Your Itinerary

Mercado San Miguel

(Pass by)

A modern market at the old city. The heart of the ancient city

Templo de Debod

The shrine was originally erected 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of Aswan, in Upper Egypt, very close to the first cataract of the Nile and to the great religious center in Philae dedicated to the goddess Isis. In the early 2nd century BC, Adikhalamani (Tabriqo), the Kushite king of Meroë, started its construction by building a small single-room chapel dedicated to the god Amun.

Parque del Oeste

Parque del Oeste (in English: Western Park) is a park of the city of Madrid (Spain) situated between the Autovía A-6, the Ciudad Universitaria de Madrid and the district of Moncloa. Before the 20th century, the land that the park currently occupies was the main landfill of the city. The park is the initiative of Alberto Aguilera, the mayor of the city at the beginning of the 20th century, who in 1906 requested the layout of a place for walking and relaxation by landscape artist Celedonio Rodrígáñez. It has unique and beautiful sites such as "The Rose", which is held every year an international tender roses.

Royal Palace of Madrid

The Royal Palace of Madrid (Spanish: Palacio Real de Madrid) is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family at the city of Madrid, although now only used for state ceremonies. The palace has 135,000 square metres (1,450,000 sq ft) of floor space and contains 3,418 rooms. It is the largest functioning Royal Palace and the largest by floor area in Europe

Plaza de Cibeles

The Plaza de Cibeles is a square with a neo-classical complex of marble sculptures with fountains that has become an iconic symbol for the city of Madrid. It sits at the intersection of Calle de Alcalá, Paseo de Recoletos and Paseo del Prado. Plaza de Cibeles was originally named Plaza de Madrid, but in 1900, the City Council named it Plaza de Castelar, which was eventually replaced by its current name.

Puerta de Alcala

The Puerta de Alcalá ("Alcalá Gate", from the Arabic word القلعة al-qal'a, "citadel") is a Neo-classical monument in the Plaza de la Independencia in Madrid, Spain. It is regarded as the first modern post-Roman triumphal arch built in Europe, older than the similar monuments Arc de Triomphe in Paris and Brandenburg Gate in Berlin

Parque del Retiro

The Buen Retiro Park (Spanish: Parque del Buen Retiro, literally "Park of the Pleasant Retreat"), Retiro Park or simply El Retiro is one of the largest parks of the city of Madrid, Spain. The park belonged to the Spanish Monarchy until the late 19th century, when it became a public park.

Very informative guide that made the tour very enjoyable even though it began to rain a bit. Would definitely recommend this tour and our guide Jacob.

Robert_W

Too many people on this tour and a few with little or no experience riding a bicycle in a busy city. Three separate experiences where bikers fell from their bicycles and two left the group and returned their bicycles to the shop. The tour guide was excellent.

This was a great way to begin exploring Madrid! Very informative and Chris, our guide was really helpful and made sure we all had a comfortable bike before setting off.

There were 8 of us in the group from the UK and Gloria was an excellent guide. Very informative and friendly with lots of fascinating insights into the history of Madrid.

A fantastic bike tour, that in 3h time, presents Madrid in a nutshell. Having Paloma as a guide was the cherry on top of the cake: she has a broad knowledge of history, has a good sens of humor, speaks very good English and knows all the featuring aspects of Madrid. Highly recommend. Time and money well invested.

Valentine_S

Fun and Informative! Guide was very knowledgeable and energetic. A bike ride perspective of the old city is highly recommended. I would take this tour again.

Lori_B

Plaza Mayor was great. The guide was really good. Unfortunately, Madrid is not a very bike friendly city and the bikes were puny.

We participated in the english speaking tour May 23, 2022. There were 6 riders excluding our guide Paloma and her trainee. Let me start by saying that Paloma was probably the only bright spot on the tour - she is funny and very informative and I would rate her 5 star! As far as the Madrid Fun and Sightseeing Bike Tour, probably be a little more honest to just change the name to Madrid Sightseeing tour, wasn't that much fun had. First: if you register through Tripadvisor the $33.14 cost advertised only covers for a regular bike - we found out after we arrived - the E-bike will cost you another 10 Euros each for a total = $43.54 USD each. Secondly: the nice new green Pedego E-bike all seemed to be reserved for the Spanish speaking tour. We received the older black Oxylane's that all seemed to need some kind of maintenance. My wife's rear brake was nearly non-existent causing her to slip and crash on the sand path in the Parc Retiro. The Wonder Bike Tour manager working that day showed no empathy about my wife's condition after the accident, or wether the bikes were maintained properly. Thirdly: We didn't visit at least two of the sites listed on the probable itinerary - neither Parque del Oeste or Templo de Debod, which was disappointing. There are better options for english speaking visitors to tour Madrid - I would pass this one up until they have properly maintained the current stock of E-bikes they use.

Really good comprehensive tour of key attractions. Gave us a good idea of places we wanted to visit in depth later in the holiday. Guide was Luis, and he was great, excellent at thinking on his feet as we had a thunder storm!
