Itinerary

Meet your knowledgeable guide in a central location in Madrid as the setting sun begins cast an incandescent glow over Spain’s captivating capital. Listen to a comprehensive safety briefing then step onto your state-of-the-art Segway to begin your darkened discovery.

Circle the towering Almudena Cathedral and weave your way into the resplendent neighborhood of Los Austrias to witness the extravagant evidence of the Hasburg dynasty; marvel at the fabulous façade of the Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real) and enjoy the enticing aromas exuding from surrounding mesones, typical Castilian restaurants serving sublime specialties.

Next, ride up to Plaza de Oriente and the Temple of Debod and enjoy some stunning panoramic views of the city. Once you've gotten some stunning landscape photos to show friends and family back home, ride back down to Plaza de España, home to the epic Cervantes Monument, a statue dedicated to the legendary author of Don Quixote.

Finally, soar past the city’s luminescent opera house, Teatro Real, listening out for the emotion song of world-class performers. Bid your guide and group farewell at the tour’s departure point then set out into the night to enjoy Madrid’s exuberant offerings.

Fun excursion with a little history

sweetbugmom, Jul 2022

The tour was great. It was a fun way to see the city and we were able to learn a little about the history. Mario was very patient with my daughter who took a bit of time to get her balance and adjust to the Segway. I would totally recommmend!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and learned a bit about our city's history. It was a pleasure helping your daughter get comfortable on the Segway—she did a great job! We hope to see you and your family again soon.

Very good tour.

Mohamed_R, Aug 2019

This was a very good tour. Madrid by Segway is alway Very nice. It has excellent places to visit. Xavier is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. I fully recommend it.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you so much for the recommendation! We agree—Madrid is a city that deserves to be seen from every corner, and the Segway is the perfect way to do it. I’ll make sure to pass your compliments along to Xavier; he loves sharing the secrets of the city with our guests. Hope to see you on your next trip to Madrid!

Segways are Awesome

Stefani_F, Jul 2019

Segway tours are the best and funnest way to see a city. We had 2 Segway tours we had in Madrid and will definitly be back for more.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Wow, thank you so much! We couldn't agree more—there's no better way to explore Madrid than on two wheels. We are so happy to have had you join us twice, and we can't wait to welcome you back for your third tour! We'll be ready for you!

juliaanicholson, Jul 2017

This was my first time riding a Segway, which was fun. They give you a few minutes to get used to it before starting the tour. Our tour guide provided limited information about the places we stopped and it was not very easy to understand his English. In fairness, I was more focused on making sure I didn't run into anything or anyone than enjoying the different areas we stopped to view.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience and for giving the Segway tour a try for the first time. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed learning how to ride and appreciated the practice time before the tour began. We’re sorry to hear that the explanations at some stops felt limited and that understanding the guide’s English was challenging. Clear communication and engaging storytelling are very important to us, and your feedback has been shared with our team to help us improve this aspect of the experience. We truly appreciate your honest comments, as they help us continue refining our tours for future guests. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear you had a blast on the Segways. It’s definitely one of the funnest ways to get around, right? We’ll be sure to tell Jeremy that he made your tour even better—he’ll be happy to hear it. Come back and see us again soon for more laughs!"

robert_p, Jun 2016

Fun and informative and you get to see parts of Madrid that you wouldn't have time to see on foot. And, the Segway is VERY easy to ride!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"We're so happy you enjoyed the tour! Madrid has so many hidden gems, and we love showing our guests parts of the city they might otherwise miss. It's great to hear you felt comfortable on the Segways right away. Thanks for the recommendation!"

Jane N, Feb 2016

This tour was fantastic! The training on how to ride was excellent, the machines performed beautifully, and because we were the only ones that night, our guide let us suggest what we wanted to see. He spoke excellent English and provided great commentary and history on the area. I am 64 and my husband 72, and it was so much fun to ride up and down the hills at the end of the day! We went all the way to the Temple of Debod to watch the sunset!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We absolutely love hearing that you and your husband had such a great time. You are the perfect example that adventure has no age limit! We are so glad you got to enjoy that beautiful sunset at the Temple of Debod—it’s truly one of the best spots in the city. It was a pleasure hosting you!"

The tour guide was very good...

Parminder S, Feb 2016

The tour guide was very good. Although there were times he kept going on about the history of Madrid. Overall it was a great experience. If you are going on the Segways in January/February take some gloves. It was pretty cold whizzing around on them. Very easy to use. A great way to view the city on the first day. We covered loads of ground as we went back to a few places by foot and the distance is quite far.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"We're so happy you enjoyed 'whizzing around' Madrid with us! You are absolutely right—gloves are a must-have for those winter tours. It's great to hear that the tour helped you get your bearings so you could revisit your favorite spots later. We hope to see you again during a warmer season!"

We did the segway tour in the...

Andrew T, Aug 2015

We did the segway tour in the evening as a group of 8 family members. The guide was very helpful and reassuring during the familiarisation session. During the tour he explained things in a very good manner and had a good level of English. He took us to some very good attractions, including the Royal Palace and Cathederal. I would deffinately book this again as it gave us a good insight to some nice attraction quickly, without getting too tired.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you so much! It was a pleasure hosting your family of 8. We know how tricky it can be to move a large group around a busy city, so we're glad the Segways made it easy and fun for everyone. We'll be sure to tell your guide how much you appreciated his help at the Royal Palace and Cathedral. We can't wait to see you all again for another tour!"

Even though I'd visited the places...

scott h, May 2015

Even though I'd visited the places before the info the tour guide gave made it all seem brand new. Seeing as my wife and I had never been on a segway the training was great.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you so much! We love hearing that we could show you a new side of Madrid, even for places you’ve visited before. Our guides take great pride in sharing those 'hidden' stories that make the city feel brand new. We’re also glad you and your wife felt confident after the training—it’s easier than it looks, right? Hope to see you both again!"

Despite selecting the English option...

Pooja K, May 2015

Despite selecting the English option we were placed in a mixed group. The tour guide spent twice the amount of time translating between two languages hence less time on the Segway's and fewer sites visited.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you for your honest feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience didn't meet your expectations regarding the group language. We always strive to provide separate language tours whenever possible, and we're sorry that the combined translation took away from your riding time and the number of sites visited. We will review our booking process to ensure this doesn't happen again. We’d love the chance to make it up to you if you visit Madrid again."

Kerry B, Jan 2015

This was a fantastic tour and a great way to experience a slice of Barcelona.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra muchísimo que te haya parecido un tour fantástico. Aunque estamos en Madrid y no en Barcelona, nos encanta saber que disfrutaste de ese 'trocito' de nuestra ciudad con nosotros. ¡Esperamos que vuelvas pronto a visitarnos en la capital!"

Jeanette J, Sep 2014

So much fun! Guide was knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our requests. Only downside was that the starting point was a bit hard to find. Better directions please!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour! Thank you for mentioning the difficulty with the meeting point—we take this very seriously and will look into providing better maps and instructions immediately. We’re glad that once the tour started, everything was fantastic. Thanks for helping us improve!"

Erickson M, Dec 2013

I enjoyed this so much. My guide wasn't the best in terms of depth of knowledge of the sites we visited, but i still had a lot of fun. It's a fun way to view the city. I recommend it.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you for your review! We’re so happy to hear that you had a lot of fun and that you’d recommend the experience. We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the depth of historical information; we are always looking to improve our storytelling, and we'll use your comments to help our guides sharpen their knowledge.

Oleksiy K, Sep 2013

Great and very interesting tour around the city center. Waiting the moment to repeat again.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you so much! We are thrilled that you found the city center tour interesting. We can't wait to have you back for another ride. See you again soon!"

This was an incredibly fun tour...

Farnaz M, Aug 2013

This was an incredibly fun tour covering the majority of the best sites in Madrid. I loved travelling through the cobbled lane ways and side streets, the sedgways themselves are very fast and intuitive. The guides make sure that your fully prepared before racing through the streets, so you need not worry if you've never used one before. The guides are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and spent much more time with my friend and I than the 90 minute tour we initially paid for. This is a brilliant experience to have in Madrid, it is also much better priced than most sedgway tours we found. Do it, you wont regret it.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"¡Muchísimas gracias por una reseña tan increíble! Nos hace muy felices saber que disfrutaron explorando los callejones de Madrid y que se sintieron seguros y bien preparados. En nuestro equipo nos apasiona lo que hacemos, así que cuando vemos a alguien disfrutando tanto, no nos importa dedicarles un poco más de tiempo. ¡Fue un placer tenerlos con nosotros y gracias por recomendarnos como la mejor opción calidad-precio!"

I would recommend this tour for...

Charles_N, Aug 2013

I would recommend this tour for those who want a different perspective of Madrid. It does a good job of combining fun with history while on the move. Usually with a walking tour you may get tired after some time, but since it is done via the segway I think getting tired is tough to do. The one thing I wished was that the tour was a bit longer. Our tour was 1hr but I think 1.5hrs is the sweet spot.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

"Thank you for the great feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the 'different perspective' of the city. We appreciate your note on the timing; we always aim for that perfect balance of fun and facts. Next time, we'd love to have you on our 1.5hr or 2hr tours so you can see even more of the city without lifting a foot! Hope to see you again soon."
