There are many ways to see Old San Juan; self guided walking tour, tour operated walking tour, take a taxi around the city, hop on and off the free trolley service, or you could check out this company; Segway Tours of Puerto Rico.
Now, please note that I have no affiliation with this company and I have never tried them; I just came across them while searching the internet and thought it was a cool idea.
For those of you that are unfamiliar with a Segway; it is a personalized transport system or as the company describes it “the world’s first self-balancing human transporter.” They are said to be easy to drive and to move forward or backward on the Segway you just lean slightly forward or backward. To turn left or right, you simply move the LeanSteer frame left or right.
So, back to the tour. The company offer two tours:
