This was our favorite experience in sunny Seville, a family-friendly bike tour 👨‍👩‍👦.

Initially, I was a little worried about how our two-year-old son would do because he hadn’t ridden in this kind of bike seat before, but he did great! I also had peace of mind in having a private guide, knowing we could easily tailor the tour depending on how he was doing ☺️.

With the help of our local guide, we saw most of the monuments, cycled through residential neighborhoods, and learned along the way. Seville is flat and has fantastic bike lanes making it the perfect place to explore on two wheels, whether you’re a family, a couple, or even solo 🚲.

We love privately guided experiences to make the most of your time in a city, especially if you’re traveling with young children.

Stay tuned as we travel farther south 🇪🇸!

Travel is Powerful. Time is Precious.

You, Your Trip, and Your Time are our Top Priorities.

At Abbay’s Escapes, a boutique travel advisory, we specialize in tailoring unique itineraries and experiential travel for you by planning for your most precious asset - your time. We spend time getting to know you, and then we leverage our relationships and deep insider knowledge to deliver a first-class seamless experience based on your unique tastes and preferences.

As an independent affiliate of Brownell Travel, a Virtuoso partner, we have preferred relationships with the industry's best hotels, resorts, and tour operators. Our relationships and deep insider knowledge add value to your travels by saving you countless hours of planning time and through finding experiences that can’t be found via an internet search.

Abbay believes that experiences that shape and define us go hand in hand with the power of travel. For her, a bucket-list trip to Europe with girl friends inspired her to apply for an international placement opportunity through her global accounting firm. Originally from Alabama, little did she know that her short-term placement in Auckland, New Zealand would forever change the course of her life and turn into something more permanent, a new home and a place where she would launch a new business to help others travel.
