A Closer Look at the Tour Experience

This 4-hour e-bike tour kicks off at the Marco Polo office in Avenida de Europa, a central spot in Benidorm, making it easy to find and start your adventure. From there, it’s a gentle ride along designated paths, with options to visit either Altea or Villajoyosa—or perhaps both if you’re feeling ambitious.

The Altea Route

We loved the way this route transitions from the lively Benidorm environment to the more serene, artsy vibe of Altea. Starting with a ride past Levante Beach and the villa neighborhoods of Rincón de Loix, the trip takes you through a landscape dotted with orange, lemon, and almond groves—a reminder of the region’s agricultural roots.

The highlight is definitely the stop at the harbor of Altea, where you can take a coffee break and enjoy the views of boats bobbing in the water. Walking through the old town, with its whitewashed houses and narrow streets, you get a real sense of local life and charm. The guides are praised for their friendliness and knowledge, making the stop informative and relaxed.

The Villajoyosa Route

If you choose Villajoyosa, the ride takes you through the historic part of Benidorm and along the quieter Poniente Beach before winding through gardens of mandarin and orange trees. You’ll pass by colorful houses of the old town, a feature that captures the spirit of Villajoyosa perfectly. The local gardens with vegetables and fruits in the homes’ gardens tell you about the area’s deep-rooted farming traditions.

A stop at the beach boulevard, with its renewed look and sunny terraces, offers a chance for a refreshing drink and some people-watching. Visiting the Sailing Club and Fisher Harbor adds a maritime touch, giving you a full picture of the seaside town’s lively yet laid-back atmosphere.

What You’ll Experience

Throughout the tour, the friendly guides ensure everyone feels comfortable and informed. Their knowledge makes each stop more meaningful, from historical tidbits to tips on local spots. The use of electric bikes makes covering longer distances more manageable, even for those not used to cycling regularly.
