It was a around three hour highlights tour around Madrid's monuments and Parque El Retiro. Great bikes to ride on and a nice guide that could perhaps speak up little bit as it was often times hard to hear what had to say. I would suggest if I may before a group heads out on a bike that they would do a bit of a bike/intro/orientation ( not all from NL or DK ;) ) before starting as to for people to know what to expect before hand as Madrid certainly isn't a biking city. But we had fun. Thx.Carol_M

We’ve taken bike tours in several cities. This one was the best one by far! Historical highlights as well as current references and recs. We were invited to enjoy tapas with the group afterwards and hear more.
