This is a great tour to learn about Montevideo and see the city. Being on a bike is worlds better than lurching around on a tour bus and much quicker than walking. The picnic spot was beautiful and the lunch was better than expected. Tour operator and owner is very friendly.

Valentina was an amazing tour guide. The pace of tour was relaxed even though we saw so much. Valentina helped me figure out some other plans for my week too. The bike was comfortable.

A great way to explore Montevideo

JASON_W, Mar 2026

This tour was a great way to explore Montevideo. Valentina was friendly and informative. Cesar did a great job fixing a flat tire quickly when one of bikes got a flat, and sharing a mate with us.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed exploring Montevideo with us. We really appreciate your feedback!

Wonderful day!

Edward_A, Mar 2026

We had a wonderful day with Valentina and Cecil. We had a great ride and only 2 incidents. One a flat tire and a new bike was delivered quickly and a chain came off and immediately put back on. I think it was a fluke because the bikes are newer. We stopped for our picnic and there was so much food. The empanadas were delicious, along with the homemade apple bread and other desserts. I would recommend the e-bike as when we were riding along the river it was windy and the e-bike personally helped me a lot. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a lot of fun.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re very happy to hear you had such a fun day with Valentina and Cesar. Thank you as well for recommending the e-bike, it really does make a difference on windy days by the coast. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Good Biking Experience

Michael_C, Mar 2026

Great way to see the old town and learn the history of the country. Ride through the modern areas on the way to a beautiful ride on La Rambla along the beach. Since all the signage at the monuments and at the mausoleum of Jose Artigas is in Spanish, It would have been more informative if our guide had interpreted that informative for our group that did not speak Spanish. Also, as an experienced cyclist, better safety instructions for biking in a group through city streets should have been given for those who are not as familiar. Thank you for introducing us to the Mate drink custom!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback and for joining our bike tour. We are glad you enjoyed discovering Montevideo, the ride along the Rambla and the mate experience. Your comments about interpreting the monument signage and providing additional safety instructions are very valuable. We continuously work on improving our tours and will certainly take this into account with our guides. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope you had a wonderful stay in Montevideo.

We did this tour while on...

Janice_M, Mar 2026

We did this tour while on a cruise. It was a great way to tour the city highlights with a guide, including along the Rambla. We opted for e-bikes and were glad we did as it was quite windy along the water. The snacks provided were very tasty as well.

Outstanding professionalism and Compassion

Phoebe_H, Feb 2026

We arrived early and were warmly greeted by Lara and Valentina. The bicycles were in excellent shape, but due to a health condition it became apparent my husband wouldn't be able to ride, and thusly I couldn't either. The staff was so very compassionate and did not make us feel bad about a last minute cancel. They even refunded our ticket which is above and beyond. We heard from others that the ride was amazing. Next time! The communication before our outing was excellent as well, keeping us updated and excited!. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for the recommendation and for choosing us.

Tigran_T, Jan 2026

It was a great private tour through Montevideo with Valentina, she is very knowledgeable about the city, and I finally got to have some mate during the picnic.

A great way to see Montevideo in a half day. Lara’s communication pre tour was excellent and Valentina, our guide was, funny, laid back, informative and great company.

Great option for cruisers

virginia_b, Jan 2026

It was only about eight blocks from the cruise port. Although the cafe is a reference point, the actual parking garage with the bikes is about half block downhill towards the port from the cafe. I’m so glad this tour now has the option of electric bikes and I would advise you to take that option.The e-bikes are new and much needed.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks so much for sharing these practical details and your experience. The meeting point explanation is very helpful for future guests, and I’m happy to hear the new electric bikes made such a difference. We truly felt they were needed, so it’s great to see them appreciated.

What a delightful time we...

Erin_G, Oct 2025

What a delightful time we had biking through Montevideo with Lara and her excellent team! Covering the history of the nation from Pre-columbian times to the present day, we learned about how Uruguay rose to be the progressive and economically stable nation it finds itself today. The monuments and architecture of the old town gave a perfect background for the history lessons. The ride down the Rambla at beachside, offered views of the River and lovely beaches adorned with colorful murals and beachside parks. We then stopped for lunch at a central park filled with fountains, benches and tables created from tile mosaic. In this relaxing location, we shared stories and learned about each other's cultures. The whole experience culminated in a shared drink of Mate, a local favorite.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! It was a pleasure biking through Montevideo with you and sharing our history, culture, and a good mate together. We’re really happy you enjoyed the tour. You’re always welcome back to explore more of Uruguay with us!
