A great way to see Madrid’s city center. Riding very safe despite busy time of year. David our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable in the Spanish history and sights.
David was a great guide with a lot of knowledge and a great sense of humour. I learnt a lot and enjoyed the experience immensely.
Our guide Albero was not attentive enough. We were strangers in this city and needed our guide to stay closer. It made the tour stressful rather than enjoyable.
David was so knowledgeable. I didn’t think that we could learn so much on a bike tour. He showed us the entire city and gave us loads of interesting history and facts. He was amazing.
David Alejandro was a great guide for our Madrid city bike tour. We used regular bikes and went about 6 miles to major sites around the city. David Alejandro is a historian so he knows a lot of interesting and sometimes humorous details. The bikes were well-maintained and had a pack on the front that easily held our phones and water bottles. They also had a water bottle holder. The ride was leisurely, with only a few hills and it felt quite safe. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Madrid for the first time.
We did the city and river ebike tour and ended up being the only ones on the tour. The ebikes were in excellent condition and extremely easy to use. Felt very safe with the bike and the roads used. Saw so much in a little over 3 hours in a fun, efficient and informative tour. Highly recommend.
Our guide David was outstanding! We had an excellent adventure we would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of doing a bike tour in Madrid!
David our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable about history of Madrid. Every time we travel to a new country we take an electric bike tour. By far, this tour was the best and felt very safe as most of the tour was not on main streets. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Great job David.
Really great tour that had it all! Gaspar and David thought of everything beforehand, getting there was easy and the bikes were all ready for us! Adults 16+ can choose helmet or no helmet, the routes were bike paths, some street, some walking the bikes through plazas, and David made sure everyone was together and personalized the experience for the group. We learned a lot of really interesting stuff over the three hours, got to feel like we were behind the scenes more, and they really packed in so many beautiful places into the tour! Highly recommend David Alejandro as the tour guide, he was super knowledgeable about everything and very fun. Would recommend to anyone visiting Madrid on the first days of their trip so you can feel like you know more of the history and top spots of the places you’re seeing throughout the city.
Exceptional tour and can’t stop talking about it. We went with our grown up son and his girlfriend and we all were unanimous when we said this was or best day in Madrid. Sergio was a brilliant and informative bike/tour guide who knew all the history and as a local, born and bred in Madrid knew his city inside out. He made history come alive and we covered a lot of territory so had a good grasp of the city’s culture and heart beat. A must do tour we would highly recommend.
Amazing experience. A ‘must do’ with our guide Sergio who was experienced and incredibly knowledgeable about Madrid. A local, born and raised with deep knowledge of information regarding history, art and architecture across all the places we rode. Highly recommend you do this with Bravo Bike.
Absolutely awesome way to learn a little of the history of Madrid stopping at multiple sites and 7 different districts. Sergio was an excellent guide.
Our guide was awesome on this bike tour. He shared so much incredible history about Madrid, Europe and beyond while we got to see so much of the city. Highly recommend this bike tour!
Had a wonderful experience! It was a slow day and only one other person was with me on what felt like a private tour! Guide was very kind and knowledgeable, we covered a lot of ground, history, and took our time to explore!
We thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour, it was a great was to familiarize ourselves with Madrid. Our guide, Remi, was extremely knowledgeable and a great guide. He provided tons of information about each site and kept the pace leisurely. The tour kept my daughters engaged and allowed us to cover far more than we would be able to see on foot or in a bus. We particularly enjoyed the part of the tour through Retiro Park. I would highly recommend the tour. The evoke is a great option to enjoy the tour even when your legs may be a little tired.
We have done bike tours in cities around the world - it’s our favorite way to see a new city especially at the beginning of our trip. This tour quickly rose to the top of our list of favorites. Our tour guide Gonzalo was amazing - knowledgeable, thoughtful about checking to understand what we wanted to learn about and then sharing what he knew (which was a lot!), and fun to talk to. We felt fully safe on the tour - following was easy. Biking was not strenuous - a few small hills but very manageable. We got lucky in that we were the only ones in our group but I’m sure it would have been just as good with a larger group. We recommend this tour without hesitation!
What a tour .... and what a knowledgeable friendly guide Casper was. Our first full day in the city and this tour in the morning that spilled over well into the afternoon was spot on to get our bearings. Casper's knowledge of all things spanish and Madrid was impressive and more than useful in a relaxed group of just 5 bicycles in total.
Great tour of Madrid seeing all the sights Biking a great way to cover a lot of ground from the plaza espana to retiro park
Alboran was a fantastic tour guide on our bike tour of Madrid. Recommend the electric bike. There are a lot of hills. Loved this tour the most!! Thank you Alboran.
Sergio was a great tour guide. He was very passionate about Madrid and taught us all a lot about this beautiful city. I highly recommend Sergio
Madrid City Tour with Bravo Bikes was fantastic! Casper was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his adopted country. There were only four people on our tour, which made it extra special. Casper shared his insights about Madrid and gave us a “taste” of what more we would be able to experience in the days to come. I always make a point of taking a cycling tour on my first day in a new city. Cycling gives one an entirely different perspective. This tour was excellent.
A great morning spent seeing the sights of Madrid. Kasper is very knowledgable and made the tour really interesting. We got to see a lot of Madrid’s major attractions.
A very comprehensive tour of all the main attractions. Our guide was very knowledgeable, with amusing anecdotes but at times there was way too much information to take in. The bikes were excellent and the route only had minor inclines. Make sure that you check the start time as we booked for 9am via Trip Advisor but the first tour wasn't until 10.30am. The bike team were very apologetic and offered complimentary coffees at a nearby Cafe.
TripAdvisor had the wrong tour times listed but Kaspar from Bravo Bikes was texting me right away notifying me if the correct time. Bikes were nice with gears, handlebar bag & we got water. And our guide, Alvaro was very knowledgeable, looked after our group, & was easy to understand. It was beautiful weather & we loved getting around the 4 sections of Madrid for the tour.
Juan Fe was an incredible guide for our large group of 13-year old American students! He alternated between Spanish and English to give them new vocabulary and help them practice. He provided tons of facts about the history and culture of Spain. AND somehow, Juan made riding in pouring rain an adventure and a joy! It was the highlight of the week long trip for most of the students.
Fantastic way to learn Spain history and experience Madrid’s main parks and lakes and river! Our guide Juan Filipe was very knowledgeable and super kind!
Gréât tour with an amazing guide. Alvaro was really detailed in his visit and talked multiple languages which helped us understand better (awesome french talker) will do it again when I come back with other visitor
Booked a city tour, and it was great fun. Learnt a lot about Madrid and had great advice on where to go and what to try. Had great opportunities to take lots of photos. The staff were friendly and welcoming and had great knowledge of Madrid. Remi was a great tour guide. I would highly recommend going on a tour with Bravo Bikes.
Good equipment. I had the choice of an e bike or conventional bike Very knowledgeable guide. Good easy pace with gentle undulating city streets and parks. Gives you an insight of the history of Spain.
We had an excellent tour with Sergio. He had a flexible approach and very knowledgeable. The bikes were in good condition.
Remy was a great bike tour guide. Very informative, showed us the highlights of Madrid, and successfully herded us while we weaved our way through thousands of people, street performers, rowdy outdoor concerts, huge protests and watchful battalions of police overseeing all the action. Madrid is full on, especially during a public holiday weekend. A bike tour like this with a guide like Remy is a great way to get oriented.
We enjoyed cur guide. He was very informative about the sites we saw and Spain history and culture. The whole Bravo team was very helpful! The tour gave a great overview of the city and important sites to visit.
Our group of four had a fantastic experience from the moment we arrived at the shop for our tour. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Remi, our guide, made the tour fun and informative at the same time. We saw many of the highlights of Madrid over the three hour tour. Highly recommend this experience.
The Madrid City bike tour was a fantastic way to see the city and learn about its history and then explore later afterwards.
A great trip around the sights of Madrid. Remy, our guide, gave us lots of information & was a delightful person. Would definitely recommend
This tour is a must for anyone travelling to Madrid. We are a family of 6 with different ages and bike riding ability. Our guide catered to each of our needs. I ended up on an e-bike which was perfect. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and we learnt a lot while seeing this beautiful city.
I showed up solo and met two awesome people who also just happened to be from Colorado! Alvaro was our guide and he did a fantastic job giving us a tour of Madrid. We covered lots of ground and Alvaro is like an historian on wheels! Alvaro has all the knowledge to describe the history of the region for you, as well as other great local tips like where to eat, see live music, ect. Thanks so much Alvaro!
The guide was excellent and we had a great time. I wanted to give him five but 4 of the places on list he didn’t take us to. I didn’t realize this is until we are back. This is kind of disappointing.
Sergio was incredible. He was knowledgeable but more importantly he was inviting and engaged and present. Do this trip the first day you get in. It will give you a great sense of most of the city and the other parts that I visited later weren’t as compelling. Then you can go back to the places you liked the most. Eat at Cava Baja!
Tour locations and guide were excellent with the appropriate amount of detail and pacing. Sergio was our guide and was great at answering our questions, discussing social biases that could underly the answers to those questions, and pointing out historical and local sites of importance. We did this tour on the first day we had in Madrid which set us up excellently for all our other days. Highly recommend, especially at the start of the trip.
This was a 3 hour tour of Madrid. Remy was our guide on this 8 mile odyssey. He covered so much during this trip. He did an incredible job explaining each and every stop we made along the way. he kept the group together even though it got a bit hilly. Remy even knew where a refill the water bottle stop was. I thought this was one of the best tours I have ever been on. One final note - tip the guide. There are some cheap people who just walk away after. Not cool ! These guys work hard. Show some appreciation.
We loved biking through the city of Madrid with Remy! He was very knowledgeable and a great guide! It was a great thing to do on the first day to get a sense of the city and all the sites!
Fantastic tour around Madrid. Remy, our excellent guide took our group around all the main sites and much more. So much information and story's about the history of the city that made the tour so special!
Great way to see the city in a short period. Covered a lot of ground of the most important sites of Madrid. Remy was informative and helpful with his comments.
Remy was a great guide. Very friendly and informative. The tour was a great introduction to all the highlights of Madrid sights. In addition there were some sights that were interesting but maybe not so well known. Great way to be introduced to Madrid
Sergio was a wonderful guide! He took us to all of the interesting places in Madrid, stopping to give us historical and current history. We got a Madrid in a day experience. I highly recommend this as a starting point for you to learn and get oriented to the city!
Great tour around Madrid. Out guide was fantastic and knowledgeable.We saw all the major sites . Would definitely recommend if coming to Madrid
Casper provided a great friendly easygoing tour of the area. Lots of insight and saw more than could have seen on foot and more close up and personal than other tours. Kept a good fast pace on bike so better if you have some experience biking. No stops for food or drinks and that would have been a nice addition as we stopped at a pastry shop. Seems a missed opportunity.
We thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour of Madrid. Our guide, Caspar, was very helpful and informative. He included most of the key Madrid sites including Palacio Real, Plaza Mayor, Parque de El Retiro... The photos and a couple short videos were sent on the next day and they're quite good. Since my wife and I really enjoy bikes, we also had the chance to talk about bikes after the end of the ride with Caspar.
We had a great time on this tour. The bikes were really nice and comfortable. We cover so much ground and saw so many places who h was awesome. Our guide Álvaro was incredibly knowledgeable. It was like being in a university history class with a smart and funny professor 😀. Highly recommend this company and tour!
