5.00Carmen picked us from the hotel with the bikes. She took us to the prestigious Boca Grande, Castillo Grande of Cartegena on a bike tour. Altough the traffic was a lot with trucks as well, she took us through the streets safely. She also made explanations about the buildings cafes St Martin st and Cartegena. And all the three of us hadn’t been biking for quite sometime.

5.00Great experience with Bike and Arts. They do a wonderful job and highly recommend this tour to any guests visiting Cartagena. Worked out great for the time we were there from the ship for an excursion. City is very busy so was a difficult navigating thru traffic but once we got onto the side streets it was very pleasant and enjoyed all of the sights!
Biking early in the morning the nicest way to discover Cartagena's heart

5.00We are a four-member family, my husband, two 9-year-old girl and boy twins and I. We were at Bike and Arts at 7:45 am. We had booked the private tour a week before. Everyone in the shop was nice and down to it with the bikes and with us. We were lucky for the traffic went easy because of the date and the time of day. For the kids, it was their first day ever in Cartagena, and it was an amazing ride on Colombian national day July 20th. We went through the just awakening streets, up to the walls of the murallas, crossed plazas and saw people's smiles and colorful houses, plants, balconies. Jaime our guide was friendly, proffesional and full of local swing.The flow was perfect both to enjoy and to have a first hand taste of the places we would like to return later during the week.
