Our Segway tour guide Chris was great! We loved having her show us around the park. She did a great job explaining history of the park and how it’s used today. She also took loads of pics and videos. Such a fun way to see the park!
Travelling on a segway on a hot day creates a gentle breeze so a Great trip around the park seeing the main sights
Liz was the best! Explained how to use the segways and let us practice - had such great energy and good vibes and we could tell she loved her job! She showed us the most important parts of the Retiro Park. This was most the fun thing I did while in Madrid. Highly recommend this tour :)
Very easy to learn. 10 year old granddaughter was so nervous at first and by the end asked to do another tour. Retiro Park is gorgeous!
Very nice and very accomodating. We booked our tour in the middle of sc heat wave. Magical tours called us ahead of time and offered to reschedule our tour later in the day to avoid the hotter part of the heat. Also, they kept this in the shade and provided water. Thank you very much. Tour is great excellent way to get around the park!!
We love segways! But our experience with this company was terrific in every way. Our guide was so enthusiastic about Retiro Park in Madrid and knowledgeable about the history and the plants and animals. He obviously loves the area and that energy came through to make our tour all the more enjoyable. It was beautiful and fun and I would encourage everyone with basic physical abilities to do the tour.
Excellent tour guide. Very good English and knowledgeable about park. Very good experience overall.
Let’s you see the main sights of the park swiftly including the animals, Peacocks, turtles, fish, black swans! Then afterwards you can go back to the bits you like to spend a bit more time.
I had never ridden a Segway before but Alan was a great teacher and an excellent guide. I had so much fun that I ended up extending my tour from just the park (which is gorgeous and a lovely ride) with a second hour touring Madrid. That part was a bit more exciting and challenging because you’re riding down the same roads as cars and pedestrians. If it’s your first time or if you have kids with you I’d recommend just sticking to the park but both were a blast
Very nice to do. Something different from walking or cycling. Our guide also gave great info about the park and nice places to see and eat in the city.
