Discovering Madrid’s Largest Park on a Segway

When most visitors think of Madrid, images of historic palaces, bustling plazas, and world-renowned art museums spring to mind. But for those craving a different view of the city’s natural side, the 2-hour private off-road Segway tour of Casa de Campo offers a fantastic alternative. This sprawling green expanse — spanning over 1,700 hectares — is a favorite retreat for locals seeking escape from urban life, and now you can experience it in an exhilarating new way.

Starting from the Letras District, near Anton Martin metro station, the experience kicks off with a brief training session. The guide will ensure you’re comfortable on the Segway x2, which is designed to handle various terrain types—think dirt paths, grassy stretches, and gentle inclines. Once ready, the adventure begins across the park’s diverse natural landscapes, from wooded areas to open fields, revealing hidden corners often missed on foot.

The Journey Through Casa de Campo

The tour’s highlight is its off-road nature. Unlike standard city Segway tours, this experience invites you to test the machine’s capabilities over unpaved surfaces. The Segway x2 offers extra stability and power, making it suitable for more adventurous terrain, which we definitely appreciated. We loved the way the Segway handled uneven ground, making us feel both safe and invigorated.

Your guide will share stories about the park’s history, its blend of natural beauty and recreational facilities. Many reviewers have expressed appreciation for guides like Ronan and Carlos, who not only make you feel confident but also enrich your understanding of Madrid’s outdoor spaces. One traveler raved: “He gave us great tips for Madrid in addition to our tour,” highlighting how these guides add genuine local insight.

Authenticity and Flexibility

This tour emphasizes personalized experiences. The group size is kept small (or private, as booked), ensuring you get tailored attention. The flexibility to choose Casa de Campo or other routes, such as Madrid’s river area, allows for customization based on your interests — a real plus for groups with specific preferences.

Practical Details and What to Expect

The price of $65 offers good value considering the inclusion of all necessary equipment, a helmet, training, and insurance. No hidden fees here — just straightforward pricing that covers a memorable outdoor activity. Since transportation isn’t included, plan to arrive at the meeting point by metro or taxi.

The tour duration is exactly 2 hours, enough time for a thorough exploration without fatigue. Expect a balance of scenic riding, quick stops for pictures, and informative commentary. The group size of 12 or more makes it lively but not overwhelming.
