Revolution (architecture + mausoleum)

The final main monument stop is the Monument to the Revolution, described as an architectural work and a mausoleum dedicated to the Mexican Revolution’s commemoration. You’ll have about 10 minutes.

Compared with the 5-minute stops, this longer time helps. It gives you a little more breathing room to walk a short distance around where the group stops, take photos, and get a better sense of the monument beyond the first look.

Stop 8: Back to Greenway Restaurante (tour ends where you started)

You finish back at Greenway Restaurante 100% Pet Friendly for a short wrap-up time of about 5 minutes. The tour ends back at the meeting point.

That return-to-start flow is practical: no extra transit, no ending at a far-away pickup point, and no wondering where to regroup.

How long it really takes: plan for about 2 hours

The tour is listed at roughly 2 hours (approx.). You’ll also see that it includes 2 hour Segway training and tour, which suggests you should treat this as a compact experience from training through the last monument stop.

Also, do a reality check on your expectations. Some people feel the ride time can run closer to two hours than a longer half-day format. The structure you’ll experience is consistent with brief stops—many are only 5 minutes, with a couple at 10 minutes—so the rhythm is more “glide and view” than “slow sightseeing.”

If you love quick hits and photos, you’ll likely feel satisfied. If you want museum time or long walks at each landmark, you’ll want to pair this with separate time later.

Gear, comfort, and the rider checklist

This tour is strict about safety and control, and it’s worth reading the requirements before you go.

You’ll receive helmet and safety vest. Elbow and knee pads are optional, but you might want them if they make you feel more secure. The tour also includes a raincoat in case of rain and a first aid kit is available as part of the tour setup.

Comfort-wise, the advice is straightforward:

• wear comfortable clothing
• use tennis shoes
• bring sunglasses, sunblock, and a cap
• skip high heels or anything that makes stepping on and off difficult

Now the big eligibility rules:

• minimum age is 12 years
• children 18 and under must be accompanied by an adult
• you must be able to step on/off quickly without assistance
• pregnant women will not be allowed
• rider weight must be 100 to 250 pounds (45 to 113 kg)
• you should have moderate physical fitness
• the tour operates in light rain

There’s also a “COVID free” note on the listing details, which you’ll likely appreciate if you’ve been trying to reduce uncertainty on travel days.

Price and value: what $70.70 buys you

At $70.70 per person, the value comes from the bundle, not from one single attraction.

You’re paying for:

• Segway training and tour
• a professional guide
• helmet and safety vest (and optional pads)
• a raincoat if weather shifts
• photos taken during the tour
• a first aid kit
• English-speaking guiding
• a route that strings together multiple major landmarks on Paseo de la Reforma

What’s not included:

• gratuities (optional, with a suggested 15% to 20%)
• Museo Nacional de Antropologia admission (not included)

So if you want a fast, efficient way to see several headline monuments plus a museum area in one go, this can feel fair. If your priority is deep museum time, you may end up spending more later to satisfy that craving.

One more note: this tour runs with a maximum of 6 travelers, and that small cap is part of what justifies the price. It keeps the tour from turning into a long conveyor belt of strangers.

Who this Segway tour fits (and who should skip it)

This tour is a great fit if you:

• want an easy-to-learn Segway experience (training happens at the start)
• like seeing multiple major landmarks without committing to hours of walking
• prefer a guided overview where stops are structured and time is managed
• are comfortable with short stop durations (lots of 5-minute view points)

You might skip it if:

• you can’t meet the step on/off without help requirement
• you’re not within the 100 to 250 lbs weight range
• you’re pregnant
• you want extended museum entry time, especially since Museo Nacional de Antropologia admission isn’t included and the on-stop time is brief

Also, the Segway setup favors people with stable mobility and comfort on a standing vehicle. If you’re unsure, it’s worth thinking about how stepping on and off quickly will feel for you.

Should you book this Reforma Avenue Segway tour?

If you’re the type who enjoys a “see a lot, learn the basics, get photos” day, this Segway tour is a strong choice. The route focuses on Paseo de la Reforma landmarks and pairs that with quick, organized stops—plus safety gear and training are included.

Book it if you want:

• structured sightseeing in a small group of six
• a guided route in English
• a short, memorable way to experience major monuments, from El Angel de la Independencia to the Monument to the Revolution

Consider something else if your top goal is museum time inside Museo Nacional de Antropologia. The stop is short and the ticket isn’t included, so you’ll likely want to plan a separate museum visit if you want the full experience.
