About this tour
Glide along Madrid's riverside on a Segway, covering ground quickly while soaking in the parkland and urban waterfront scenery. This 90-minute guided tour skips the usual walking pace, letting you explore further than you'd manage on foot and pause to actually notice the surroundings. A local guide leads the way, and helmets are provided. It works for most fitness levels, families with prams, and older kids keen to try something different.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the starting point and receive a brief orientation on Segway handling—most people find the basics intuitive within minutes. The tour follows a fixed route hugging Madrid's riverside, moving at a gentle pace with natural stopping points for photos and information. You'll see parkland, bridges, and the river itself from angles you wouldn't catch walking. The experience is more about covering distance comfortably than adrenaline; expect a mix of smooth paths and light traffic areas. Prams and specialised infant seats mean even small children can join without holding the group back.
Good to know
Wear flat shoes and bring water. The route includes some tarmac and light urban paths, so worn or uneven surfaces are possible. Book transport to the meeting point beforehand—public transit is nearby if hotel pickup isn't selected. Children need supervision; an adult per child is the rule.
