A brilliant and fun experience! - Our fantastic guide Ulysses revealed Rio as a diverse and exciting city full of history, and culture. He answered questions about the politics, the people and character of the city. Excellent!

Beautiful and peaceful walk - Excellent bike ride along the coast of Rio de Janeiro to the center, Lapa, Gloria, Botafogo and the edge of the lagoon. The guide Ulisses was attentive and maintained a smooth and calm pace. Perhaps the part to improve is the route through Botafogo/ Humaitá to the lagoon where there is no bike path and the traffic is more intense and nervous. The experience is well worth it for anyone who wants to get to know Rio more closely!

Best way to see Rio in one day - The best way to see Rio de Janeiro in one day! Our guide took us to highlights like the beaches and the famous steps but also to the homebases of the big Rio football teams, an impressive old cemetery and good places to eat and have cafezinho. We recommend this tour to everybody, who likes to feel part of this big and beautiful city, cycling along the bike lanes and through the smaller streets.

Wonderful Bike Tour of Rio - Wonderful Bike Tour of Rio We love to take bike tours of the major cities we visit throughout the world. Marco was our guide for an excellent tour of Rio. We biked from 9 AM – 4 PM throughout the entire city and were able to see many of the main attractions (Sugerloaf, beaches, harbors, Christ the Redeemer, Cemetery, downtown buildings, etc.) from different vantage points. Marco was a very personable and really helped us learn about the city that he knows and loves. Great tour! Highly recommend!

Excellent your with Ulysses - Two of us did the full day tour with Ulysses. Bikes were fine - single speed and not for the Tour de France but good for riding around Rio for a a few hours. Most of the route was on cycle track and very flat. The route was interesting and Ulysses was fun and informative.

Ultimate Tour - Our tour was the Ultimate Rio Full Day. An adventure it was. Marco our guide was great. The food was delicious! If you don’t have much time in Rio then this is the tour for you. You get to see the whole city & scope out where you would next like to go & visit next.

Great way to see all the highlights! - Philip led our tour of two around the city for 8 hours (we ran over time)! He was an awesome tour guide, we had a really good time and learned a lot about Rio. I highly recommend this company. The route was comfortable and flat. Perfect way to see most of the city in a safe, fun way!

Highly recommended - This is such a great way to see Rio, and much more interesting and comfortable (in my eyes) than trudging around on foot in the heat. Our guide, Matt, spoke perfect English and was really thoughtful and friendly - keeping an eye on us at junctions and crossings, and ensuring we had stops along the way. If you're ok to ride a bike then you should be fine with the pace - the amount of cycle lanes are a pleasant surprise and it's a pretty flat route. Bikes are very good and comfy, and helmets are optional. My parents are in their 60s and were completely fine and found this to be a highlight of their trip. An interesting and healthy 3 hours!
