David was an amazing guide! So informative and passionate about the subject, which is what I want in a guide when you're in a different country. Riding around Madrid was fun, and we saw so much of the city. Would definately reccomend and make sure to ask for David!

This will definitely go down as a highlight of our trip to Madrid!! Absolutely loved this tour. We had already seen some of the Madrid city highlights so our biking guide, Gomi, recommended we do the Madrid parks tour instead. It was fabulous!! We had no idea this part of Madrid existed, we biked thru several of the beautiful parks and waterfront areas of Madrid. Our tour was on a weekday so it was very peaceful and not crowded at all during most of our ride. It was just our family on the tour with Gomi too. Our son is 12 and he had so much fun on this tour. Gomi is very knowledgeable about Madrid and was great interacting with us and with our son throughout the tour. I’m sure this will end up being one of our favorite days in Madrid, highly recommend this tour!!
The staff at bravo bike is very kind. Casper was very accommodating and helpful. Our guide who I forgot his name was also great. The tour was beautiful and everything I expected I highly recommend.
I have never enjoyed riding a bike as much as I did today. Alejandro was a wonderful guide. This was truly an amazing way to see so many sights and get a great history lesson at the same time. Would 100% recommend e-bike tours!
Alonso was a great guide. Very knowledgeable on history through the ages, and adapted his facts to the nationalities in the group.
David was an excellent guide. We loved the tour. Lots of great stops and so informative. I learned a lot.
Super fun morning of e-bike riding. Very safe, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended to get oriented to Madrid.
We, 8 old friends from Sweden in the 55 year, were having a great e-bike tour in Madrid. Nice ride we good stops around Madrid city and with a guide that were very professional and fun. Must recommend this e-bike tour with guide in Madrid!
The guide was super knowledgeable and took good care of us, it was a 10km tour, about 3 hours, but very easy going. Muchas Gracias!
We had the best bike tour with David! Such a fantastic time seeing the sights, learning the history and getting a great idea of Madrid’s different areas. I loved all the neighborhoods that we pedaled through and the insight he shared along the way. You can cover so much more ground on a bike tour! It ended up being just David, my husband and I on the tour and we absolutely loved it! Not only is David a fantastic tour guide-his photography skills are on point! Honestly the best tour we have taken! Would definitely recommend taking this tour!!
Great way to cover a good part of central Madrid with lots of history and information about where to explore, visit, eat, etc. David was a terrific guide. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and really made this a special excursion. Only some gentle hills in Madrid, but the e-bikes (in great condition) made it all very easy. Highly recommended, especially if, like us, you are new to Madrid as it gives such a good base to navigating around the city.
The tour was excellent! We saw a lot of the major sites in the city and got some great history from our fantastic tour guide, David Alejandro. Thank you so much!
David Alejandro was an amazing tour guide. He took our family of 5 around Madrid and taught us so much history! He was also very funny! And a great photographer. Highly recommend booking this tour!!
This tour was great, learned a lot about Madrid and kept us active during our trip. We also had a very knowledgeable guide.
We had an exceptional experience on this bike tour, and it was largely thanks to our incredible guide. His knowledge of Madrid's history and culture was impressive. Every stop came with fascinating stories and context you'd never get exploring on your own. What really set him apart was his sense of humor; he put a funny spin on everything, keeping the whole group laughing while we learned. The perfect mix of educational and entertaining. If you're visiting Madrid, don't miss this tour. Highly recommend! He also took amazing photos of us along the way, added bonus.
Fantastic e-bike tour by David (Alejandro). He is a wonderful guide, and makes the stops interesting with his stories and info. There's a lot of stops/starts trying to navigate around the crowds and on/off the bikes at the major intersections. There are a couple sections of the tour where you can fly along without disruption, like through the central park by the Prado, but the tour route doesn't lend itself to much of this. There are plenty of stops, we never felt winded or tired, and the e-bikes make it easy to ride - anyone can do it. If you're pedaling hard - you've missed the ON/OFF button on the bike :) This is a great way to see the central sights in Madrid!
We had a great few hours riding and learning about the culture and history of Madrid. Alessandro is a great guide and had many stories to tell that make the tour interesting and fun. The meeting point location is easy to find, about a 20 minute walk from where we were staying. The tour gave a great feel for the city
Our guide, Remi, was excellent. Although not a native of Madrid, he knew the city, history, and bike routes very well. In our three hour tour, we saw a great number of sites. It was a fairly hot day, but Remi kept us in the shade most of the time. We were in the Centro but we were mostly on bike friendly streets and paths, very little biking on streets with cars. A highlight was the Retire Park. Biking is the best way to see this large and beautiful park. The e-bikes were very good, easy to use and had sufficient power to get around. Highly recommend this company and Remi in particular.
This was a fabulous bike tour of Madrid! Please do this if you want to see all the main sights and get lots of interesting information. Even on a hot day the biking was easy and stops were always in a shady spot. Our guide was Gomi and I can honestly say he is one of the best guides we have ever had! Thank you for a brilliant 3 hours. My husband was very sad when the tour ended!!
Ismael is a knowledgeable and personable guide. He guided us through a myriad of alleys, parkways and streets with confidence, always checking to keep the group together. The tour operator, Bravo Bikes, provided well conditioned bikes and gave us the option of e- bike or normal. A really fun tour!
Perfect adventure with good info and wonderful sights. Bikes and pace wonderful…and the best guide ever, Gomi.
I was the only rider for the day but Alvaro still took me out for the full 3 hour day. I’m so glad he did. He’s very knowledgeable about the city and its history. We stopped frequently as he explained what I was seeing. It seemed we rode everywhere in the city and though we rode along with traffic sometimes I never felt uncomfortable. I loved the tour and would highly recommend a different way to see the city.
A bike tour should not be scheduled on Labor Day in Madrid. Way too busy and was not impressed with our guide.
If you want to experience Madrid in the most unforgettable way, this bike tour is it. From start to finish, everything exceeded expectations. Our host was absolutely exceptional; knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the city. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring Madrid with a local friend who knows all the best spots. The ride itself was stunning. We covered so much ground and truly got to see every part of the city, from iconic landmarks to hidden gems I never would have found on my own. Despite the distance, the e-bike made the entire experience effortless and enjoyable, so you can focus on the views rather than the exertion. What really set this tour apart was the blend of sightseeing and storytelling. Along the way, we were treated to fascinating history lessons that brought Madrid to life in a way that walking around on your own simply can’t match. This is hands down the perfect activity if you want to explore the city thoroughly and meaningfully. I’d recommend it without hesitation, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Alvarno was fabulous. His enthusiasm and knowledge were infectious. We were blessed with perfect weather and learned so much, while enjoying easy e-biking around the city.
Very comprehensive tour of the city with tons of interesting information. The guide was able to provide information about a wide variety of topics including history, art, politics, etc.
Alvaro was our tour guide for this morning biking adventure through Madrid. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and country, and shared his knowledge with us during multiple stops around the city. We stopped outside the Royal palace and enjoyed a magnificent view and photo opportunities. He took us on a lovely ride through Madrid's 'Central Park', El Retiro, which was amazing. I really liked that we could safely leave our belongings in their office lockers, and especially appreciated the access to clean toilets there before and after our three hour tour. This is my second time with this operator (I went two years ago with different family members) and I'd happily return again.
My daughter and I toured the city on e-bikes with Kasper our guide, it was great way to spend the afternoon, the bikes make it so easy to navigate some of the hills in the city, thank you Bravo Bikes for a great day 👌
We enjoyed a wonderful morning biking and learning about Madrid. Remy was an excellent guide. We enjoyed the ride through the park and Remy did a great job of navigating the streets. This tour is a terrific way to get an introduction to Madrid and find out about all there is to see. Do this tour in the morning and then enjoy the afternoon walking the city.
Remy was a fantastic guide for us in Madrid. Was very knowledgeable on the city and provided an enjoyable tour. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good bike tour!
This was our favorite tour during our 2 week trip. Very informative and educational and just a beautiful ride through the city and parks. Highly recommend. Alvaro was an excellent guide. We did the 4 hour tour and would have gladly biked longer with him
Great way to get a general tour of the city with some history and facts. Sergio was a great guide!!
Great orientation to the city of Madrid. Super appreciative that my reservation was honored, as others had cancelled. Casper offered fun insights, both historical and modern day, along the way. Very comfortable ebikes made for an easy day!
The best!!! There are several options for tours but this is by far the most inclusive, and most bang for the buck! Our tour guide Casper was incredible. He was personal, fun, experienced, knowledgeable, and safe. We recommend 10 out of 10! Looking forward to another trip when we return!
We loved the bike tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and funny and we all really enjoyed seeing Madrid on the bikes. Easy to use and bike lanes were great, drivers were very accommodating of bikes and it all felt very safe. Loved it!
Great tour! Lots of hills, but e-bike made it easy. Rain or shine. They're prepared--will give you ponchos!
Loved seeing the city of Madrid , learning about its history, and enjoying the fun and adventure of doing it all on an E-Bike. Our guide , Alberto, was a wealth of information not just about Madrid but Spanish and World History. The tour was in- depth (3 hours) and we saw much of the city. The Trek E- Bike was fabulous - one of the best I’ve ridden- lighter than most and very easy to turn and maneuver. Highly recommend for those who know how to ride a bike and are comfortable riding in the city. I felt very safe but I wouldn’t recommend for inexperienced riders .
It was a small group (five participants) and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. We were able to experience a much greater area of Madrid and that is what I had hoped. So it met all my expectations. The challege was being able to safely ride bikes in areas with lots of pedestrians.
From arrival to departure we were treated like royalty. Sergio was very patient with us first time e-bikers. We explored the city and learned its history. What a great experience. Highly recommend this tour. Will tell our friends in the states to come visit Sergio for a wonderful adventure.
Kasper kept us safe in the Sunday crowds. Pace was excellent - not too slow and not too fast. Knowledgeable about history and other places to visit and eat. Tour was in English - very clear and easy to understand. He made sure the bike fit each rider. They have a very clean bathroom at the office.
Alvaro the guide was excellent. It was a great summary of what Madrid is about. The bike worked very well.
Great to see Madrid on an e-bike. Get some exercise and enjoy the beautiful city. The guide was very knowledgeable. Overall a great time.
Alvarro our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. He took us through the streets and park of Madrid.
My wife and I just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable 8.5 hour biking experience through Bravo Bikes. The owner Kaspar was our guide and couldn’t have been more considerate and helpful throughout the day Without getting into the details, our original plans for the day became unworkable, but Kaspar organized a substitute itinerary that I have to say was superior to what was originally planned. We rode through the city and then through the Casa del Campo along a beautiful series of bike paths, some paved, some not but all doable for reasonably experienced bikers. We ended up at El Pardo and enjoyed a delicious lunch before returning along a slightly different route. I’m sure he offers standard city tours as well, but if you want an authentic and unique biking experience, check out his offerings, or better yet, contact him and discuss what you’d like to do and allow him to make some suggestions. I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Joined the e-bike tour in a group of 8 & had the best experience. Cycled around for approximately 3 hours, stopping at points of interest & was told the most amazing & interesting facts by our guide. Can’t believe how much we covered in the time, which you could never have done on foot. Would highly recommend for everyone.
Our guide, Sergio did a wonderful job. The tour was exceptional. Yes, several stop along the way but that was to help convey information and history about what we were seeing. The experience was great as we covered about 15km and took in the city highlights along with origins on a lovely morning. Afterwards and just a couple hundred meters away we enjoyed lunch at La Charca with lovely tapas and wine. The whole experience helped us understand many of the sights we want to go back to with contextual history. A great way to start your journey in any city!
It was personalized and intimate and just so fun! Alvaro, my guide, is a cycling wealth of information. He knew everything about the history of Spain that I learned back in college so bringing all my knowledge together with him was really amazing! Fun and Outdoors on the beautiful streets of different neighborhoods was the perfect way to spend a few hours in the morning. I recommend it to everyone!
Best way to get to know Madrid. Super informative & enthusiastic guide& covers so much of the city best sights.
Excellent bike tour that takes in the main sights of Madrid. The e bikes are a great way to do it for young and old. We were a family of 4 (with a 16 and 14 year old) and it was perfect for them. Our guide Remy was excellent - laid back, very knowledgeable about the city, was very safe on the roads and he even managed to fix a puncture along the way!!!
Great way to see Madrid on a very hot day (36 in afternoon). We took the morning tour with Remy and were very happy he managed to take us through gorgeous shaded streets and parks and always stopped in shaded areas. The heat wasn't a problem with the very high quality ebikes making is very easy riding. The tour was very interesting and we (including teenagers) enjoyed it very much. Thank you
