Meet Yves · founder & local guide in Madrid

Hi, I'm Yves. I design every Dinamo route, and I lead every tour myself.

It’s me — a local guide in Madrid, born here — a bike, and a Madrid I’ve been crossing slowly for twelve years. If you’d like to know who you’d be riding with before you book, you’re in the right place.

“Yves is a true connoisseur of his city, and this boutique bike tour was such a wonderful and fun way to discover a large part of it. We were able to see so much, from green spaces to city insiders. This is a must.”

“Great historical context, authentic local tips, and amazing photo spots. Thanks to the small group size — max. 8 people — you get all the insights and discover spots most tours skip.”
The story behind Dinamo

How a French-Spanish kid raised between Madrid, Algiers, and Casablanca ended up guiding this city for a living.

I was born in Madrid to a French mother and a Spanish father, and grew up moving between Algiers, Casablanca, and back to Madrid. I’ve watched this city from inside and outside since I can remember, and I’ve been crossing it on the bike and on foot for the last twelve years.

In 2014, walking the Camino de Santiago, something clicked: a place becomes a place when you slow down enough to notice the seams. The mercados. The side streets. The corner where two barrios stop pretending to be the same one. That’s the Madrid I work — its plazas, its mercados, its corner cafés, and the woman behind the counter at all three.

I design every route. I lead every tour. There’s no team of guides behind me — when you book, you ride with me. It’s not a marketing line, it’s how my calendar works.

The question people rarely ask

Are you really the one leading every tour, or is that marketing?

I am. Every booking on the calendar is one I’ll personally show up to. If I can’t be there, the slot gets blocked rather than handed off. The day Dinamo grows beyond me, you’ll read it here first.

Ready when you are

You picked Madrid. Pick the three hours of it you'll actually remember.

Tell me when you’re in town and I’ll point you to the tour that fits. For most people that’s the Hidden Madrid bike tour, every day at 10:00 and 15:00; if you’d rather ride as your own group, the private tour is yours. Spring and autumn weekends fill first, so a few days’ notice helps.

Cancellation up to 24 h before · Same guide on the day as on this page · I reply to questions within 24 hours, usually faster.
