Best way to see the city with locals!!! - We had the absolute best time! Our flight came in at 1:20pm and we headed straight to our biking tour, I was coordinating with Jose before & they were so kind that they allowed us to leave our luggage with them because we did not have time to go to the hotel first. I cannot recommend this to a more for you to do! Jose and Harmon are truly the most wonderful people! They know so much about the city, and really want to show you the charm and beauty of this very historic city. We biked all around the city which takes about 2 hours, Herman would make sure that we were safe while crossing in traffic. Also Herman is an amazing photographer, all our pics came out lovely, they are an awesome family business! We learned so much and it was an awesome way to see the city! It was our first day and it really gave us a good Birds Eye view of the city and things to continue exploring on our trip !
Don't think twice about booking this experience! Also even if you're going in the hot months, the breeze and route that they take is shaded and covered so you won't feel the heat!
I hope to be back to do the bike & bite tour!

Wonderful bike tour of Cartagena! - I had a fantastic time on this 2 hour bike tour of Cartagena! Evelyn, our guide, was knowledgable, friendly and took good care of us. I am a 72-year old woman who bikes regularly. Just be prepared to bike through traffic and throngs of people. But it is well worth it to see so much of the city!

Great Overview of the Center - Overall a good overview of the historical center. I found the first hour very interesting but we moved into louder and more crowded neighborhoods in the second hour and it was very hard to hear the guide.

Unfortunately helmets... - Unfortunately helmets were not provided and our tour guide was not all that informative. My partner's seat was not adjusted correctly and kept sliding. The guide barely waited for him to catch up. His partner, did not really defend us against traffic. We left the tour happy to have seen more of the city, but having learned nothing about the history of the city. We did have a new appreciation for how to navigate cars, however. Outside of their control, several other guests were not comfortable riding the busy streets of Cartagena which made for more safety issues.

Bike through busy streets - At the beginning of the tour, we bought 5 water bottles, but only received 4 and we did not realize this until later. We were not able to get a refund or the water bottle that was owed to us. You cover a lot of ground, but you go through really busy streets with lots of people. It is hard to maneuver around things and people. The tour guides were not so involved with informing us about the few stops we made. It is a great tour if all you want to do is see things. You go to 3 neighborhoods in Cartagena. I suggest if you are going to book this, book it on day 1 of your tours so you familiarize yourself with the area.
