Overview

This private electric bike tour from Mountain City Tours spends three hours looping from a Moncloa meeting point through Madrid's old centre, its river park and its grand green spaces, with a certified guide who rides only with your group. The route strings together stops at Plaza de la Villa, the Arab Wall and the Templo de Debod, and passes landmarks such as the Reina Sofia and the Prado without stopping. Riders get a high quality e-bike and a helmet, and free photos during the tour are included.

The tour splits its time between the dense historic core and the wide open spaces along the Manzanares, including stretches of Madrid Rio Park and a ride into Parque de la Casa de Campo, which is a free public park to enter. Back in the centre, longer stops at Parque del Retiro, the Literary Quarter and La Latina balance out the riverside riding. Meals and drinks are extra unless the Tapas Option is selected.

A small private group riding bikes through central Madrid

It suits visitors who want to cover ground a walking tour cannot manage, one reviewer noting you see parts of Madrid you cannot reach on foot. The operator notes that the tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for travellers with back problems. The e-bike, helmet and a certified guide come with the price.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points from the booking page and from traveller reviews will help you prepare for this ride.

Private group. Only your group takes part, so the ride stays closed to other travellers. The booking page states this explicitly. One reviewer praised the guide's knowledge and empathy during the ride.
Pace and fitness. Most travellers can participate, per the booking page. Even so, three hours in the saddle means basic comfort on a bike helps. The tour is not recommended for travellers with back problems or serious heart conditions.
Food and drink. Meals and drinks are not included unless you select the Tapas Option. Both reviewers mentioned finishing the ride at a tapas bar, and one called it lovely.
Photos. Free photos during the tour are included in the price. You do not need to bring a camera to come away with pictures, though nothing stops you.
Getting there. The meeting point is C. de Juan Álvarez Mendizábal 19, and the tour starts at 10:00. Public transportation stops close by, which helps with the morning arrival.
Weather. The experience requires good weather, and a weather cancellation brings the choice of a different date or a full refund. Check the forecast before your ride and plan accordingly.

Common issues. The honest limits: the tour is not wheelchair accessible, and the operator advises against it for travellers with back problems or serious medical conditions. Check child and infant options with the operator before booking. Admission to Parque de la Casa de Campo is not included, and food and drink cost extra unless the Tapas Option is chosen. The tour needs a minimum number of travellers and good weather to run, and if either forces a cancellation you are offered a different date or experience, or a full refund. One reviewer described the ride as four hours rather than the listed three.
