“This bike tour was the perfect way to see a large area of Madrid when we first arrived to the city, it allowed us to know where we wanted to spend more time during the rest of our visit. Our tour guide Pedro was extremely informative, we learned so much and we weren't even on the tour for the education, just for the site seeing! But it was so enjoyable! The ride is leisurely, not physically demanding except on a few uphill spots. You do have to navigate through large crowds of people, which is not the easiest to do. Highly encourage taking this tour!”

“The bike tour is complete and allows you to see several neighborhoods. A good introduction and some pointers/ideas for the rest of our stay. On the other hand, the tapas option is not very interesting. After the visit, another guide took us to a tapas bar (the one planned was closed and the second one not exceptional) and left us there. It wasn't very friendly. I recommend the visit because it's really nice but without the tapas option.”
