"I was lucky enough to have a private tour with Alan. This was my first time riding a Segway, but it was such a fun experience! The tour started with a tutorial on how to ride the Segway, and Alan explained everything very clearly and patiently, especially the most important part: how to safely get on and off the Segway. It was great exploring the park and visiting the main highlights that I otherwise might have missed or not seen. Alan also gave me some great recommendations for other places to visit in Madrid, which was a really nice bonus. Highly recommended!"

How to Read the Rankings
Four questions, in the order that actually narrows the field.
Park or City?
This decides almost everything else. Retiro is the calm, car-free option and the one to learn on. The historic centre has the monuments and the traffic.
How Long?
An hour is a sampler, 1.5 hours reaches past the obvious, two hours is a survey, three hours is the whole city — and tiring.
Shared or Private?
In Madrid the private premium is unusually small. If your group is two or more and anyone is nervous, private is worth the few dollars.
Check the Age Limit
Nine on Madrid Segway's routes, ten everywhere else. That single year decides which operators you can book at all.

The Rankings
The Best Madrid Segway Tours, by What You Want From the Day
There is no single best route — there is a best route per visitor, and seven categories that cover almost everyone.
Seventeen Segway tours are bookable in Madrid, run by five operators, priced from $32 to $69. Every price, rating and review count on this page is the operator’s live figure on GetYourGuide, and they move — a tour that is the cheapest today may not be next month.
There is no single best Madrid Segway tour. There is a best one per visitor, so this page ranks by what you want from the day.
Best overall: Iconic Retiro Park Segway Tour — $39
The Iconic Retiro loop has drawn 949 reviews at 4.8/5, which is more than double the next Segway tour in the city and more than every historic-centre route combined. That volume is the argument. An hour, eight monument stops, training, helmet, insurance and photographs included, and the easiest riding surface in Madrid.
It is also the only route that takes riders from nine years old, alongside the same operator’s downtown and river tours.
Best value: City Center Guided Segway Tour — $33
The lowest-priced guided centre tour in Madrid, and it holds 4.8/5 across 184 reviews — a rating most operators would want at twice the money. Ópera, Plaza Mayor, the Almudena and the Royal Palace, with the Templo de Debod on the 1.5-hour option. It also includes a bottle of water and free luggage storage while you ride, which is worth real money on a hotel-checkout day.
Cheapest: Madrid by Night — $32
The only Segway tour in Madrid that runs after dark, and the lowest starting price in the city. Its 4.9/5 comes from a smaller sample — 24 reviews — so treat it as promising rather than proven. Night riding is genuinely easier in the centre, because a Segway is barred from Madrid’s pavements and the roads carry less traffic once the deliveries stop.
Best private: Private Segway tour, Retiro Park and Centro Histórico — $40
717 reviews at 4.8/5, a private guide by default, your choice of one to three hours, and hourly departures from 10:00 to 20:00. It is also the only Madrid tour that sells the park and the old city together as a private ride. At a dollar above the shared Retiro loop, the private premium here is close to nonexistent — see the private tours page for all four.
Longest scheduled route: All Madrid Guided Segway Tour — $52, 3 hours
Three hours, and no other scheduled group departure in Madrid runs that long — the private Retiro and Centro Histórico tour can be booked to three hours, but only as a private ride. Barrio de las Letras, the CaixaForum, Retiro Park, the Paseo del Prado, Plaza Mayor, the Almudena, the Royal Palace and the Templo de Debod. Most of that route runs through the UNESCO-listed Landscape of Light, inscribed in July 2021. Book it if you have ridden a Segway before; three hours standing is not a first-timer’s tour.
Most distinctive: Private Off-Road Casa de Campo — $69
The only off-road Segway tour in Madrid, riding unsurfaced tracks inside Casa de Campo on all-terrain Segway X2s. It is also the most expensive. Casa de Campo is 1,722 hectares — the largest urban park in Spain, roughly five times Central Park — and was a royal hunting estate until 1931, which is why so much of it is still scrub rather than lawn.
Best for a second visit: Madrid River Segway Tour — $45
Madrid Río is the route tourists do not book, and it rides better than the centre. A seven-kilometre linear park along the Manzanares, opened in 2011 on top of the buried M-30 motorway, designed from the start around continuous walking and cycling routes. 4.96/5, though from only 32 reviews. Covered in full on the Madrid Río and Casa de Campo page.
What the ratings do and do not tell you
Six Madrid Segway tours rate 4.9 or better, and every one of them has fewer than 35 reviews. That is not evidence they are better than the 4.8 with 949; it is evidence that small samples sit high. Treat any rating under about 50 reviews as provisional.
Prices move too. The figures here were read from GetYourGuide’s live listings and every tour on this site carries free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, so booking early costs nothing.

"We absolutely loved the segway tour with Alan our guide. He greeted us with a huge smile which carried on throughout the tour. He explained how to use the segways very well & made sure that we were ok before we went on the tour around Retiro park. He looked out for us on the whole trip giving us tips on how to manage some of the terrain. He was very knowledgeable & showed us lots of interesting things. Unfortunately some of the things were closed but he showed us pictures on his phone so we would have a reference to what he was talking about. He gave us a reference point to his favourite restaurant & other places to visit in Madrid whilst we were there. We would definently recommend this tour to others."
"It was an amazing experience. loved every bit of it. Thank you for organising this. Segway holds a tiny bit of Madrid for us for sure. 🙏😄"
"Amazing, Alan and Phillipe were brilliant and made us all feel safe. Retiro park is beautiful. A fantastic time had by all."
"I enjoyed this tour more than I anticipated. As a first-time Segway rider, I was quite anxious at first, but Filipe, my tour guide, helped build my confidence and made the experience so enjoyable. My friend and I enjoyed every bit of this tour. I highly recommend it and look forward to doing it again on my next visit."
"Excellent tour around Retiro Park we saw some wonderful areas of the park i.e the rose garden and the beautiful lake that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen"
"Couldn’t be more happy with the tour and Andre! Andre is a charismatic full of energy guide that loves what he does !"

Best Madrid Segway Tours — FAQs
Prices, ratings, and how to read a 4.9 that only has twenty reviews.
For most visitors, the Iconic Retiro Park Segway Tour: 949 reviews at 4.8/5, an hour, $39, on the easiest riding surface in the city. For monuments, a historic-centre route; for both halves in one booking, the private Retiro and Centro Histórico tour; for something different, the off-road Casa de Campo ride.
From $32 to $69. Most fall between $33 and $45. The cheapest is the one-hour night tour of the centre; the most expensive is the two-hour private off-road Casa de Campo tour. Every figure here is the operator's live GetYourGuide price and can change.
Madrid by Night at $32 for one hour — the only after-dark Segway tour in the city. Among daytime routes, the City Center Guided Segway Tour at $33 is the lowest-priced guided option.
Six rate 4.9 or better, and all six have fewer than 35 reviews. The highest-rated tour with a large sample is the Iconic Retiro loop at 4.8/5 from 949 reviews. Treat any rating under about 50 reviews as provisional rather than proven.
Seventeen currently bookable, run by five operators: Madrid Segway, All Ways Madrid, SEGCITYTOURS, Wonder Tours Spain and Segcitytours' partner brands. Fifteen of them have pages on this site; two were left out for thin photo galleries or a single review.
Madrid Segway carries by far the deepest review history and is the only operator that accepts riders from nine years old. All Ways Madrid is the value option and includes water and luggage storage. SEGCITYTOURS runs the private and off-road routes on all-terrain X2s.
If you want to cover a walking tour's worth of city in half the time without tiring, yes. If you want to go inside the Royal Palace, eat at Mercado de San Miguel or walk the pedestrian lanes, no — a Segway is legally barred from those lanes. The format comparison works it through.
Retiro Park, at one hour. Wide, level, largely car-free paths, and a route built around stopping. Central Madrid means cobbles, kerbs and traffic, which is a lot to take on in your first twenty minutes on a Segway.
Yes. These are live GetYourGuide figures and operators adjust them by season and demand. Every tour on this site carries free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, so booking early costs nothing and locks the price you saw.
Always: the Segway, a helmet, a training session, a live guide and insurance. Sometimes: a bottle of water, photographs taken by the guide, luggage storage, or — on one route — chocolate and churros. Never: hotel pick-up, monument entry or gratuities.
All of them accept accompanied minors, but the floor differs: nine on Madrid Segway's Retiro, downtown and river routes, ten everywhere else. Height and weight limits apply too. See the family page.
One hour for a first ride, 1.5 hours to reach past the obvious in the centre, two hours for a proper survey, three hours only if you have ridden before. The duration comparison sets out exactly what each length covers.
