We enjoyed our ride. However, our itinerary changed and we could not go to the Parc El Retiro due to a protest at Puerto del sol. So, our ride filled the time, but felt short. (We went to El Retiro the following day and am glad we didn’t miss it. Bummed we couldn’t have biked through the park). Our guide Julio was very knowledgeable. The tapas were good and we enjoyed our fellow travelers.
Excellent tour! Great guide. Small group, worked well. First time on an e-bike, wow how easy! Madrid is a lovely city, highly recommend this introduction to its' centre.
Very good guide spoke Dutch kindly good explanation cool guy
We were a bit hesitant to ride the bike in Madrid with our 7 year old and 12 year old, but Julio, our tour guide, was amazing. He was very passionate and knowledgeable and he took really good care of us. I would definitely recommend this over the tuk tuks.
This was a great way to see a park in Madrid and bike and get some exercise. Love this tour. I enjoyed this tour a lot some really nice people
Superb experience, great guide!!
Very good experience. The guide Julio took very good care of us, he is someone easy to deal with and with a lot of knowledge to share. Take advantage of it.
Top experience with our guide Manuel. Because there were only 2, we did a bike tour outside the traditional highlights of Madrid. He asked us in advance what we had already seen and tailored the tour to our wishes where we saw a lot of places that we would otherwise never have seen (including Matadero, Templo de Debod, trip along the river, ...). Manuel has a wide historical background, could give a detailed explanation of all the sights and place everything within the broad historical context. Knows Madrid very well and was able to let us cycle safely from one side to the other in Madrid via quiet paths. Also thank you to Tim bikes, that even though we were only 2, the tour did not cancel. The bikes were of good quality and had 8 gears, enough to take the slopes in the city.
I took this tour with my two adult children and we had a great time. We had a small group so it was very easy to navigate around Madrid and learn about the city and history from our excellent guide, Manu. The tapas and tinto de verano (have this over sangria, I think I drank a gallon or two while I was in Madrid!) were delicious and the tour was a perfect amount of time to see historic parts of Madrid, and then go explore on our own for the rest of the trip. Thanks, Manu, for providing great recommendations both in Madrid and later when we went to Portugal! I neglected to pick the ebike option while the rest of the tour had them. It really wasn't too much work to pedal and Manu was very gracious to give swap his ebike for my daughter's pedal bike, but there enough small hills that I'd probably do an ebike in the future. I love doing city bike tours and this one is great.
We think it was the perfect way to discover Madrid. Surprisingly good with electric bikes. Knowledgeable and interested guide.
