“Reeeally enjoyed this bike tour and would strongly recommend to anyone who was a super fun way to see Malaga! Beautiful scenic ride along the beach 😍 my friend and I also got to our tour 20mins late and the guy who spoke to us was kind enough to wait and escort us personally to catch up with the group as we could only do the tour that specific day. We’re incredibly grateful for accommodating us so that we could enjoy our Malaga trip even more! All in all, great tour and friendly helpful staff all round :)”

“Our tour with Ariel was fantastic. We were a small group (only of 3 people) so it felt very personalised and to us. We had plenty of time to ask questions about each stop and time to explore as well. Ariel’s is the perfect guide - friendly, personable, has lots of interesting information and willing to answer all our questions about Malaga, Spanish culture and more. Getting around by bike was (in our opinion!) a great way to see the city. We started the tour at 10am and finished at 1pm, therefore it was very comprehensive. Our favourite stop was the Marina, with beautiful views of the landscape and beach.…”

The young Spanish/American woman that helped us was very informative showing us and explaining the different route options we could go on. Great job on your second day and all the best for your future. We would high recommend using this service as it’s a great way to see a lot more than you would otherwise walking.”
