Favorite Day in Quito

5.00Our day with Mauro was excellent. The meet up instructions were easy and he sent us a photo. The bikes are in very good condition, we had no problems with them. Mauro provided a nice helmet, gloves, water, and a snack. We were able to store our rain jackets in the pannier. Mauro told us so much history about the old and new sections of town, Ecuador, culture. He was very tuned into our energy level and recommended a snack break when we began to feel peckish. He also had good recommendations for where and what to eat since we wanted traditional Ecuadorian food. Riding was in bike lanes and sometimes with the traffic. I am not accustomed to city riding but never felt unsafe. There were a few big hills but the bikes have good gears. I would definitely take this bike tour again
Fantastic tour!!! Mauro was full of knowledge and provided a great tour.

5.00I had an amazing experience with Mauro today. It was a perfect day where we biked all around Quito and saw some of the best sights all while riding our bikes through the busy streets. Mauro was knowledgeable, kind and very personable. I learned so many things about Quito and its history and enjoyed our little stops to try local drinks, chocolate’s and to digest the wonderful views. The bike ride itself was moderately hard, with some difficult hills, but Mauro paced the ride so well I never felt like I was lagging behind. Also he takes wonderful pictures which is a plus for a solo traveler like me. Book this tour you won’t regret it!

5.00I recommend this tour with Mauro to anybody visiting Quito who wants to see the city with a knowledgeable guide, all while enjoying the fresh air and getting some light exercise. Mauro is a great guy to hang out with…very personable. He is also very knowledgeable. He provided us with a lot of information about Quito, Ecuador, the Andean region, and the history of it all. I asked a lot of questions and he competently answered all of them. He picks a good pace, deftly guides through the city on a path with the least interaction with traffic, and stops to point out landmarks and give explanations. I felt the whole time that he was adjusting for a pace that we were comfortable with. Before we took the bike tour we had walked around Old Town, but being in a bike allows you to see so much more at your own pace. We stopped in museums, visited shops we wouldn’t have found on our own, and he seems to know the best places to get great views. My appreciation for the city increased tenfold after our tour.
Great insight to the beautiful town on two wheels

5.00Mauro is an excellent guide! It wasn’t only about biking in the city but more about culture and different places and the stories behind it. He was very kind to wait and spend time with us in all the places we wanted to stop. We had a four year old with us, you can imagine how that would have been and he was Great! Can’t recommend this tour enough :) great way to understand a bit about the history and culture of the beautiful city of Quito! He took us to a chocolatier and that is HANDS down the best chocolate and brownie we’ve had. If in Quito def take his tour.

5.00This bike tour was one of the highlights of my trip! Mauro was an incredible guide, super knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about Quito. He tailored the tour to match my ability level and personal interests, which made the experience feel very thoughtful and relaxed. We went well beyond the scheduled 4 hours, and I never felt rushed. I learned so much about the city’s history, culture, and hidden corners. If you're looking for a personal, active, and enriching way to see Quito, I highly recommend this tour and especially Mauro as your guide!
If you do one thing in Quito do this!

5.00This bike tour with Mauro was by far the best thing we did in Quito. Mauro took us all over the city from north to south( old town) and back again. Mauro showed us lots of interesting things that we would never have found on our own, we had coffee lemonade in a quirky cafe in La Mariscal, ate the best chocolate ice cream in the world and learned a lot about the history of Quito and Ecuador. Mauro was very well informed and patient, spoke great English and it was evident he is very proud of his city.
