Perfect for traversing the park even on extremely hot days. The bike pickup is less than a block from one of the entrance gates, making it very easy. I went with my family, with children aged 12 and 9, and we enjoyed it a lot. Walking would have been impossible. The bicycles were in perfect condition, and we received very friendly service; it was a delightful experience.
It was a convenient way to get around and discover this massive park. Definitely recommended if you like cycling.
Could have spent all day exploring the park! Would rent a bike for entire day! Bike rental personnel were top notch!
No hassle transaction. Bikes were ready and accessories available without additional costs. Host was helpful and provided a brief history of the park with important sites to take in during the park ride. Definitely recommended.
Being the De El Buen Retiro Park very extensive, the best way to visit it is by bike!!! Beautiful experience
Avoid the weekend because there are many people. Otherwise, it is very nice to circulate in the different places of the park which is quite large.
A really fun experience biking through El Retiro Park. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a different kind of activity in Madrid. But it should be done as an activity on it’s own, definitely not if you want to properly see all the attractions as you have to worry about leaving the bike alone as there are some spaces that have stairs or very narrow paths with people walking. We weren’t given a bike lock. Our ebikes also didn’t have a basket so we had to carry our backpacks on our backs, which wasn’t ideal. But overall a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.
Bikes were in good condition and the Childrens bikes were sized smaller. They supplied good helmets as well. The staff seemed very distracted. One of them was on his smart phone the entire time as we were going through the process of trying out the bikes and getting our helmets and would often require a lot of prompting to move the process forward as we were getting ready to go on our bikes. This is a really great way to tour El Retiro Park. It is way too big to walk around. The tour makes it seem like they will give you some kind of guidance or map or suggestions on where to go, but no such guidance was given. Return was easy and laid back. Overall recommend!
Great way to see Retiro park when your legs are tired. It took us 1.5 hours to tour the park. We checked out all the pretty blooming plants. Bikes were in good condition and easy to ride.
The bike ride though the park was one of our favorite experiences while we were in Madrid. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and sunny and I would highly recommend going on a Monday or Tuesday because it is much less crowded!
