The route he chose took us to parts of Madrid we would not otherwise have seen, which were interesting and beautiful. I'm very grateful that we did this tour (a friend had recommended it). I would recommend it to anyone except a nervous or unsteady cyclist. I am 60 and bike rarely and found it easy to do and a great way to see the city, especially the park system.

My mom and I did their 4:00 PM E-bike tour this past week. It was a great experience and our guide…read morewas excellent! I would recommend doing this tour on your first day/afternoon in Madrid so you can get acclimated to the city and see some of the main sites. Our guide, Fran, was knowledgeable, personable, and animated. The background he provided at each of the sites was interesting and helped us learn more about Madrid and Spanish history. He also had great tips and recommendations for where to go in Madrid. The tour was about 10-15 people I'd say. It was a good size to command enough attention to safely drive on the road in a lane but have everyone stay together. They provided a water bottle, helmet, bike. Fran even took us to a special "surprise stop" at the end (churros!). With the E-bike, you could adjust the assistance and you still pedaled to make the assist go, but it was a good choice to have some assist as there are hills and you don't want to worry about having to keep up on going when you're driving in a lane on the road. The shop also has bikes, roller blades, and skate/penny boards for rent.

Rental was quick and easy, you have to leave your ID and 2 hours was about $7.50 euros per person. We easily explored the parque in 1 hour with time for photos and admiring the beauty it offers. Definitely recommend!

This my first bike tour in a city and I have to say I was extremely impressed!!! If the weather is…read morenice you probably can't go wrong with this tour. We chose this tour because we love cycling back home! We never imagined this tour was going to be that amazing.... It's made for all levels and we felt very safe. Our tour guide was awesome and he was multi-lingual and very knowledgeable. It was awesome because this truly allowed us to get acquainted with the city we then knew where we wanted to later visit. We went through all the major plaza's, parks, and special monuments. Our guide was also amazing! He gave us great suggestions on bars, restaurants, night clubs and flamenco show! I can't remember his name but I do remember it started with a G. I would definitely do this again when I return to Madrid. Enjoy!

IMTBike Madrid...Excellent from start to finish. Just…read morereturned from a 10 day rental (self guided) from Madrid up to Biarritz, FR. My son and I both had BMW F750GS. Mine had only 4k km on it, his had 40k but both were excellent. Nicely optioned, and in perfect condition. The shop is located on the outskirts of Madrid, makes a nice launching point for any tour of Spain. Staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and set us up much more efficiently than any other agency we have worked with. They were also understanding and efficient on turn in. I had dropped the bike at about 1/2mph and banged up a case and brake handle. The charges were reasonable, and not outrageous like most car rental firms would have been in EU. They include insurance, and roadside assistance in every rental ($2k deductible), no surprises or extra charges. The new BMW bags are great and also included in the price. All in all, probably the nicest bikes, best overall rental experience ever. Highly recommended. (Previous trips include renting in Rome, London, Bali, Lisbon, San Francisco).

We did an IMT Bike guided motorcycle tour of Morocco in October, 2023. IMT runs a nice operation…read more Their guides are friendly, knowledgeable, and multi-lingual. The motorcycles (in our case, BMW GSs) are well maintained. Morocco was a mixed experience for us. Some of the scenery was breathtaking (the Sahara); some was depressing. Moroccan roads are generally in excellent condition. It is evident that the country is trying hard to attract tourism - perhaps too hard. We found the people of Morocco friendly, but constantly trying to sell you something. Many of our planned stops were at, what I would describe as, tourist traps - full of trinkets and hard-sell tactics. Our two down days were spent on optional tours of local markets and areas of interest. Our guides for those days were described as local "UNESCO Volunteers" who would give us "authentic experiences". It was apparent that they were affiliated with the leather, rug, and spice shops that we toured, as we received very high-pressure sales tactics from them and from shop personnel. I found this uncomfortable and disappointing - not what I signed up for. Lodging was good, but not up to western standards (ie poor air conditioning, cleanliness, had to purchase bottled water, some rude employees). The local Riads were indeed authentic, and we enjoyed the experience - it was the larger hotels that lacked. My one other criticism would be the riding pace. Some of us felt it was too fast. I've been riding for forty-five years and consider myself competent - even expert - but we were riding two-up, and were in Morocco to tour, not to race. We always felt rushed while riding. That said, the guides were (again) very good - likely the highlight of this tour.
