About this tour
When Em from our team tried this electric bike tour through Casa de Campo, Madrid's sprawling urban park, it felt like the city's best-kept green escape. Two hours zipping past Civil War–era trenches, the striking Serpents Bridge, and tree-lined paths without the usual Madrid heat or exhaust fumes. The e-bikes do the heavy lifting, so it's accessible whether you're a regular cyclist or haven't touched pedals in years. Mixed-ability groups keep things relaxed; our guide kept the pace steady and knowledge flowing about the park's layered history.
Highlights
- E-bikes handle Madrid's slopes — no leg power needed
- Civil War trenches visible and explained by guide throughout
- Serpents Bridge delivers genuine 'didn't know that was here' moment
- Small groups (12–15 per guide) mean actual conversation, not herding
- Green route cuts through city noise and traffic completely
- Raincoats provided — tour runs rain or shine without fuss
- Helmet and liability sorted; safety feels matter-of-fact
What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the park entrance (public transport gets you there fine, no hotel pickups included). After a quick helmet and bike check, you're off at an easy rolling pace. The first stretch winds through the park's quieter sections before hitting the Civil War history — your guide points out trench systems built decades ago, now grassy depressions beneath the trees. The Serpents Bridge appears mid-tour, a genuine architectural highlight you'd miss on foot. The e-bike motor means even slight climbs feel effortless; stops happen naturally for photos and explanation rather than breathlessness.
Two hours sounds short until you realise you've covered ground that'd take twice as long walking. The park opens up with clear sightlines across Madrid on one side. Weather doesn't derail things — rain gear's in the kit — though heat in summer means an early morning slot beats midday. Groups stay tight enough that you hear the guide without shouting.

Good to know
This tour genuinely suits all fitness levels because the electric motor does the work; kids as young as 10 can manage it comfortably with an adult. The park itself is Madrid's best breathing room — green, quiet, and genuinely interesting once you know the history. Small-group caps mean you're not a number. Raincoats and insurance are sorted.
Not pregnant? You're fine. But if you've never ridden a bike, the e-bike handling takes two minutes to click, and guides are patient. The tour starts outside the park, so you need to get yourself there via metro or taxi — no hotel pickup included, which affects early starts. Route times vary; don't bank on exact timing. Summer heat can make midday tours uncomfortable despite the breeze. Kids under 10 aren't welcome.
Wear comfy shoes (you're not walking much, but getting on/off matters). Bring water. Groups split around 12–15 per guide. Ask about other-language guides if needed — it's possible with advance notice. Duration's roughly two hours but flexible.
