Excellent Tour

Richard_P, Feb 2026

A brilliant tour with Vivi an excellent tour guide - we really enjoyed it. We had a great introduction to Ecuador

Solo bike trip not so exciting

Steve_K, Nov 2024

I was only person in group. The English of tour guy was not good enough to really tell me full details about places. Quito is not a fun bike ride and exhaust is pretty bad. I would not recommend bike ride for Quito.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Steve_K Thank you for sharing your thoughts. While not every guide may have perfect English, we’re committed to improve their communication skills to provide a richer experience for all our guests. We understand that city traffic and bus exhaust can be heavy, which is why we’re continually refining our routes focusing on quieter streets including all sites, scenic escapes for a more enjoyable ride. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’d love to welcome you back to experience these updates. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Kind regards, Catalina

Active, fun and different!

This was a great tour/activity. I personally enjoy riding bikes and getting to know a city on two wheels. The tour is about 4 hours long, and it can get challenging at times, with some of the hills plus the altitude. But overall, very doable and enjoyable. I was the only person for the tour that day and Carlos, my tour guide, was informative and funny as well. I definitely saw some part of Quito that I would have not seen otherwise. I enjoyed visiting the Santa Clara market and the Carolina park. The chocolate tasting was awesome and the pizza/beer at the end was well worth it. I got to meet the very nice owners of this bike our company. Both ladies were very welcoming and accommodating. The only suggestion I have is maybe to have a little more time at each stop to explore even more, like the market. I highly recommend this tour if you are looking for something active, fun and different!
