Great bike tour of Santiago! - We did the full day tour (so both the morning Market tour, and the afternoon politics one) and they were both great! Especially for the market one, we felt like we saw areas of Santiago that we wouldn't have known about/gone to without a local. Very colourful and interesting! Ray was our guide and she was lovely, knowledgeable and very clear. She kept a good balance between providing useful info without overwhelming us. Great guide!

Green bike great - Easy ride with a good guide ( Diego) who explained and pointed out several spots, historical details and curiosities. We were a small heterogéneo group from England, Australia and Italy and enjoyed the ride ( partially through a little rain) as a quick immersion in everydays markets. The tasty surprise was a good add to it.

Fun tour! - Diego was amazing! Funny, engaging, and, knowledgeable. The ride was easy and you see several areas. The markets visited are very busy (on a Sunday) so a guide was helpful. We ate delicious sopaipilla and fresh fruit juices. I’d go again!

Markets Cycle Tour - We had a fantastic tour with Ionna. She was very informative and interesting and give us a lot of confidence cycling round the city streets. We really enjoyed walking round the markets too and would love to try another tour if we came to Santiago again.

A great 3+ hours - We rode with Loanna and she was great, very informative and gave us some interesting perspectives on Chili and its past plus colorful people. The World food market was really something hundreds of stalls selling about everything that is edible. The only downside is the Bikes are getting a bit old and cranky time for replacements.

Wonderful short bike tour of Santiago markets. - Wonderful guided tour with Diego and another female guide. Some challenges with the online booking, but through but with messaging with WhatsApp was able to secure spots and paid when we arrived the next day. The bicycles were in reasonable condition and everyone was provided with a full bottle of water and a helmet. There was some navigating through the Santiago Streets but with the guides, we were all able to do this relatively quickly and safely. When we got to the market, we were able to lock up the bicycles and have a guided tour through the extraordinarily busy and frenetic market. if you did not have a guide, you would just be wandering aimlessly through a labyrinth of crowded stalls. It was amazing to see this the side of Santiago. What was a treat with a juice and a fresh sopadilla. This was wonderful because it was near the end of the tour and we all had a chance to sit down at a table. Both of the guides are extraordinarily friendly and gladly answered any questions. Both of the guides spoke English. Highly recommended.

Clearly worth doing! - Our guide Ray was very helpful to safely take us to the markets and parks, not a very physically demanding cycling ride, mostly flat ride but very enjoyable!
