From the moment we arrived (waaaay too early), until the moment we left, Natalia was a warm and welcoming host on the tour round Santa Cruz. She was always reassuring and giving us lots of information about the sights of the city. I particularly loved the personal touch she gave to each location we visited. We have visited the city before so are familiar with some of the locations, but we still learned something new at every point. It was all about the cycling for us, because it’s something we enjoy doing on holiday. Despite our many visits, this was our first cycling activity on the island. It was a very easy and enjoyable experience, and we wouldn’t have done this without our thoughtful guide. Natalia was quite apologetic about the cycling infrastructure in the city, but we thought that this was much better than we were accustomed to back home. We thought it was a good mix of cycle paths and roads. Our guide gave us very good road guidance whilst in the traffic, which was great because we have always been apprehensive around Tenerife traffic. At the end of the tour, Natalia recommended a local restaurant out of the way of the tourist area, and graciously walked us to the venue. She went about and beyond what would have been expected from the bike tour, and we thank her very much. The fridge magnet wil be added to our collection at home and be a reminder of a great day out! Thank you
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review! We're delighted to hear that Natalia made your experience so special with her warm hospitality, local knowledge, and personal touch. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her. It's fantastic that, even after several visits, you discovered something new and enjoyed cycling through Santa Cruz. We're especially pleased that Natalia's guidance made you feel safe and that her restaurant recommendation added to your day. Thank you for choosing us—we hope to welcome you back again soon!
Great experience. Safe ride even on busy streets the cars respected the bikes and the guide, Natalia, was safety-focused. Very informative tour. The e bikes were easy to use. Bikes had excellent brakes, a bell, helmet and high visibility. My husband and friend are 6” 5 and 6”4 so their bikes were a little too small but they managed. Excellent experience and would recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! 😊 We’re delighted to hear you felt safe and enjoyed the informative tour with Natalia. Great to know the e-bikes and equipment helped make the experience comfortable and enjoyable. We also appreciate the note about the bike sizes. Thanks again for the recommendation! 🚴♂️

We experienced the bike ride on a fine E-bike as a positive. There was room for own input/suggestions. We had asked for a Dutch-speaking guide but despite the fact that the guide was English-speaking we gained a lot of information, also through the audio (in Dutch). We got a good impression of the city.
Beste gast, Hartelijk dank voor uw fijne review! Wat fijn om te horen dat u zo van de fietstocht heeft genoten. We hopen u in de toekomst weer te mogen verwelkomen! 🚲✨
Nice bike ride. The explanation of the guide was rather limited, but you do get a nice picture of the city. We got an upgrade from regular bike to electric because there were not enough regular bikes. Luckily, in hindsight, there were a few solid slopes in the course.
Bedankt voor je eerlijke review! We zijn blij dat je de stad op een fijne manier hebt kunnen ontdekken en dat de e-bike het wat comfortabeler maakte op de heuvels. We werken eraan om de uitleg nog beter te maken.
Was nervous since they had no reviews but the bikes are new and Daria was a great guide. The bike shop is near a popular square with McDonald’s so very easy to find. Loved cycling through the cactus gardens and by the opera house. E bikes made the hills easy.
Thanks for your kind words! So glad you enjoyed the tour with Daria and found the bikes and route so fun and easy to ride. 🚴♀️✨
Everything was great, we had a great time. I am looking forward to next weekend and will be back.
¡Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que lo pasaste genial y que ya estás pensando en volver. Estaremos encantados de recibirte de nuevo el próximo fin de semana para otra aventura en bici. ¡Hasta pronto! 😊🚲
