The mobile assistants have been named Tourist Angles and are easily recognisable as they move around on Segways, the electric chariots that have a top speed of 6 km pH, which is equal to walking speed.

They are in the deep red colours of the city and carry its crest. Tourist Angles wear a yellow jumper with “Ask me” written on the back. Italian, English, Spanish, German, Chinese and Japanese speakers are in circulation ready to give information on taxi tariffs and details on the city’s top sights.

The service is available 7 days a week, holidays included.
