What You Can Expect
Madrid Segway Tour
Pass by Almudena Cathedral, recently completed in 1992 after more than 110 years of construction. Although the church is relatively new, this spot has been a place of worship since the city's earliest settlement.
The Palacio Real or Royal Palace, was the brainchild of Felipe V, the first of the Bourbon Kings. His plan was to build an architectural masterpiece to rival its European counterparts. What you now see is an Italianate baroque colossus boasting around 2800 rooms. It is still used for official receptions, however the current King does not reside in the Palace. You will also see the beautiful Sabatini gardens in honor of Francesco Sabatini, an Italian architect who worked a great deal on the Royal Palace.
See the amazing Templo de Debod, a 4th Century-BC Egyptian temple which was saved from the rising waters of Lake Nasser and sent block by block to Spain in 1970.
Cruise through the famous Plaza de Espana where you will see a statue of Spanish writer, Cervantes. At the writer's feet is a bronze of his most well known characters, Don Quijote and Sancho Panza.
Return to the heart of Madrid, Plaza Mayor built in typical Herrerian style. Formerly a center for Royal festivities and Bull fighting, the square was burnt to the ground in 1790 but, was subsequently resurrected. Today the square is lined with shops and alfresco cafes, which makes it the perfect place to end your tour.

This tour is absolutely the BEST way to see the city!! We were a group of 4 over 50's, 1 w/experience, 3 w/o experience. The pre-tour safety training was excellent, covered every possibility and we didn't leave until all were comfortable on the machine! Enjoyed the 1 1/2 hour tour so much we decided to stay an extra hour and see the rest of the City! Our Guide Nicholas was so engaging, very knowledgeable and extremely safety conscious -being a safety instructor myself that was important to me-he made sure we were never put into situations that might cause problems and that instilled confidence in all of us! Highly recommended in fact, going to schedule this now in every city we visit in future. Hint: in Madrid be very careful with the knee height curb barriers as you pass thru them -the wheels on the Segway are wider then you are -easy to forget when you're having fun! LOL- and Boy did we have some fun, Thanks Nicholas!!
