⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best (and Most Entertaining) Bike Tour in Alicante! Well, where do I even begin? If you’re in Alicante and you don’t book a tour with Alicante by Bike Rental and Tours, then frankly, you’re missing out on the ride of your life—quite literally in my case. Our guide, Chadi, was absolutely brilliant—full of knowledge, wit, and, let’s be honest, not bad on the eye either. Let’s just say the best view wasn’t always the Alicante scenery, especially when cycling directly behind him. The tour was the perfect mix of top attractions and hidden gems, the kind you’d never stumble upon unless you got lost looking for a toilet. And then there were the tasting stops—I won’t spoil the surprises, but here’s a hint: vermouth, wine, and a slightly wobbly bike ride afterwards. Now, let’s get to the highlight (for everyone except me). Right at the final stop, after hours of smugly staying upright, I hit the deck in style. Picture this: one minute, graceful cyclist; the next, a human starfish

Amazing tour, very polite, open-ended, was told about the history of Alicante every time we stopped and how significant it was in the towns history, extremely good service and the atmosphere was overall incredible. This experience was worth every penny and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about it!!!

5 out of 5 stars

We saw a lot of Alicante and it was not rushed. Although we had normal bikes, you did not need an electric bike. You could easily keep up with the biking because you stopped at quite a few places. Also, we had lots of little snacks on their way that we could try that came from Alicante.

5 out of 5 stars

This bike tour was amazing! We were only here for a day and helped us to see the whole city in a day. We were offered two surprise taste testing and learned about the history of the city. Would definitely recommend!
