Very enjoyable electric bike ride in the mountains north of Marbella. The off-road part is challenging but fun. Nice visit to the village of Istan and a coffee stop.
Great tour. Challenging, but manageable. Took a lot of great pictures of the Marbella vistas. Do not miss it.
As always fine experience with nalasur beautiful trip through the mountains near Istán
When the weather is not so warm ware good clothes and shoes great experience in the mountains with friends
It was a great day outside. Oliver is a great guide and very helpful. We had a nice affordable breakfast in Istan. The views during the trip was spectacular.
Super good trip where most can be involved. Good sights on the trip and good guide. He was good at telling a little and the different things we experienced
We booked a private tour my husband and I. Great formula! The day really happens at our own pace (plan 9:00 to 16:00). Exceptional itinerary in the mountains and white villages. Fantastic landscapes. Our guide gave us very relevant instructions and comments in very easy to understand English (we speak mainly French). The trails are sometimes very rocky and the slopes very steep (both uphill and downhill). You have to be very comfortable on a bike. Safe journey, few cars. The e-bike allows the desired level of assistance so it is possible to make little physical effort or, on the contrary, to do a little more, depending on our ability and desire.
These are not E bikes. They are pedal assist E bikes and nowhere is this mentioned. I couldn't even make it 15 minutes because it was mostly uphill. My friend tried to go further and she also had to be brought back because of the hills. DO NOT book this excursion unless you are prepared to pedal uphill. Very disappointing
Had an excellent day out to the town of Istan over the mountains. It was my first time on a mountain e-bike and I loved the experience. It was accessible and fun.
IThr ride was excellent, the guides were very helpful, always ready to help.The only small hitch was to find the shop (starting point)
