Great Experience! The guide was knowledgeable of the country history. She was also very patient with first time riders!
A great experience, we're glad you had a good time. We have highly trained and qualified guides. Thank you.
The staff was very attentive and even sent an extra person to accompany one of our participants who a little nervous about being on a Segway. Great experience and a fun way to see the city!
Thanks, Evelyn. The Segway is a great experience, always safe. Best regards
The guides are very friendly and despite the hot weather, the guides are careful to take us to the sounding places and carefully supplement us with water. 10 beautiful views along the way, detailed introduction, also introduced a lot of different attractions, good shopping, 10 minutes to appreciate 10 minutes of passion Especially in Li-Pei Park, walking is really too hard, waiting for a car to make the whole body become comfortable for 10 minutes
感謝您的評論，我們很高興您如此滿意地離開。 ，我們希望做好工作並收到這些評論
So much fun. Alejandra was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide! First time on a Segway and her lessons made us feel as though we were pro Segway riders. Strongly recommend seeing parts of Madrid on this tour!
That's great, of course the Segway is an easy, fun and safe piece of equipment if you follow the guidelines. We like that you like it.
Finding out how easy it is to ride a Segway. Having a great guide in Ronan. And some very memorable views of Madrid.
Excellent Plan, Very Good Service and Attitude, Especially Sara Guide Very cheerful and willing. The company very nimble, they answer easy, at the scheduled time it was raining and without problem they rescheduled. A very special greeting
Gracias Luis Guillermo por tu amable reseña. Siempre que se puede intentamos satisfacer al cliente, pero no siempre es posible reprogramar al ofrecer tours exclusivos. Saludos
It was a great fun experience using the segways, somewhat complicated but very fun. I loved getting to know the city in a historic place Pablo was the guide and was very friendly and answered all my doubts. It is worth the tour as you can travel a little faster the beautiful places of this city,
Muchas gracias por tu opinión, el segway es una equipo muy divertido, recorrer Madrid es genial y una gran experiencia. Nos encanta que hayas quedado satisfecho.
My wife injured her foot so we tried to cancel the night before but they would not even refund her ticket, much less our family. The rest of us walked it and had a much safer and enjoyable experience. Any tour that is that inflexible isn’t worth it. Every other tour we took in Madrid went out of their way to reach out and cater to any request or accommodation. We have done a lot of Segway tours but not with this company ever again
Hello Mr "PSL_Florida, Thanks for bothering to write a review, you have honored your warning. We are going to clarify certain information. First, VIATOR allows you to cancel up to 24 hours before. I insist Viator Second, you made a call at 11:30 p.m., at that time our staff is resting to be able to give an excellent service as indicated by Viator. I don't know why you want to cancel at that time. We also sleep or have dinner. Third, you spoke with Viator and they told you that it could not be unless the service provider accepts it and thus, at 9:00 AM on the same day 16, Viator requests it from us, never before. It is answered that according to Viator's conditions it is not possible, we are private tours, I SAY PRIVATE, and both the guide and the equipment are booked for you. You hold us responsible and it is Viator who has set the conditions and, from whom you have bought and paid. Fourth, you talk about refunding a ticket, but it is not like that you wanted a full refund, so we were waiting for the other 4 participants. If one person cannot, the other four will be able to do the tour. If they could walk they could have ridden a segway. Well, having said that, I think you didn't want to do the tour, I don't know why, you can't imagine the excuses they give us for not coming and then if they want to. I'm sorry about the situation, the segway tour is really fun and I wish your wife a speedy recovery. Thanks
We really liked it, an optimal turn of Madrid! The guide was very gentle and precise, the Segways super fun, it seems difficult but when you get used to it it is very nice. Experience to repeat!
Gracias Alessandra, el segway es un equipo muy divertido y para recorrer la ciudad es perfecto, vemos todo en poco tiempo. Gracias
We are a family of 5. After a long and tiring flight, we decided to rest in the city of Madrid for a day, and made the decision to take a segway tour as well. Despite the fact that this was our first tour on segways, we loved it! The staff are very friendly, polite, and informative (especially the guide), and they set a very relaxing atmosphere to tour the wonderful city. I would recommend this tour to everyone, and will make sure to come back!
