The bike tour was excellent 👌. The tour takes place on 'roadster' style bikes with big squishy tyres & saddles. The team are happy to adjust the seat height to suit you (which was great for me, because my legs are deceptively short, so they initially set my saddle too high). They provide a bottle of water from the fridge to keep you hydrated during the tour, which is large enough to stay fairly cool throughout. The guides are gregarious & informative, and the tour proceeds at a very leisurely pace that won't leave anyone behind (or blow your hat off 😉). Whilst you have to cross some of the busier roads at dedicated crossings, most of the tour takes place on peaceful cobbled streets, so you can concentrate on keeping your balance, rather than dodging motorists. It was great value for money; I would highly recommend it!

The tour was excellent and the guide Chiada was so knowledgeable of the whole area.He brought us to all of the lovely sights and made it so enjoyable. zI would definitely recommend this tour one of the best I've been on.

Such a great tour through Alicante with Chadi. We learnt all about the history of the beautiful city as well as tasting some of the delicious local treats and markets. We recommend this tour to anyone who loves biking.

Excellent tour, with lots of history. Our guide Rose was full of knowledge and very helpful Approximately 5 miles on the bike. Enjoyed the samples in the market and sweet shop!

Amazing, our guide Chadi was fun and informative. He cycled at a steady pace and I did not feel like I had to go too fast. Highly recommended.
