5.00We went on a bicycle tour through keto on a rather busy day in the city. Danielle provided excellent guidance on navigating a beautiful city with plazas in narrow streets in the old town. Had a wonderful chocolate tasting and felt that we got bearings on the city and all it had to offer. It’s a great way to start a visit and and understand everything that keto has to offer. As we came to know this Tours operator we learned that they’re capable of longer bike, excursions and multi day tours of the full extend of Ecuador. I would highly recommend them for that one day or afternoon excursion or a multi day trip through the regions of Ecuador. We actually followed up the next day with a full day excursion on the cable car and into nature reserves because of the positive experience we had with Catalina, Daniel, Paul and their operation. Excellent communication throughout.
This was an awesome tour...

5.00This was an awesome tour all around. Our guides Milton and Alejandro were a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. It was a great mix of history and culture, with a beautiful and not too strenuous bike ride. Highly recommend!

5.00There were so many good things about this tour but the best was the tour guides, the information they provided on the different communities and the cultural sites we saw. The cycling was also very good, going through many small rural villages. The bikes were in great condition as were the gloves, safety vests and helmets they provided. This tour is definitely a 10/10!!

5.00I recently had the most incredible experience on a bike tour in Ecuador, and I can't recommend it enough! If you're visiting Ecuador, this tour is a must-do. The service was excellent, and our guides shared the rich culture of their beautiful country in a fun and engaging way. Every place we visited was absolutely stunning. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to explore Ecuador on two wheels!
Loved biking Quito!

4.00This is a great tour of Quito, you get to see a lot of history, go to a market, see cathedrals, etc. if you’re in decent shape you should be fine, there are hills towards the end of the of ride. This was supposed to be a 4 hour tour but it ended up being 7.5 hours, so please note that if you go, it could be much longer than expected. It didn’t include lunch and with how long it went over we got really hungry and had to eat lunch at the chocolate tasting. I think the tour company might want to mention the actual time frame next time. It was a great tour though!
Fun and safe

5.00Great way to see Quito Roberto and Milton made the experience great. They know a lot about history wildlife and they take you to city parks that you would never see on any other tour. A few hills. I had to stop and walk the bike but otherwise not difficult
Best way to s see Quito

5.00The guides were very accommodating and informative on the city. We stopped at the beginning to do an activity. We went into new town then old town Quito. At the end we stopped at a chocolate tasting (very delish). There were 2 big hills but not too bad. We did have to ride basically all the way back to the starting point to return the bikes back to the office, but the ride back seemed easier and faster.
