Cycling Tour Madrid by Benja

A One-Guide Bike Tour in Madrid

Cycling Tour Madrid by Benja is a small, guide-run business: Benja leads the bike tours and takes the photos along the way. Every tour on the site is in Madrid, and all of the regular tours start from one meeting point, Calle de Valverde 10. A newer tour heads out to the Carabanchel district. Prices are shown in euros.

The homepage introduces the guide. "Welcome! I am so excited to meet you and show the best places of this incredible city," Benja writes, explaining that "Six years ago, I arrived in Madrid to live and study for six months and I fell in love with this city." The pitch is simple: "I invite you to discover Madrid but in a different way... BY BIKE!" and "Through my fully personalized tours, you will be able to visit the most amazing and emblematic places in Madrid." The headline promise, repeated in the banners, is "you will get to know the best and most important parts of the city, and I will be your personal photographer."

The introduction is personal rather than corporate. Benja writes "Like you, I love traveling, visiting different places around the world and making new friends," and says travel "can, in some cases, change our lives." The homepage closes that section with "Are you ready? Because I am!" and a "Book an experience now!" button, which sets the tone for the rest of the site: one guide, speaking in the first person, offering a handful of rides.

The Tours

The site's tour section, headed "Choose your own Tour!" with the line "Different options depending on your time and pocket," lists the regular tours by bike type and length.

Madrid by Electric Bicycle + Photo Shoot + Tapas is marked "Most Recommended." It is a "4 Hours Tour" listed "from €81." It includes a "Professional Guide," an electric bike, "Photos," a 500 cc bottle of water and free cancellation, and "After the tour we will go to a typical Spanish restaurant to try the famous Tapas." A homepage banner sums it up as "Biking + Photos + Tapas."

Madrid by Electric Bicycle + Photo Shoot is a "3 Hours Tour" listed "from €63," with the same guide, e-bike, photos and water, without the tapas stop.

Madrid Regular Bycicle + Photo Shoot is a "3 Hours Tour" listed "from €48," on a standard bike, again with the guide, photos and water.

The newest listing, under "New Personalized Tour," is Carabanchel District by E-bike: local life & emerging Art. It promises "the Madrid you won't find in the guidebooks," describing Carabanchel as "one of Madrid's most authentic and creative neighbourhoods" and a place that "has become a growing hub for artists and cultural projects." The ride includes visits to "two contemporary art galleries" and "an introduction to Madrid's emerging art scene," with the aim of "discovering projects that are shaping the city's cultural landscape." The site pitches it as "An experience for travellers who have already seen the main sights and want to discover a more local, contemporary and authentic side of Madrid." No price or duration is listed for it; the page says "Book by WhatsApp or email and we'll coordinate the date and time."

The menu on the tours pages also links to a "Madrid Experience" and an "Online Experience," and a homepage banner offers help for anyone "arriving in Madrid" without plans: "I am going to give you the best advice and recommendations so that you can enjoy your days in Madrid and in all of Spain to the MAXIMUM!!"

How the Tours Work

An "Important information" box applies "to all 3 tours." It lists the formats as "Individual tour," "Couple (Private)" and "Private group (Max 8p)," so every format listed is either individual or private. The "Minimum Age" is "10 years." Under "What to bring?" it lists "Comfortable shoes" and "Sunscreen and sunglasses." The "Meeting Point" is "Calle de Valverde 10," with a map link. The bikes, regular or electric depending on the tour, come with the booking, and each tour includes water.

The photos are part of every regular tour: each includes "Photos," and Benja promises to be "your personal photographer." The site does not say how many photos are delivered, in what form, or how soon after the ride.

The homepage has a testimonials block titled "Our Bikers Stories!" and a feed headed "Madrid through Benja's eyes," described as a place to "Follow our latest tours, experiences and adventures around Madrid." Neither shows its content in text on the page, so the site gives no written reviews or ratings to weigh. The footer repeats the three regular tours as "Electric Bicycle + Photos + Tapas," "Electric Bicycle + Photos" and "Regular Bycicle + Photos," which makes clear that the photo shoot is built into every standard option rather than sold as an extra.

Booking and Terms

Each tour card has a "Book Now" button, and the Contact section invites visitors to "Send me an Email, a message over Whatsapp or just fill the form below." It lists the WhatsApp number +34 655 393 766, the email info@cyclingtourwithbenja.com, and the address Calle Valverde 10, Madrid. Every regular tour carries "Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour starts."

What the Site Leaves Open

The site does not say whether the "from" prices are per person or per booking, or what raises a price above the "from" figure, for example a couple versus a private group of 8. It does not name payment methods or say whether a deposit is taken. It does not list the languages the tours run in, the route or distance of each tour, or what happens if rain or heat cancels a ride. The Carabanchel tour has no published price or length. Each tour card shows a number in brackets (37, 22 and 18) that the site does not label. The site does not describe the fitness a ride needs or address accessibility.

The service suits travelers who want a private ride around Madrid with someone who will also photograph them, and the tapas tour adds a meal at the end. Travelers who have already seen the main sights can ask about the Carabanchel art ride. Groups larger than 8 are outside what the site offers.
