WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Plaza Mayor
This stop is made in the Plaza del Comercio, where three squares converge; Plaza Mayor, Plaza de Santa Cruz and the Plaza del Comercio itself where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is located, the former prison of the aristocracy. There our guide will tell us the history of La Plaza Mayor and how from being a suburb of Madrid it becomes the main square of the capital.
2. Plaza de Ramales
In the Plaza de Ramales there was the church of San Jua, belonging to the order of Santiago. This was demolished to convert the space into a plaza by Jose Bonaparte, among the rubble it is thought that the remains of Velazquez are found.
3. Mirador de la Cornisa del Palacio Real
We will walk along a narrow street to discover a viewpoint that will amaze us with its views, a space from where we can observe from a special point the entire historical-artistic complex that represents the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral. Awesome.
4. Catedral de Sta Maria la Real de la Almudena
At the viewpoint we will have the privilege of observing this building that is linked to the Royal Palace through the Plaza de la Armería, which serves for the representation of different official acts and events. This cathedral, which took 110 years to build, is oriented from North to South instead of East to West like most Christian temples. We will tell you their secrets
5. Plaza de la Villa
Splendid square that houses the true flavor of the Madrid of the Austrian monarchy. In it we find buildings such as the Torre de los Lujanes or the Casa de Cisneros. The old Madrid City Hall was located in this square, now in the Cibeles Palace.
6. Puerta del Sol
On our way back we will border La Puerta del Sol, the center of Madrid and Spain. This square is located the Post Office Building, where the tower with the clock is located that every year offers us the chimes of New Year's Eve.

Jocelyn was a great tour guide! We booked a private tour and had a wonderful time seeing the city gardens and all the unique things in the gardens. The city tour was equally enjoyable.

We loved the experience! We were able to discover Madrid in a fun way and our guide Aitor was great! We were a little afraid at first to get to grips with the segway but ultimately it's very easy to use it!

Thank you so very much for a marvelous Segway tour yesterday. Diana was a fabulous guide, so encouraging, positive, informative, and creative with finding alternative solutions when the Madrid Day festivities blocked the normal routes.
We will long remember our wonderful day in Madrid on Segways.

This was probably the most exciting part of my Madrid trip!

Ther first 10 mins of the tour were spent on understanding how to use the Segway (was my first time) and balancing. While I was initially apprehensive, you get the hang of it pretty soon and learn to shift your weight intuitively.
We did the 1.5 hour tour which felt too short for how much fun we actually had! There is an option to either do the historical tour through the city OR the Retiro park tour. I would highly recommend the Retiro Park since you can drive the Segway freely without worrying about the traffic and also get great coverage of the massive park. Our tour guide was super friendly and the tour was largely focused on enjoying the sites on the Segway rather than listening to what the tour guide is saying.

I would highly recommend doing this!

A Fantastic way to see Madrid City ! I was a little apprehensive as I had never used a segway before- but under the instruction of Ronan our guide I quickly got the hang of it!
My husband and I booked a 2 hour sightseeing tour and were not dissapointed . We zoomed around parks, palaces, cathedrals, gardens and out of the way hidden gems, that we would never have found ourselves. Ronan our guide gave us the history and background all throughout the tour.

Segway is a great way to tour a city in a very short time. Our private guide was excellent and, despite the rain, sleet and cold, she managed to get us around the city before we called it a day 1.5 hours into our 2-hour tour. Having used a segway several times before made it easier to know what to do, and we were underway in no time. Unfortunately, Retiro Park was closed due to the dreadful weather but this did enable us to have a more in-depth tour of the city. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.
