What to expect
You'll spend 15 minutes getting comfortable on the Segway before heading out. Once balanced, the ride feels intuitive—lean forward to accelerate, back to brake. Your guide leads you through the city centre, stopping at key plazas and landmarks to explain their significance. Expect a leisurely pace with time to absorb each location rather than a race. The route keeps you on managed paths and quieter stretches where possible, though you'll share some busier streets. You'll cover distances that would take two hours on foot.
Good to know
Children must be at least 10 years old. Wear flat shoes with good grip. Madrid's heat can be intense in summer—early morning or late afternoon slots are more comfortable. Public transport stops are nearby if you need to leave early. No tips expected but appreciated.
