Experience Genoa in a completely new way with the Beer Segway Tour, a unique 2-hour adventure weaving through the labyrinthine streets of the Carruggi, Genoa’s historic quarter. This tour invites you to cruise effortlessly on a Segway through Europe’s largest pedestrian historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, while sampling some of the region’s finest craft beers.

Genoa, the capital of Liguria on Italy’s northwestern coast, is famed for its medieval architecture, maritime history, and vibrant street life. The Carruggi, meaning narrow streets in the Genoese dialect, form a dense network that defines the city’s soul. Here, Renaissance palaces stand alongside tucked-away wine bars and artisanal shops, enlivening every turn. This beer tour is remarkable not only because it combines local gastronomy with a fun mode of transport, but also because it unveils off-the-beaten-path breweries that offer distinct regional flavors like the fresh, aromatic variations typical to Liguria.
The tour operates every third Thursday of the month, appealing to friends and couples eager for a relaxed yet engaging experience. Alongside beer tasting, guests indulge in traditional local snacks that perfectly complement the brews, creating a genuine taste experience that echoes Genoa’s maritime and culinary heritage. Segway guides, knowledgeable about Genoa’s history and brewing culture, sprinkle stories about the city’s longtime beer scene and the significance of this area as a maritime powerhouse.
What sets this Beer Segway Tour apart is its blend of activity and indulgence, making it accessible to most travelers aged 16 and older. The glowing ambiance of the Carruggi in the early evening, combined with smooth Segway navigation, offers a lively urban adventure distinct from typical walking tours.
