The experience

Central Madrid and Retiro Park, covered by bike with a guide, on a standard or an electric bike.

A local guide leads the group by bike between central Madrid’s landmarks and the wide paths of Retiro Park, covering considerably more ground in the same time than a walking tour manages, while staying slow enough to stop and take in detail a coach tour would miss.

Both standard and electric bikes are offered, chosen at booking — the e-bike option flattens out the effort on Madrid’s occasional inclines, making the ride accessible to a wider range of fitness levels without changing the route.

The pace and stops are led by the guide but responsive to the group, with Retiro Park in particular left with enough time to enjoy rather than pass through quickly.
