Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was a fantastic day out. Tony and Chris are excellent, very helpful and friendly, and run a very efficient, professional business.
The whole event was well organised, punctual, safe and enjoyable and well worth the money.
I would definitely recommend The Downhill Bike Ride and it is suitable for people of all ages and abilities.

Great experience! I was completely dreading it in the morning and wondered what I had signed up for, but loved every second.
We were a group of 3, and the only people doing it so felt like a private experience! Tony our guide was great from start to finish - took time to show us the sights and some local history. Ask him to point out the Easter Island Head (Tony’s own spot!)
We’d recommend to anyone coming to the area and wanting to fill the day with something other than the pub!

Over 40k of the most scenic downhill bike riding. Kris and Tony are first class guides. We were a group of six with mixed abilities on bikes and two of the group hadn’t been a bike for a number of years, and it didn’t matter at all as we felt in safe hands.
From pick up, through instruction and ride, the service and friendliness of Kris, Tony and support team was great. The minibus was with us throughout so if at anytime we wanted to stop we could. If you want a truly different and natural experience in Benidorm this is surely it. We even saw tigers, elephants and giraffes as we passed by the local wildlife park.
We did this ride in early Feb, we took sleeved tops and some of us took leggings although the boys opted for shorts. I would recommend sunglasses and trainers plus take some euros for lunch and a beer at the end.

I'm a keen cyclist, but my wife's idea of a bike ride is a slow half mile to the nearest cafe. As a compromise on riding bikes on holiday, we booked on this day and didn't regret it. Kris picked us up at our hotel and took us off to pick up the other guests, a trailer full of bikes, and get us up to the top of a mountain. We were briefed on safety and followed our guide cyclist down smooth roads, empty of cars, almost completely dow hill with lovely twists and turns and sights all the way. We stopped every so often to be told about the sights and have a rest,though a rest wasn't needed. We barely needed to pedal to keep moving. Our guide was always at the front with the van behind us. They went at a speed that suited our group.
Once at the bottom, we loaded up the bikes, jumped in the van, and headed back up another mountain for another ride. After realising we were fairly competent, we also went a tiny little climb in, and I thoroughly enjoyed racing at full pelt after our guide, who was in a car for the third downhill.
My wife was delighted to get a certificate at the end and enjoyed the day much more than she expected.
I would highly recommend it to everyone, no matter your fitness and skill.

Tony and Kris were friendly and helpful guides on the exhilarating and scenic 45 Klms of downhill biking in the beautiful mountains behind Benidorm. Away from the bustling beach with the wind in our hair it was a fantastic day out. Lunch was at the (unexpected) zoo at Aitana and very nice it was too ( or you can take your own picnic). Finished up with a beer at the pretty village of Finestrat (almost impossible to find by bus but number 14 might take you there). Recommended highly, even for the lazy cyclist like me as it was all downhill 👏👏👍

We had a fantastic day out with Chris & Tony. The bike ride was easy, my partner is 71 and found it no problem at all. Fun, fast, friendly and well worth it. Bring warm clothes as it was cold but if you need to shed it the follow you with the van, no need to carry stuff.

WOW ! what a great day out. Firstly Tony & Christine were fantastic hosts. At the start everything was explained, bikes adjusted and time to get used to bike riding. Then three separate downhill rides with lunch after the second.
You can go at your own pace downhill. Tony stopped at various intervals to point out various sights. The scenery was fantastic. This is an attraction for all ages and if you wish you can always get in the mini bus following up. (Non of us did)
When we return again we are certainly going todo it again.
Give it a go, trust me you will not be disappointed.

Had a great day out with Tony and Tone, we were taken up high in the mountains and we cycled down 3 different routes downhill. Scenery was outstanding. The two guides were brilliant friendly and knowledgeable. We were never rushed on during the day and stopped at several points and given local information about the region which enhanced the experience. We were cycling where professionals train and the tight winding roads were amazing. We stopped for lunch and then stopped at the end for a celebratory drink. I cannot recommend this trip enough. Would do it again when I'm back.

Our 5th time to Benidorm and our 5th time on this ride and it was excellent as always. Good pick up time outside our hotel.
Kris drove us to join up with the other vehicle, opposite the Safari Park. In the car park had our safety brief and a practice ride around car park. Listen carefully to your brief, any questions always ask. Kris always gives clear and concise instructions and tips.
Then away we go. Lovely and exhilarating, breath-taking scenery, wonderfully quaint villages, lovely and pleasant cycling conditions too.
So am gonna condense this review as I have placed reviews in the past - we had some lunch at a rural restaurant, Omelette and Chips with a drink, delicious.
More cycling followed then when pulling into the large layby, I expected it to be over, how wrong I was, they allowed us to pedal further, which was great - and was directed to a bar and leave bikes next to trailer.
We all enjoyed a wonderfully chilled glass of beer and laughed and chatted.
Another great ride out!! Thank you so much, see you next time.

Just back from a two week stay in Benidorm, booked with this company for the Downhill Bike ride and 3 walks.
The downhill bike ride was a wonderfully chilled way to see the stunning scenery and pretty villages - with the surprising bonus of seeing tigers, elephants, giraffe as we cycled gently downhill.
The walks we booked on varied from a three hour gentle walk through the terraces around Relleu to longer ascents involving some scrambling. In each case the walks were very well led, adapting to the abilities of the group.
For every day we were promptly picked up from near our hotel, enjoyed post-activity refreshments in a quiet village (a different one each time), and dropped back.
I would thoroughly recommend.

Thinking of doing this in early March but really depends on the weather....
Can we book after we arrive in Benidorm say the day before?
It looks fabulous!
Written 7 January 2020
Hi, we always recommend to book in beforehand. If we are not able to operate due to poor weather conditions, we always offer to change the day. If we're not able to operate on the new day neither, we normally provide a full refund.
Therefore, we recommend to book earlier into your stay in the area to be a little bit more flexible in case the weather has turned against us.

Thanks a lot for your question.
It's up to you. If you are a group (8 or more people) we recommend to contact us directly in advance to reserve a day for you.
If you have got less members in your party you can either book in advance via Tripadvisor / Webpage / WhatsApp / Telephone / E-Mail etc. or you can book via our tour operators / at our booking office in Benidorm as soon you arrive here in Spain. Please, be aware that we can't accept debit or credit card payments on the day of the excursions. If you'd like to pay by card, please, book in advance.
At this time of year we can accommodate you at nearly any day except Sundays.
If you are traveling with children younger than 8 years, please, contact us in advance as well to discuss options. Please, be aware that children should be able to ride a bike safely and should be supervised by their parents at any time.
However, we welcome anybody who's able to ride a bike. The oldest person so far was 89 years old.
