Segway Tour

It has become a very fashionable way to get to know the city in recent years, although it is an experience that we recommend with caution and provided certain driving skills. The learning period before going out to the streets might not always be long enough to completely control the Segway, especially among the intense and not always civilized Madrid traffic. Still, it's a good way to explore parks and quiet areas devoid of traffic.
