Great experience - I was travelling with my 2 kids. We booked a tour through the park, but because the park was closed due to the wind, we did a (private) tour through the old town instead. Our guid Chris was wonderful. The segways are very fun to ride.

Great way to see the sights! - Fantastic way to see the city, especially with 2 teenage boys. The tour guide was lovely, she gave us a good overview of the history behind the sights, and took great photos!! I would definitely recommend, and will be looking to do this again on our next city break.

Fantastic Tour! - This was our first time ever on Segways but Alan our guide, was absolutely phenomenal. He was so clear in his instructions, enthusiastic and just a brilliant guide. It’s always so nice when you have a tour where the guide is in awe of his city and Alan was a true testament to this! He even recommended other things to do during our trip here. We were able to see the palace, cathedral and Egyptian ruins all whilst taking in the rich culture Madrid has to offer. We would definitely do this tour again!

Segway should be an awesome way to see and experience Madrid. - Tour was ok, but could have been better. We've done lots of Segway tours around the world. This tour lacked content. The good part was that we got to cover lots of distance on the Segways. Riding through Casa de Campo Park was awesome. Where the tour failed was specific detail in and around the city.
