Revealing - The experience was incredibly positive.
It was the first time on an e-bike for all family members, and our guide, Kael, explained everything from patience and understanding.
It was an exciting tour with stops at iconic places and super-enjoyed and fun explanations according to the age of your audience.
Always attentive and willing, I would certainly always recommend the experience, but above all to the guide, without Kael, we are clear that it would not have tasted as perfect.
Thank you very much.

A fun and informative ride. - What a fun trip! The electric bikes are great - no problem on the hills and they are pretty steep in places. Our fab guide Fares took us to several amazing viewpoints and we stopped along the way to hear about the history and culture of Granada, Albaicin and Sacremonte. We even visited a little cave house museum. Fares was friendly and informative - a great guide. He also gave us tips for visiting the Alhambra and recommendations for a coffee shop and local restaurants that he uses himself. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it as a great introduction to the area.

Amazing e-bike tour. - Pedro was an excellent guide who definitely made me feel at ease on the e-Bike. He explained everything before we started and helped us set up the bike. He gave us tips for cycling around the city to ensure our safety and wellbeing. I was a little slower than the rest of the group but he ensured I was taken care of and comfortable with everything. He has great knowledge of the area was so friendly and easy to listen to. He even gave us extra tips and recommendations. We went to visit the church at San Miguel later that evening for the sunset by bus which we would have done without his information.
He is a credit to the business and I definitely recommend this e-bike tour to anyone wishing to see a bit more of the city. The group was small too which made a difference. You can just tell he loves his job and takes great pride in his work. Thanks again Karen and John Newcastle UK

Brilliant tour with local guide - Fares was an amazing guide - showing us everything you could want to see in Granada, including local/insider tips. He knew so much about the history of the city, its neighbourhoods, and the Alhambra. It was the highlight of our stay and we only wish we did it sooner!

Unbelievable views - Pedro was so patient and kind. I am 73 and struggled with my bike a bit. Finally fell into rhythm about 15 minutes of uphill travel. The tour was the way to see these beautiful areas of Granada. Walking would have been very difficult. The views alone from these neighborhoods are so worth this tour. We even visited a cave home.. Don’t miss this tour in Granada.

Great value way to spend two hours and learn about Granada - Excellent experience with Nico. In the 2 hours you’ll cover a lot of distance but the e-bikes make it feel quite leisurely. Nico was knowledgeable about the area and whilst the roads / streets you travel on aren’t particularly busy he made sure we were safe. There were only 2 of us on the tour so was also nice and personal but wouldn’t discourage anyone in a larger group.
