This tour provides a great overview of the city, however we do discourage guests from reserving immediately after a long-haul flight. Give yourself the afternoon and evening to adjust and avoid any cancellation issues by flight delays and plan on joining us during your second day in Madrid.
This won't be the Tour de France, but appropriate clothing for biking is recommended. We highly discourage wearing flip-flops. Madrid is not entirely flat, so there are some gentle up-hill climbs on the tour.
This tour will run rain or shine! Please dress appropriately. We do provide ponchos for rainy days.
Unfortunately, we don't recommend this tour for kids under 15 years old.
We use comfortable, 9 gear city bikes. We also have pedal-assist e-bikes available for an additional €10. You can upgrade when you arrive for your tour!
Helmets are provided for all free of charge, but are only mandatory for teens 15 & 16 years old.
We unfortunately will not have time during this tour to enter any of the sites, but your tour guide will provide you with plenty of information to go back and visit the landmarks that you found to be most interesting after the tour has concluded.
The tour is about 3 hours long, and we will cover about 6-7.5 miles/9-12 kilometers.
It's not a good idea to plan this into your itinerary, as the guide will need to stay with the rest of the group. Thanks for choosing a different day to join us should you have scheduling conflicts.
