Such a great experience learning about the landmarks around Mexico City. Adriana and Norman were great. It was challenging due to the closures because of the World Cup but it did not affect our tour. Both of them watched us and guided us safely through traffic. Their enthusiasm and knowledge enhanced the tour. If you’re cautious about riding an e-bike or because of the traffic, don’t worry. They’ll take care of you. My wife hadn’t been on a bike for years and was really apprehensive. Afterwords she was so happy that she did it. I recommend for all from 10 - 90 years old. It’s very easy and you’ll get to see a lot of the center. The tacos and churros were great as well. They know all the good spots.
Met Eduardo at the designated location and received short instructions on the bikes and took off. Covered lots of ground in 1/2 a day and Eduardo led us around like a pro. Made several stops for food and explanations of landmarks & neighborhoods along the way. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Great way to see the city!
We had such a fun day getting to know the city with our amazing Guide, Adriana. this ride gave us a great overview of a variety of neighborhoods in the middle of Mexico City and gave us a good starting point to plan our next adventures.We went on a Monday so we were even able to ride through the Chapultepec Forest on a day that it’s closed for Cleaning. It was lots of fun to be the only people in the park. We also enjoyed delicious authentic tacos from small restaurants we would not have found on our own.
I completely understand why this is one of the highest-rated e-bike tours across all the travel sites—it exceeded every expectation! Our guide, Adriana, was exceptional!! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Mexico City and answered every question from our group with confidence and enthusiasm. Beyond her expertise, she was patient, kind, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the tour. One of the things I loved most was the small group size. There were only six of us, coming from different parts of the world, which made the experience feel personal and interactive. Adriana's English is excellent, making it easy for everyone to follow along and enjoy the stories. A favorite moment was our relaxing ride through Chapultepec Park, one of the largest urban parks in the Americas. It was such a peaceful and refreshing part of the tour. We even stopped to enjoy a live performance in the park, making the experience feel even more authentic and memorable. Another highlight was the food! We stopped at both historic, iconic taco spots and humble neighborhood taquerías, and every bite was incredible. It was the perfect way to experience Mexico City's amazing food culture beyond the typical tourist (trap) attractions. The e-bikes were easy to ride, the route was well planned, and we always felt safe. This tour is the perfect combination of history, culture, delicious food, fun, and relaxation. If you're visiting Mexico City, don't miss it—it was hands down one of the highlights of my trip, and I would book it again without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was my 3rd time on this bike tour over many years. Each time I visit with any friends new to Mexico City this tour is a must. Great way to experience the different neighborhoods, learn a little about the history and culture and try a couple tacos. I recommend this activity towards the beginning of your visit. Really helps you get a glimpse of various activities throughout the city to return to later, and a great opportunity to get great pictures at some of Mexico City's best sites. Our tour guides were amazing, super friendly and gave us many recommendations. I would absolutely book this again if I come back.
Amazing tour! The ebike takes like a few minutes to get used to but it is quite easy to use and it was great that we could cover so much in so little time. It was also good that I chose a Sunday as Mexico city closed their main road to allow for cyclists. The guide was also very patient and explained the places well at each stop. It was a summarised version and it does make me want to come back to Mexico city!
Our bike ride was amazing. We had a small group, just 4 plus our guide. We went through so many neighborhoods of the city, and got to see many different sides of it. There were stops along the way, where we had time to explore some of the highlights, and even included a stop off at the FIFA fan experience. The taco stop was fantastic! We learned a lot, and even found new things to do based on our bike ride! It was a lot of fun - hughly recommended!
A perfect way to spend a morning in Mexico City. We cruised through beautiful neighborhoods, discovered places we’d never have found on our own, and learned so much along the way. The e-bike takes the effort out of cycling so you can focus on taking it all in. The city is bike friendly and Eduardo made the experience super fun!
We had a great time in Mexico City with this bicycle tour! Our guide was so friendly and nice, introducing us a lot of history stories about this stunning city with a great sense of humor. The bicycle was new and safe, you can ride like an electronic moto OR like the mountain bike by switching to the sporty mode. I LOVE this tour THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST PART OF MY TRIP IN CDMX!
Bikes were great and most importantly Fernando made it a great experience. Will do it again. Thank you
