“We had a great laugh, David is a legend!! Not sure how much impact the pedals had but made it a good crack for a group full of cyclists. Trip lasted about 1.5hours, booze was flowing, tunes were banging - Bluetooth system so choose your own music. All in all a great laugh with nice views of the beach/city coast”

“Highly recommend the bike tour. The guise was extremely informative and opened our eyes to so many little areas of Alicante. She told us the history of many parts of the city and recommended different eateries, bars and authentic sweet shops too. The biking itself wasn't tough going either so people of all fitness levels should be able to do it. Book it at the start of your holiday to get the most out of it.”
