3 of us had a fabulous 3 hour e-bike tour of Madrid. We covered a large area of the city very safely. Alvarez was a wonderful guide who imparted a huge amount of knowledge about the city today and in the past, and also about the history of Spain. We appreciated the advice/recommendations he gave us for our multi-day road trip to Lisbon. We would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Alvarez.

AMAZING! A must do - we did a private tour with Gonzalo - it exceeded our expectation
Our guide David was very knowledgeable and navigated Madrid in an efficient way that provided a concise overview of the city. Bikes were smooth and easily maneuverable.
We haven’t biked in years. However the e-bikes were easy to use. The guide was fantastic - we stopped several times throughout the tour to talk. Navigating the streets of Madrid was challenging but it went well. Great tour!
Alvaro took us on a fun and safe e-bike ride through Madrid. We made several stop and Alvaro spoke with us about the history of Spain, the kings and queens and the modern history. We stopped near the Palace and Cathedral, and went through Lavapies, Salamanca, Malaseña and Retiro Park. It was a great way to explore Madrid!
What a fun start to our long weekend in Madrid! Sergio, our guide, was excellent & really brought this wonderful city to life! The 3 hours flew by as we explored all the key areas seeing the sites and hearing all the history and local knowledge. Would highly recommend Bravo Bikes & Sergio.
Great ride and guide Sebastian! About 10 miles long and you see a lot. E Bikes are great and low effort way to move around.
Sergio was an excellent tour guide. His knowledge of the city, particularly the history of the sights we visited was excellent. His quiz questions were fun! Highly recommend this tour.
Bike quality is not very satisfied, and unlucky, we met protests around the town halls which made us change routes and skip some points, but the tour guide is knowledgeable and took good care of us.
Great way to see the city. Our guide Remi was great. Took us to all main sites in 3 hours. Highly recommend and cycling in Madrid felt surprisingly safe.
Excellent tour with knowledgable guide. Went on our first day in Madrid and it got us well orientated. It was an easy pace with lots of stops. Highly recommend.
So nice and easy way to discover the city together with our elderly parents. No very deep roads and not too much traffic, but we could still experience some highlights like the royal castle and other landmarks, and the (until now unknown for us) larger park Casa de campo which was a treasure. It was a privat tour with the four of us together with Kaspar, whom we have taken tours with before and really appriciate for his skills and knowledge. Could not have been better.
Very nice tour summarizing the highlights of Madrid. Bikes in perfect State. Guide Alvaro was very well documentated, very fluent in english and gifted with real comical talent. Ideal start to our citytrip !
Casper was a wonderful guide. He is engaging and knowledgeable. We saw classic sights (the Royal Palace,) hidden gems (a cloistered convent,) and enjoyed a ride along the River and park. This is definitely the best way to see & learn Madrid.
Our group of 5 had an incredible time on our privately guided bike tour. Chris was fantastic!!! He was fun and knowledgeable and paced the ride perfectly. Urban biking in Madrid is gorgeous and unique.....it was a highlight of our trip! They were so responsive and timely.
Excellent experience with Bravo bikes. Best way to safely see all of Madrid and get away from the crowds. Stopping for drinks and tapas was a bonus! Thanks to Casper and Alvaro for a well organized, safe and informative tour. Highly recommended.
What can I say but a big thank you to Casper for a wonderful tour of a wonderful City. Seeing Madrid by bike is the best way to see the city and in Casper you have the perfect guide. It will live long in our memory. David & Jennifer Hunter
We had a full taste of Madrid ambience, visiting iconic places like Palacio real, Parque del Retiro, Parliament, old city hall building, Cibeles, Plaza España... Caspar's explanations were very didactic and interesting for our kids, aged 8 and 14. It's a different way to know the city by bike.
My wife and I did a private tour with Kaspar with our 10 and 12 year old children. Kaspar was incredible, ensuring our children had a great time but also making sure we did not do anything that exceeding their capabilities. He stopped when they wanted and let the kids have a great time, on the bike and also at playgrounds. I cannot recommend Bravo Bike and Kaspar enough! Gracias!
What a fun morning! Sebastián was a great guide and even lugged around our 9 year old daughter on the back of his bike as she wasn’t comfortable biking thru the city, although her twin and 12 year old brother did great. This was truly the highlight of our trip as you get to see so much of the city and have fun doing it. I loved getting to see the city parks, which I don’t think I would have seen otherwise. DEF do a bike tour if you have 3 hours in Madrid!
We ordered the 3hrs morning tour. We got very lucky and were alone to take the ride that morning, so it ended up in a private tour. We want through the parks, the lake and along the river. We would never had thought to visit these places by foot or by ourselves which would have been a pity as many local people love to spend there free time there. Our guide took pictures during the whole trip, then sent to us by email. A great plus. Bikes are high quality and well maintained. Highly recommandable. Thanks to all Bravo bike team for this great day.
My mom and I had a great tour with Alex being our tour guide since we learned about the history of Madrid through a scenic bike ride. He was able to tie back info he showed us in the beginning to the end of the trip and supply us with extra waters as it was a hot day. We also loved that he was able to make it an interactive bike ride and tour when we had questions he replied back with helpful suggestions :) Thanks again!! I highly recommend this company and Alex as the tour guide.
There are only a few words that describe two consecutive great tours with Kaspar from Bravo Bikes in Madrid : amazing, friendly, top service ! Tour nr. 1 was a private tour to Casa del Campo, exploring the incredible green side of Madrid that so many people tend to forget or miss in their hurry to visit all other top tourist destinations. These former hunting gronds provide excellent cycling paths, fresh air, perfect views over the city, the royal palace, the cathedral and also visits top sights along the river. Madrid invested millions here to upgrade this area and it shows in a friendly atmosphere. Kaspar provided coffee, water, snacks, a cake and foremost any information on the city, on the Spanish, oin Spain, even on soccer ! Tour nr. 2 was an express tour with 2 persons and Kaspar on a brand new e-bike. Visiting Parque del Retiro, but also cycling Gran Via in the city center, looking at the City Hall and other sights. On both occasions Kaspar took loads of pictures and they were already with us before we arrived back home in NL. Well, if you are looking for a good and active experience : look no further and contact Bravo Bikes !
Great cycling, a beautiful tour through the southern part of the city, lots of greenery, and a fun guide with a lot of knowledge and humor.
Tour of Madrid by bike, pleasant tour between city and park... we will gladly return to go around again or others you props! See you soon
Great visit! Our guide Sergio was a history teacher, passionate about the city. We had a complete view of Madrid. I recommend!
Did a tour with Casper twice. Very, very nice to do. Very good value for money. Would definitely schedule cycling in Madrid.
Thanks to Casper we experienced a perfect first day in Madrid in our 4 hour bike tour. He showed us so many interesting things and made us curious about further tours with him with his knowledge of history, country and people. To explore Madrid by bike is mega and highly recommended !!!
Thanks to our attentive guide and fluent in French, we discovered the city and its various neighborhoods in a fun way. We highly recommend it!
With short notice (14 hours before the start) we booked this private bike tour with Kaspar and Bravo Bikes. During the little over 3 hours we cycled we got to see and experience Madrid city center at a comfortable pace. We had lots of questions about both historic and new buildings and sites. We got answers to everything and then some. The whole thing was very nice and appreciated.
The Bravo Bike guys are good. Experience and professionalism. Solving any problems that arise is done as quickly as possible. I highly recommend this company
