Lima Bike Coastal Bike Tour - This is a great trip for individual adults or families with teens (not pre teens). Our guide Paula was excellent. You would think Lima is not a great cycling city but recent efforts have made this ride very friendly with designated bike paths hugging bluffs along the coast are very safe. The Baranco neighborhood is filled with graffiti/street art that I just loved. The coast is gorgeous, and we stopped for ice cream. I recommend the Sunday ride if possible but not required as the city closes a major road between the city center and Miraflores for only bike riders.

Fun biking along the coast - Tito was our guide and we got to see so much of the coastline views on this tour. Tito pointed out various art along the way, made enough stops to not feel to strenuous and point out sites with background information and helped us navigate some of the busier crossings safely. The protected bike lanes are a wonderful addition to the city that make it stress free to ride around. The hill at the end is was definitely tough but worth the view. The bikes we got were very comfortable and easy to ride. This tour is a really great way to cover some ground along the coast of Lima and get to know the coastal districts better.

Great bile tour of Lima - A fun way to see some of Lima that I likely wouldn’t have otherwise. Tito was a great guide and kept us safe. One piece of advice - wear sunscreen, even if it’s overcast!

Bike heaven - A wonderful tour with the back up of a van . One of the the party was not confident of the down hill section , so the van was able to pick her up and then when we were on the flat resume her ride . Great commentary by guide and he took us through some interesting area . In the narrow busy sections the van was always behind us shielding the riders from the cars

Great tour to discover the city - The guide and his support staff were very knowledgeable and showed us parts of the city from a very interesting perspective. Safety is key to them and you can see and feel it in the induction and during the ride. It is not suitable for beginners that don't know how to ride a bike very well. Other than that the tour is a great option for anyone that wants to discover the city from a low-paced perspective.

Great way to spend 1/2 day - Thanks for a great morning!! Guide Raoul (Rod), and our driver, were friendly and made sure we were looked after. Most of the bike trip is down hill - some up hill but worth it. Guide had lots of information, and passion, for his home town. Great way to start our Peruvian adventure. Would definitely recommend if confident on a bike and enjoy an adventure.

Bike rid in Lima - A great trip and fantastic way to see a lot of Lima. Tito and Rudolfo were great guides. Had a lot of fun and would recommend thoroughly. Not strenuous at all. Only concern was the short ride through the unlit two lane tunnel without lights on the bike. Scary stuff with vehicles thundering past. Easily solved by outfitting low cost high intensity lights on the bike

Not a private cycling experience - misleading. - Sadly this was very disappointing, as much as I love to support local businesses. We booked and paid for a Private Coast Cycling Experience to start at 9am, instead we got 6 people on our tour leaving around 10am (no apology, no explanation, no refund). We do private cycling tours all over the world: that way the guides can customise the ride according to our fitness and enjoyment level (always been successful). Today was not enjoyable and it was clear the guide just wanted to get this tour over and done with. Feel a bit ripped off, plus the fact that I felt embarrassed lagging behind (reason a nearly 60 year old lady booked a private tour and not to race with lovely 30-year olds - felt guilty keeping them up). If you want cheap group tours then yes it’s for you (nothing wrong with it, I was there too once). However if you want a private cycling tour look elsewhere.
