This was the highlight of our trip! Our guide Luis was amazing-we learned so much about the history and culture of Mexico from him! I feel like we saw the whole city on bikes-and had lunch at a local place-delicious! Luis took very good care of us and spent lots of time with us. The whole day exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend this bike tour. And I liked my bike!
Very interesting tour with Luis who explained things clearly and well and was very solicitous of us on the roads. We learnt a lot about this fabulous city and its long and varied history. We ate great tacos and had some delicious ‘fruit waters’ and stopped often so 41/2 hours went by really fast. Highly recommended
We had a great time seeing historic and interesting places by bicycle with Luis. Luis is an expert bicyclist, great at navigation, knowledgeable and eager to share, and an enthusiastic leader. We took this tour early in our trip to Mexico City which was a great way to orient ourselves and understand some basics. The information he shared made our whole trip more interesting.
We loved our bike tour with Luis! We covered so much ground during the tour, and he is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city/Mexican history in general so we learned a ton. He's also really plugged in to the biking culture of CDMX and it was interesting to learn about that as well. On top of everything lunch was delicious. 1000/10 stars.
A one of a kind experience! Totally child friendly, as we went with our two kids (13 and 16) and had a blast! Our tour guide was incredibly kind and patient, and was excellent at explaining Mexico’s history in an interesting and immersive way. He brought us to an amazing taco place for lunch near downtown and braved with us through a brief but strong rainstorm! Super fun and a 10/10 experience, would recommend to all! (From parents) The tour guide, Luis was friendly to all of us! Truly one of the kindest people I have ever met (from the 13 year old kid) Luis (our tour guide) made biking actually fun for me! I usually am not into biking (or excursions longer than two hours that don’t involve shopping) but he was super fun to be around and a generally very nice person! If possible, book with him :) (from the 16 year old)
What a great ride through CDMX! Luis was awesome and the ride was a wonderful experience! We combined the lush nature of Mexico City parks with a complete tour of the must see historical sites…a perfect combination. Luis was great and his knowledge of Mexico City unsurpassed. Take this ride with Luis…you will love it! Jerry
Our tour with Luis was fantastic!! Luis has a lot of knowledge of Mexican history and we had a lot of fun! We felt very safe on the street with Luis' guide! We recommend it 100% and hope to return to more tours!
We had a great time touring through neighborhoods and sites around Mexico City. Our guide Luis was warm and friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of this lovely city. My wife and I would highly recommend this tour. The cycling was fun and not strenuous at all, and we were treated to some delicious local tacos. The ~4 hour tour flew by and we felt very accomplished by the end of it.
First of all it’s not electric bike. But I’m have never bike in the city before this is my first time and I have to admit from now on I’ll take a bike tour every city I visit. it’s easy to ride at first on the street with normal traffic was scary for me but Luis make it safe and people her is super friendly. After 15mins we arrive the park. And it was peaceful. Even it super busy since it was on Sunday people take their family to park etc. but not stressful at all. I basically learn to be more chill among big crowds. Luis provided a lot of explanation education offer to take pictures etc. Almost at end of the trip we stop by at the taco place. It’s included with the tour. I’m from the US. I’m not a big fan of sugar if you like me you need to try their fresh juice. It’s not sugar added!! We missed the cathedral due with the protest. Which I’m disappointed in that but nothing we can control. I highly recommend
This bike tour was an amazing way to get an introduction to Mexico. We went to areas of the Bosque de Chapultepec that we wouldn't have known to visit on our own and our guide had tons of great insights. Then the ride between the Bosque and the historical district was a great way to get a sense of the vibe of the city and how to get around. We have two kids under 5 and they had bike seats for both of them to make for a great family adventure. The kids absolutely loved the view from the bike seats. And the biking infrastructure in CDMX is great so with a knowledgeable guide navigating, we never felt unsafe. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get a sense of the city or would like a little extra history.
Thank you very much, We are waiting for you for another ride when you return to México.
