This little tour is a great way to get a sense of the city. Lots of great history; food suggestions; and an expert and thoughtful guide. Plenty of time to ask questions. The bikes are simple and in good repair and helmets are available if you'd like one. Riding wasn't difficult and local drivers were accommodating. Highly recommend!

I came to Santa Marta as a solo traveler and wanted to get to know the city and learn more about its history. I think the Rent Bike tour nailed it. I got the chance to ride through the downtown streets, see a beautiful sunset, and really enjoy the city. Highly recommended. Great recommendations and excellent company.

      Juan Pablo did an awesome job with your and knew a lot about city history and a lot of great recommendations.

      A useful and fun way to explore Santa Marta.

      Sarah_W, Feb 2026
      A really useful and fun way to get a sense of the town. Our guide was great. The tour started a little late and went on about half an hour longer than scheduled, which was fine but worth knowing in case you planned something else afterwards.

      Fun way to explore Santa Marta

      Good bikes. Content had the right amount of story telling and history. It did get difficult to hear the tour guide sometimes as the street music was loud and group was large. I would recommend this tour.

      Great way to see around Santa Marta. The sunset was beautiful! Our tour guide was very informant spoke English well!

      Great tour...very safe!

      I know what you're thinking: biking on the streets of a Colombian city...are you crazy? Trust me, you'll be fine. We did our tour with Gabriel. His English was very good, and he did a great job of navigating us through traffic, so it never felt dangerous. He was very personable, and the tour was really informative. It was a great way to get to know the city on our first afternoon in Santa Marta and really helped us to feel confident exploring on our own afterwards. We even went on our own to some of the sites he pointed out to us on the tour. We ended up on the beach at sunset...can't get much better than that!

      Nice little tour of interesting points in Santa Marta.

      Luisa, the tour guide was super nice, energetic, and knew her stuff about history of each stop. Timing in the late afternoon was very good.

      Informative & Healthy

      Informative and interesting tour. Pipe was our tour guide and did a great job Entertaining as well as heathy for exercise

      Fun, affordable activity for all travelers

      Justin_C, Aug 2023
      I would suggest you make this the first activity you do when you get to town, as it's a great way to get acclimated/introduced to the city, you can ask questions of the guide, and meet some other tourists.

      Local Vibe & Relaxed and Enjoyable Bike Tour

      Wahagn_M, Apr 2023
      I went on this bike tour in downtown Santa Marta and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Colombia. The experience was very relaxed, and our guide made us feel at home in the city. We visited some landmarks such as the library, the beach, the church, and the school, and our guide gave us insights into the town's older as well as recent history. What made it special was that I had the tour with a local guide and one other participant who was also a local from the town who decided to join. It felt more like I was having a personal tour with friends than a traditional tour with a group of strangers. Nice local vibe & very enjoyable bike tour.

      Great experience

      Lana_I, Feb 2023
      Friendly, professional, fun. Definitely a great intro to the city. I don't know why viator asks for a long review for a short tour but here it is.

      Worth

      David is a very charismatic tour guide. He was able to talk about the history of Santa Marta while cracking jokes and making sure everyone was being safe on the bikes. Overall it's a great tour to take to dip your feet in some of Santa Marta's landmarks - it's also a perfect time for digital nomads as it starts after 5pm + an amazing sunset.

      Great experience

      Marcelo_B, Oct 2020
      It is very good! Nice tour! Great experience! The guide very polite! You can see the old city by bike

      Normalito

      El guia simpático pero el tour es básico y no se recorre gran parte. Está entretenido pero no esperes salirte de la zona que puedes hacer andando.

      100% recomendado

      Excelente experiencia, muy didáctica, Felipe el guía del grupo, muy profesional y comprometido, no necesitas ser un ciclista, es un paseo en bicicleta por el centro de la ciudad histórica

      Recomendado

      Mishell_D, Oct 2024
      Muy recomendable hacerlo al llegar a Santa Marta para poder conocer la ciudad, es importante saber que andas a lado de autos, motos y personas, si no estás acostumbrado.
