Biking Vigo Bike Tours - Outstanding Experience! - We thoroughly enjoyed our E-bike tour with Biking Vigo. We saw a little bit of everything during our 17-mile ride (3 hours), from the Old Town, to the waterfront, stadium and beautiful beaches. The ride was very scenic and manageable - good for all riders. We highly recommend!

Top cycle tour of Vigo - Lovely cycle tour of Vigo town and port on quality bikes. Javi was a wonderful guide who took great care to ensure we had a safe and very interesting cycle. Javi is passionate about his city and he gave a very personal history of Vigo. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Brilliant Experience - My family (3 kids and wife) and I had a brilliant experience on this bike tour - an excellent way to see the coastline of Vigo and hear about some of the history of the city. Our tour guide Javi was excellent, both prior to our booking, getting us organised and being extremely helpful with some last minute issues. As well as being very engaging and informative on our actual tour. Loved hearing the history and his families connections to the city - made it all real and far more intersting than just bland facts. Bikes were well maintained and of good quality - would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vigo.

Brilliant. - This was a great cycling tour. We got to see a lot more than we would have done on foot, even getting out to some of the southern beaches.
Javi was knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about vigo.
Having the electric bikes was brilliant also, made light work on hills on a hot day!

Vigo coastline - The bike route was changed at the last minute. The city stops were now to be along the coastline instead. The 3 hr. Tour turned into a 4 hr. Tour. Way longer than expected which cut into our shopping time in this port before ship departure. The bike path taken along a creek was uneventful. No sights to see. Few photo opportunities.
Tour operators shared some history and were keen on our safety. Bikes were fun. Memories were made in Vigo.

We joined an e-bike tour... - We joined an e-bike tour of Vigo while visiting on a cruise and unfortunately found the experience underwhelming. While the bikes were in good condition and the views were nice in places, there was very little actual touring involved.
The guide offered minimal commentary throughout the ride—we passed some interesting areas, but had little idea what we were looking at or why they were significant. If you’re expecting a guided tour where you learn about the city’s history, culture, or landmarks, this isn’t it.
Also worth noting: the route was long and physically demanding at times, and included stretches on busy streets and steep hills that felt unsafe, especially for anyone not used to riding. This wouldn’t be a good fit for casual or inexperienced cyclists, even on an e-bike
One last heads up—the tour ends in the city center and doesn’t bring you back to the cruise port, even though you ride right by it near the end of the tour.
In short, it’s more of a self-paced bike ride with a guide leading the way than an actual city tour. Some nice scenery, but not a great value if you’re hoping to learn about Vigo
