1.3 hour Guided Highlights Bike Tour with Optional Tapas

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 443 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $35Our pick

Ride about 7.5 miles through central Madrid by regular bike or e-bike, stopping at the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, Retiro Park, Puerta del Sol, and more. Guides such as Gabriel, Juanfe, David, and Irene add history, humor, and practical city tips. Optional tapas follows the ride.

“I really enjoyed this tour. David was a great guide, he was funny and informative and did a good job keeping everyone organized and safe. You get the chance to see a lot of different sites while getting some exercise and feeling the energy of the city. Madrid is very hot right now but it's pretty manageable on the tour. I'd say definitely being a bottle of water with you. The physicality level is probably in between low and medium. The ground is sometimes bumpy and sometimes you're going uphill a bit so if you are not in good shape it could maybe be a little challenging for a few…”

4.3-Hour Tapas Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 18 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $90

Meet your English-speaking guide at Cádiz’s Caleta Beach at 8 pm, then walk through La Viña for local tapas and drinks. The tour includes three drinks and three tapas per person, with guides such as Ana Cristina sharing food, culture, and Cádiz stories in a group of no more than eight.

“The experience was ok…. I was the only one in the tour. We were supposed to go to 3 locations but only 1 was available. The tour guide does not make reservations beforehand so be prepared to either walk around looking for a place to accommodate or wait a while to get a seat or even worse just go to 1 place and order the 3 tapas and 3 drinks from 1 place. Not much was said about the town. Also bring your own water or you will pay for it as it is not part of the tour.”
