Full description
Come and enjoy the newest and safest model of Segway, the "Genuine i2 Segways". Always in the safety hands of your guide, in this experience you will discover how to use your authentic Segway in a magical atmosphere that only the Madrid skyline can create. Your tour will be adapted to your skills levels. If this is your first time, you need only 5 to 10 minutes to become an expert. After the training, you will be shown the Madrid you want to see, including the main sights and secret nooks known only to the locals. Examples are the vantage point of the Mirador del Factor with its stunning panoramic views of the Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace, where the mountains make the perfect background. The tour will continue to the Almudena Cathedral. You will admire the temple and discover that it holds the title of being the last Spanish cathedral to be completed, and is one of the few cathedrals in Spain to suffer the ravages of the civil war, before being finally consecrated less than 25 years ago. You will travel through Habsburg Madrid, the oldest part of Madrid, containing beautiful narrow streets reminiscent of Madrid's most ancient times. If you like longer tours, the Retiro park is a perfect setting to feel how a perfect urban combination is created by the blend of city and nature. Glide through a green path of forests, historic gardens, parks and many more places to be discovered with the best guides on this Segway tour. Have fun and feel unique in your experience in a Premium Small Group tour.

Tour guide was friendly and so knowledgeable about the city- put our anxieties at rest when using the Segway for the first time. I was not able to go as I have a vestibular disease which makes me go dizzy - standing on a Segway didn’t help! However the company was amazing and refunded my ticket. My friend thought the tour was fabulous!

Alan was an excellent guide. He was patient and kind with our family as we learned how to ride the Segway for the first time. We appreciated his humor and knowledge. His immense love for Madrid is clear from his personal stories and recommendations. We can tell our teenagers loved the experience because they asked to take photos with Alan afterwards which they never want to.

The tour guide Alen was very nice and informative. He took the time to teach us how to use the segways and made sure we were comfortable. He was knowledgeable about the area. The directions to the place and the address provided bring you to the opera hall but not the actual place. “Near the exit of the opera house” had us waiting outside the opera house when it was actually down the street. Once we finally found it everything went smooth. Our friend tried to book after us but it said it was full even though there were only three of us, perhaps it locks after one group signs up? Also we didn’t get to go to Retiro park due to the roads being closed for the King, but Alen brought us to Castel de Campo which was beautiful as well. He gave us good recommendations for food and churros. Overall a great tour once you find it!
