We had a great tour with Henry. The group was small (6). The bikes were comfortable, and we covered a lot of ground within the older walled part of the city. Henry was knowledgeable and very kind. I liked that he shared a lot of the history and his own perspective as well. He also did a great job keeping us safe. He enlisted the help of a driver or two to keep traffic at bay the few times we had to ride on busier roads.

We Saw So Much!

Melissa_M, Jul 2024

Riding around Cartagena on Saturday afternoon/evening was truly an adventure! My teens and I have been on many city bike tours, but nothing quite like this one. The first part of the tour requires navigating through city traffic; the second part of tour was more in pedestrian areas. The bikes weren't fancy, but they were functional. I walked my bike up to the top of the city wall, but the teens managed to pedal up. The guide was told a variety of stories of the city's history from the more recent art to the early European settlements.

Great experience

Georgina_M, May 2024

Great educational experience with a lot of picturesque sites. However, be aware that you MUST feel comfortable cycling on surface streets and around vendors and pedestrians. With that said, it was a great time. Nick was our tour guide and he was very sweet and helpful.

Fantastic experience

Rick_L, Nov 2023

The tour was great and King Felipe showed us the sights and history of Cartagena. Highly recommend going with him!

Great experience.

The guide was excellent and showed us varied parts of the walled city of Cartagena. One of the highlights was watching a sloth climb down a tree.

Great short tour of Cartegena by bike

Deneen_C, Apr 2023

We were on a cruise ship with a very short port time in Cartegena. We got a taxi from ship over to the bike shop in the walled city. We met our tour guide Jhony Serrato. He explained about the safety and biking in the city with the traffic. Gave us a helmet and bottle water and off we went. We explored the walled city and its different neighborhoods. Got to stop along the way and take alot of photos. We learned alot of history of the city from Jhony. We enjoyed this tour very much. We even stopped at an emerald jewelry shop to learn about emeralds. I highly recommend this tour. The bike ride wasn't too strenuous. Just make sure you have sunscreen and some sun protective clothing on.

Justine_C, Dec 2022

Shame my photos wouldn’t load for the review but brilliant bike tour. THE most amazing guide Jaime who showed us all the sites. Like riding around cartegena with a local celebrity, he knew everyone so really made it feel like you were amongst locals. Fantastic way of getting your bearings and understanding the layout of the city. Fantastic time. Would 100% recommend.

Fun bike tour through Old Town Cartagena

Shelby_D, Sep 2022

This was such a fun tour. Our guide John was great! We got to bike through the beautiful Old Town and it was absolutely beautiful! We got to stop and take pictures, learn about the history and take in all the culture. And being on the bike allowed us to see so much. I highly recommend this tour!!

Great way to see the city

Carolyn_H, Aug 2022

It was a very relaxing ride around the old city. Our guide was very nice and interesting. He told us about the history and gave us an excellent recommendation for lunch after

Excellent experience! Highly recommend!

Sundi_F, Jun 2022

Carmen, Jaime, and the entire team at Bikes & Art was wonderful!! We had to move our time for our tour as the highway was shut down due to a bike race, and we were unable to get into the city center at our originally scheduled time. The team was flexible and gracious. Jaime, our tour guide, was excellent. Fun, knowledgeable, and able to help us easily navigate the busy streets and traffic throughout Cartagena. We are SO glad we did this tour! I highly recommend!!

Fun and interesting tour with exercise!

Jill_G, Jan 2022

Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the area and history. He provided so much information on the tour, covered a lot of the area and kept us safe. It was a really fun experience and I would highly recommend. A great way to see more of the city than a walking tour.

Great way to see Cartagena

Excitement in Cartegena

Stephen A, Jan 2020

My family and I went on this tour the other day. This is handled through Sico Bikes located in the Old City near San Diego Plaza. They were very accommodating to our request for an earlier time due to the heat/humidity that day. Cartagena is very humid... and this is from someone who lived in South Florida 4 years. The bike tour is for someone who is comfortable with navigating heavy traffic on a bike. I found it quite exciting and fun, but if you aren't that type of person, you should choose a walking tour. You get to see a large part of the city and you get some information on each site. The guide provided a high level overview and not a ton of details which was fine with what I was looking for. Note that cars are flying around you most of the time, and you sometimes are on the sidewalks going around pedestrians. One of my teenagers had a hard time because they weren't skilled in biking. Overall I"m saying 4 stars. Some in my family suggested a 3 and others at 5...

Nice way to explore the city

Amika B, Jul 2019

Went on this yesterday with a small group. The tour leader was knowledgeable about local history and architecture. The breeze from the ride was nice, but def check the weather to go at a cooler time when the sun isn’t so hot and wear wick clothing!
