A bike, helmet, lock, basket and bottled water are included; this is self-guided, so you set the route and pace. 4.78 from 54 reviews at €10 per person for 2h. In our comparison: #14 of 17 in Bike & Segway Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Experience Retiro Park exactly the way you want to. A self‑guided tour gives you complete freedom: you choose the starting time, the pace, and how long to enjoy each spot. Stop for photos, relax by the lake, explore hidden corners or simply ride without a fixed schedule. With your map in hand, you create your own route and discover the park as a local would, without rushing, without a guide setting the rhythm, and with the flexibility to shape the experience to your interests. It’s the most personal and independent way to enjoy one of Madrid’s most iconic green spaces. ## Before you book - Meeting point: next to the entrance of the Retiro park… - 8 start times: between 10:00 and 17:00 - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €10: ages 5 to 13 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €10 per person for the CITY BIKE option; other options up to €15 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.78/5 from 54 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Rent Roll - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English, Spanish - Start times: 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-02 ## Reviews 4.78 from 54 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 96% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 52 of 54. - 5 stars: 45 (83%) - 4 stars: 7 (13%) - 3 stars: 1 (2%) - 2 stars: 1 (2%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers value the easy rental and freedom to explore Retiro by bike, though route guidance is inconsistent. **Praised:** - Easy collection and return at a bike shop close to the park - Comfortable bikes that many describe as well maintained - Helpful staff with bike setup and suggestions for park highlights - Exploring at your own pace and covering more of the park than on foot **Complaints:** - Some find route guidance lacking, while others get useful maps and directions Written by Guidekin from the 33 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2021-07-25 to 2026-09-23); last checked 2026-10-04. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | CITY BIKE | €10 / person | English, Spanish | city regular bicycle | | ELECTRIC BIKE | €15 / person | English, Spanish | Electric bike | ## What's included - Lock - Bottled water - Helmet - Bike - Basket ## Not included - Gratuities ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-02 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point next to the entrance of the Retiro park (Felipe IV gate) Map: https://www.google.com/maps/place/?q=place_id:ChIJMUe1qZsoQg0R5vOIxeFrzIA Ends: back at the meeting point ## Good to know - Public transportation options are available nearby - Specialized infant seats are available - Not recommended for pregnant travelers - Suitable for all physical fitness levels ## Compared with other Bike & Segway Tours | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #14 of 17** | €10 | 2h | 4.78 (54) | private | | [Madrid: 3 hour Guided Highlights Bike Tour with Optional Tapas](/spain/madrid/tours/madrid-3-hour-guided-highlights-bike-tour-with-optional-tapas/?format=md) | €29 | 3h | 4.95 (489) | shared | | [Madrid: City Highlights Guided Vintage Bike Tour](/spain/madrid/tours/madrid-city-highlights-guided-vintage-bike-tour/?format=md) | €29 | 3h | 4.96 (295) | shared | | [Madrid Segway Private Tour in Retiro Park](/spain/madrid/tours/madrid-segway-private-tour-in-retiro-park/?format=md) | €35 | 1h | 4.92 (355) | private | Ranked #14 of 17 in Bike & Segway Tours by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
