Steps from the Promenade des Anglais, at 2 rue Halévy, Mobilboard Nice is the pioneer and reference for Segway guided tours on the Côte d'Azur. With a fleet of over 50 Segway gyropods, 70 bicycles and 40 electric scooters — the region's largest — the agency is open year-round, 7 days from 9:30am to 6:30pm (except 1 January and 25 December). It is also one of the rare Nice activities included in the French Riviera Pass (free 30-minute initiation).
The Mobilboard concept rests on a simple promise: making city discovery playful, ecological and memorable. The Segway — this self-balancing electric gyropod — allows covering in one hour what would take three hours on foot, while keeping eyes on the monuments rather than one's shoes. Within a few minutes of initiation, visitors master piloting and head off to discover Nice in convoy with their guide.
Four durations available: 1h (Promenade, Masséna, Cours Saleya — €35/person), 1h30 (in-depth Old Nice — €45/person), 2h — the most popular — (Promenade + Old Nice + Castle Hill with panoramic view — €55/person), 3h (complete Nice + hidden quarters — €75/person). All groups limited to 8 people maximum to ensure individual support. Guides speak French and English. A 1h Villefranche-sur-Mer extension is available for enthusiasts.
For independent visitors, Mobilboard also offers self-guided rental of Segways (€17/h), classic bicycles (€10/h) and electric bikes (e-bikes) — ideal for exploring the Promenade des Anglais at one's own pace.
1h tour €35. 2h tour €55. 3h tour €75. Classic bike rental €10/h. Segway rental €17/h. French Riviera Pass: free 30-min initiation + €12/person for 1h extension.
Highlights: Mobilboard Nice is consistently cited as one of Nice's most fun experiences — 'unmissable!'. Guides Loric, Mouhib and Honoré are regularly cited by name with enthusiasm. The Castle Hill ascent by Segway — impossible otherwise on foot in one hour — is unanimously described as the highlight. The small group format (8 max) ensures perfect attention and pace.
Areas for improvement: The Segway experience is only available from age 14 and minimum 45kg. Some visitors would have liked to stop longer in the quarters visited. Prices are in the standard tourist range.
Overall: Mobilboard Nice is the best way to see Nice quickly and joyfully — an activity recommended to everyone from 14 to 70, on the first or last day of a stay.
