Meet your guide in central Madrid, don the supplied helmet, and hop aboard your electric Segway. Get instructions on riding your personal transporter, and after a training run, set off behind your guide.
Spin around cobblestoned Plaza Mayor, once the scene of bullfights and public executions, and ride through the Literature Quarter (Barrio de las Letras), the former home of great Spanish writers like Cervantes.
Glide down the pedestrianized Calle Huertas, and stop at the Prado, Spain’s national art museum. Then, pass the Church of San Jerónimo el Real into Buen Retiro, Madrid’s beautiful main park, a favorite relaxation spot of Madrileños.
Once inside, explore the wide, tree-lined avenues and ornamental gardens, making regular stops to admire the sights and hear their stories from your guide. Circle the Retiro lake, with its Crystal Palace and the colonnaded monument to King Alfonso XII, and view highlights like the Statue of the Fallen Angel, a 19th-century sculpture depicting Satan.
After soaking up the park's greenery, head back into the city streets. Navigate the bustling Puerta del Sol, and pass landmarks like the Alcalá Gate and Cibeles Palace before your tour finishes at Plaza de San Miguel.
