This was so much fun. The guide was awesome, really caring and fun. He was very safety conscious too which was reassuring. Great way to see the beautiful Biarritz but above all else, a whole lot of fun. We are still smiling about it now. So thank you, and if you are reading this, book with confidence, you'll have a really great time. So good in fact that my daughter (aged 18) said it was the highlight of her trip. That's a fine recommendation.
Manis is a marvel. Fantastic experience with the most stunning scenery in Biarritz. Informative knowledgable and fun guide. We had a hoot and Manis is hilarious x
Excelent guide, the tour was so great, I think we would not have met the city otherwise. Really glad we did it!!!
We arrived at the tour at 12 and Manis gave us a full lesson on how to use the segways and ensured we were comfortable on them before we went out on the road! We had an amazing tour for a few hours. He brought us all around Biarritz stopping at points of interest and showed us Anglet too which was beautiful! The coastline was amazing and beaches were beautiful. The tour was great fun and interesting. Manis was great fun and made it really interesting. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour you get to see a lot of Biarritz and learn of the history of the place while doing it on a segway which is so relaxing !
We spent a very enjoyable day and had lots of laughs with Manis who is a great teacher and leader. The Segway’s were great fun and can be quickly mastered with Manis’ help. We travelled around Biarritz with lots of commentary from Manis in his mixture of English and French and learned a lot about the area. The family loved this trip so we would highly recommend.
Manis is a great guide. He made sure we were comfortable with the segways before setting off. He g he as a brilliant local knowledge and made the tour very interesting and enjoyable. Highly recommended.
All the information about the history of Biarritz. We asked for English Guide but unfortunately the guide spoke very bad English. We find the segways not very stable. In the Netherlands thee are better segways. But further We had a great time.
Nice man but not again.he waa late to pick us up from his van.very friendly person but extremely overpriced
The guy was very animated. But his English was fair. I still recommend the tour because it’s a cool way to get around town and see a lot.
unique tour with Segway in Biarritz , easy to book and participate, our guide was very frienly and knowledge, very nice experience during sunny day in biarritz
A great and sporty way to explore Biarritz. It was a lot of fun for my family and me. Despite initial concerns, riding the Segway worked out great. Our guide took a lot of time for us and we were able to see a lot of Biarritz. Highly recommended.
Great experience with Manis. Clear explanations for safe handling. Lots of anecdotes throughout the route. Thanks, it was great!!!
Manis is a very good instructor; visiting Biarritz by Gyropod is a very good experience. Thank you.
Great ride, we enjoyed!! This guided tour allowed us to discover the city of Biarritz and its history. thanks to Manis
We made a beautiful discovery of Biarritz with Manis and his gyropods. They are very easy to use and it is a very fun activity. Manis is a pleasant guide who explained to us the elements of Basque culture and the attractions of the city of Biarritz.
Manu is super friendly and explains very well. It reassures everyone and makes sure everyone is safe. Thank you.
Great guide, great time and beautiful discovery! Manis was able to put my daughters who had never practiced gyropods in confidence! And in the end, they wouldn't stop! Thank you very much! I recommend 100%!!!
Very dynamic and informative tour! I recommend. Manis was able to put us in confidence, and thanks to his good mood, we had a great time with family. Do it again next time!
Great walk from Biarritz, I learned about the history of the city. The guide is full of good humor and energy!!!!!
Unusual discovery of Biarritz by gyropod, experience at the top with our guide with souvenir video: I recommend!!
Very good experience with good safety training and we learn a lot about the history of the city. Thank you for everything
Quel plaisir de passer plusieurs heures à découvrir le segway. Je dirais que Maris est un ambassadeur culturel des plus passionnés et attachants. Il a été très diligent dans ses instructions et a fourni une visite très instructive. Je recommande vivement cette façon unique de voir la vieille ville de Barritz, tant aux habitants qu'aux visiteurs.
Guide exceptionnel qui nous raconte l’histoire et nous fait découvrir le Pays Basque… Le premier pas sur le gyropode est paniquant, mais on nous met vite en confiance. À faire absolument en arrivant à Biarritz!!!
Excellent Segway ride with family. Our Guide Manis introduced us to the coast of Biarritz with lots of explanations. That was really great. I recommend this activity.
Manis is very Ace, a good couple initiation and me relatively Novice it was not won... Excellent walk despite the sullen weather.Anecdotes and explanations of visiting the city of Biarritz very interesting. We loved this first gyropod experience with Gyrozone it's great. I highly recommend it.
Parfait pour réaliser un TEAM BUILDING sportif, ludique tout en visitant cette magnifique ville de BIARRITZ.
Manis is incredible, he will show you around Biarritz like no other! All this with joy and good humor! Thank you 👏👏👏👏
Very nice tour of Biarritz with great explanations of the history of the city. The views are magnificent. You can take advantage of it to take beautiful photos.
le guide était excellent, il nous a appris nous déplacer en segway pour la première fois, il avait beaucoup de patience. il nous a raconté un tas de choses intéressantes sur la ville. on le recommande vivement
Excellent way to discover Biarritz and a piece of its history! The guide was patient and friendly! I recommend
An unforgettable experience with a great guide! A first for us, the guide was patient, very pedagogical. We never thought we'd be able to!
As his first name means, Manis is a persevering man who gives himself the means to get his way. And its ends are the safety of participants and those around them. Then he is clear and firm, but always benevolent. He also has the malicious look that goes with it when he remonstrates with you. In short, he is a beautiful person and the tour was pleasant. As for the handling of the gyropod, it’s a different story: to each its sensations (or not). But after my bowl, I understood and finally found my pleasure...
A pleasant, fun and original way to go around the beaches and must-see places of this beautiful city of Biarritz. No problem of traffic jam and safe.
With Manis' good advice, it was off to a 2h tour through Biarritz and its history in gyropod. Machine easy to tame, the first moments a little stressful but we get used to it quickly. A great ride with adequate time. Manis answers all questions with pleasure and likes to pass on. Little extra on 1 stop Basque ball, and several great views. I recommend this unusual visit. Thanks, Manis. Very good time
First experience with these mini gyropods (we had already tested but on a larger version). After a quick takeover, we left for this 2h walk to take an unusual tour of Biarritz with a magnificent weather. Frankly very nice. Manis is careful about our safety. It gives all the explanations to understand what we see on our journey (and much more). Do not hesitate to ask him questions, he will be happy to answer them (especially on surfing...). I think that depending on the audience, he adapts the course to avoid being stuck in a situation. The gyropod is a real way to walk and walk for miles while remaining fun and relaxed. We highly recommend this activity with Manis who will make you spend a very pleasant time. We were lucky to be able to share a friendly moment with him then in front of a few bubbles. Thank you Manis for this afternoon that opened our stay here in the most beautiful way (and thank you for all your anecdotes about Basque culture).
I recommend to my friends to go giropod it's really great the ride on Biarritz by giropod the person who explains is top
The guide Super Manis The unbeatable journey The unforgettable experience Biarritz beautiful and historic city appreciated during the 2 hour tour
The concept is great to visit a place, even if there are people we sneak everywhere and that's great. The gyropod ensures climbs as well as descents, easy and efficient handling. Not to mention the good humour of Manis, our guide. He knows the area well and brings additional interest to the ride. Thank you Manis for this great time. Sylvie, Noémie and Evan
A beautiful walk that allows you to discover as many places in Biarritz in 2 hours, in a fun and original way Handling the gyropod fairly easy Thank you Manis for your good humor and availability!
Walk made on July 9, 2022 under a beautiful sky!:) Good pedagogy to feel good for the 120 minute walk. We were a small group and completely new, with difficulties for my cousin... And yet the ride was really interesting on the information of the city of Biarritz... To do to discover the city and the gyropod!!:)
What better way to visit a city than by gyropod! Fun and unusual experience with an original means of transport and a friendly guide that take you both to the 4 corners of the city through the panoramic views, heritage and eras that make the history of Biarritz!
Visita agradable a Biarriz. Vimos bastante de la ciudad. El guía muy agradable y amable. Nos reímos mucho
It is a very fun activity to do as a family and the best way to visit the city. The guide first taught us how to handle the segway well and then taught us all the main corners of Biarritz. He was with us for 2 hours, always watching over us and that we didn't fall or anything happened. He also made us photos and a video. The only downside (and I feel sorry for him because he’s such a nice guy) is that we had asked for guidance in Spanish and he barely spoke Spanish. We had to understand how we could with the little French we know. Otherwise, an experience of 10.
Great walk to discover Biarritz. We enjoyed this moment...anecdotes and explanations of the monuments of the city as a bonus. Thanks.
Excellent introduction to Gyropod thanks to Manis and his good humor that put us at ease from the start. Great experience to do again!!!! 🥰🤗
Super happy with this ride. That was very nice. The gyropod is easy to handle. Thank you, Manis!
We had good training in the use of the gyropod by a passionate, caring and humorous instructor. We had a great morning with him and besides it was my birthday.
Unforgettable guided tour with a guide at the top who knows the city very well and tells great anecdotes about the Eugenie building, the coastline in the broadest sense! I had a great afternoon I left with memories full of heads!! 😊💪
Great experience with teenagers 14 and 16 years old. A guide at the top, good explanations to take the camera for a visit of almost 3 hours and with a smile! Thank you!
