The tour was fantastic and bikes were high quality mountain bikes, essential for cobblestone streets. It is a great way to see Antigua and surrounding towns. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Every time was saw a packed tour bus go by we thought how lucky we were to be out on bikes. Stops were well scheduled giving us rest and detailed history and the chocolate and macadamia tours were quick and interesting. We covered a lot of ground and felt like we saw and learned about local culture. Recommend very highly.

Fantastic experience

Nice bike tour

Neeli_A, May 2025

The bike tour was a great way to see the surrounding towns of Antigua that you likely otherwise wouldn’t see. While we enjoyed the tour, we felt like the last stop at the macadamia farm wasn’t needed. And one thing we wished we had known was how much of the tour was going to take place on cobblestone paths. It was more than anticipated and wore us down after the first few hours. Otherwise, a nice tour! Don’t forget your sunscreen!

Awesome half day!

Save room in your daypack to make purchases at the chocolate, wine and coffee stops. Great way to see the areas surrounding Antigua.

I got a workout. There was one tough uphill and I wasn’t in the best shape for it. The tour was great. I learned a lot, got to eat some chocolate, got to taste some wine, and got a workout.

Good exercise and great to experience more of Guatemala.

Very enjoyable ride in the surrounding towns of Antigua. Quite energetic particularly a couple of big hills but we dismounted and walked. We visited some interesting sites including some churches and town centres. We were taken to several businesses which were interesting but did include some reasonably gentle sales pitches (chocolate factory, textile shops, macadamia farm). You need good riding skills as we went on some reasonably busy roads. Good quality bikes. Our guide was friendly and competent. Overall highly recommended.

Hidden gems and consideration

Meritza_A, Feb 2024

The locations visited, the stops in between the parks, the hidden church's create a beautiful experience, the great level of knowledge and consideration for customers form Crista to us was excellent .

Couldn't have been better!

Willie was an AWESOME guide! It was just me and I have a torn ACL, so Willie continued to check that I was doing okay and answered all my questions, no matter how many! A lovely day riding through the smaller communities around the center of Antigua and learning alot along the way! Top 3 highlights of my stay!
