“This was an excellent, fun, well organised but very relaxed e-bike tour of Bilbao. Oskar was a great guide, very knowledgeable and also made it fun. Would recommend this tour, even for anyone not overly confident on a bike, as 98% of route was on cycle paths and avoided traffic. E-bikes were simple to use and took very little effort at all. Would definitely recommend.”

We biked at a leisurely pace, with frequent stops to learn different highlights of the city. Best tour of a city we’ve ever had. Highly recommend the private tour!”
