Madrid
Madrid is Europe’s greenest capital, so it's only natural to discover the amazing parks and rivers while you're here! This three-hour tour takes you to the best of nature in and around Madrid.
We will begin by riding through Parque del Oeste (West Park), along the Manzanares River and into the “Casa de Campo” - Madrid’s vast public parkland and one of the world’s
largest open-air parks. This tour uses 100% of the park’s dedicated cycling paths, making it a great option for those uncertain of their biking ability. Our local, friendly guides will explain the history of the various monuments and sites so that you can gain a deeper appreciation for the landmarks that make Madrid iconic. From the city's origins as a royal hunting reserve to its more recent history as a front line offensive during the Spanish Civil War, there is plenty to discuss! We also include a stop at the resting place of a legendary Spanish painter, Goya, where you can see his impressive ceiling frescoes in the San
Antonio chapel.
This tour is perfect for children; we avoid the busy city center and the traffic, focusing solely on the parks and green spaces throughout Madrid. Our beautiful city is undergoing some renovations currently, which allows us to extend the tour to include the magnificent Plaza del Oriente by the Royal
Palace, as well as the grand Plaza de Espana. This is a tour not to be missed!

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. In the event of extremely bad weather, we will contact you to reschedule.
