★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 876 reviews · 1 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $28Our pick

Review of Madrid’s private electric tuk-tuk tour, with landmark stops, local guides, practical tips, pricing, and who should book.

“This tour was one of the best viator experiences I’ve had to date (and I’ve booked things on here for several US cities, Scotland, France, and Ireland). The Tuk Tuk is a unique and cool way to travel and the amount of info that you learn and the things that you see along the way are both incredible. Plus there are a couple of built in stops where you can refuel or use the bathroom. My kids (11 and 8) also thoroughly enjoyed it and they can be hard to please.”
