Chris was a fantastic tour guide. He is so knowledgeable of the park and gave our tour in both French and English to accommodate all tour members. He also took excellent photos! Thank you Chris. Definitely a highlight of our trip to Madrid. Highly recommend.

Hice el tour con mi hija adolescente, fue maravilloso, recorrer el parque El Retiro de esta manera es genial!! Te llevan y cuentan cosas que si lo haces solo no te enteras. Súper divertido y entretenido. El guía lo más!! No recuerdo su nombre, solo que es venezolano, pero muy amable y atento. Repetiría sin dudas.

My friend and I had never done Segway before. Jose gave us a lesson beforehand and it was easier than we imagined. The office was easy to find and as It had been raining, Jose provided us with ponchos which was handy. The tour with Jose was informative and fun. The park is so beautiful and due to its size (5 kms ) we wouldn't have seen all the major attractions if we had done it on foot. I cannot recommend this company and Jose enough. Such fun !
