Great trip! - It was a crazy day, high heat and the throngs of women marching in the demonstration for International Women’s Day had taken over many streets and monuments all over town. But our guide, Iván, led us safely out and about. We saw many monuments and beautiful park areas. And it was just plain fun to be riding on bikes as a way to see some sites, rather than by bus or car. The tour included stops for a drink or fruit as well as lunch at a taco stand - generously paid for by Iván. His language skills were impressive, as was his knowledge of historical facts. He was a very capable guide, an excellent navigator of the streets and exceedingly friendly and personable. We thoroughly enjoyed the outing and would consider the others that were offered.

Wonderful tour with Alberto - We loved our morning bike tour with Alberto! He really took the time to make it a special tour for us and was excellent at pointing out road hazards to be aware of as we cycled. Most of our time was spent cycling on bike paths along Reforma and in Bosque de Chapultepec. Included lunch was a delicious torta! Alberta also provided us with recommendations to a couple of favourite taco stands. Thanks for a great day!

Professional and Family friendly Bike Tour Guides - We loved biking though some of the most emblematic parts of Mexico City: Paseo de la Reforma, Angel de la Independencia, Monumento a la Revolución, Bosque de Chapultepec, Polanco, Anthropology Museum, etc. Our guide took us to a little stand in Polanco to have torta de cochinita pibil (shredded pork sandwich) and it was great. My husband and I took the tour with my 15 month baby daughter and I'll be forever grateful to our Poray guide that biked with her because we had some balance difficulties biking with her as it was her first time on a bike. We thought we had to abort the biking plans but our guide biked with her and had all the patience of the world and at the end it worked smoothly and we all had a great time. They are professionals in what they do. My sincerest THANK YOU!

Great way to see the Park! - Alberto was a really great guide. This tour is a wonderful way to see a good bit of the giant park. We wouldn't have seen nearly as much if we were on foot. Highly recommend!

Well worth it! - This is a long tour but so worth it. Alberto is a superb guide, patient and attentive, with solid English, and a real pride in his native city. We followed him on bikes all the way down the magnificent Paseo de la Reforma, where he often pulled off to the side to point out some of the signature monuments and sketch out the fascinating history. It's such a vast and busy boulevard, but the ride was peaceful and easy, you have a cycle lane, and we found Mexican traffic to be patient and calm. Then we spent a couple of blissful hours riding through what must be the most stunning city park in the world - Chapultepec is vast, pristine and beautiful, with lakes and castles and fountains and museums. Far bigger than Central Park, it feels like its own world after a while, and despite the huge population of Mexico City, it seemed at times as though we had the place to ourselves. Alberto took us through sections 1 and 2, past the many sculptures and squares, there's just so much to it. After a juice stop we then rode back down Reforma, a little hot and tired, but eager now to see sections 3 and 4. Highly recommended!

Great guides, great tour - Incredible day in the city. My husband and I and two kids - 11 and 13 - are not city bikers, but with Timon running interference at every intersection, we felt safe on the city streets. Tour guide Gaby regaled us with her full knowledge of the city, both historic and current. The trip through Chapultepec park was especially beautiful. This was a great way to see lots of the city and learn some history too. Highly recommend for all families.

Good Bike experience - Good guide, good route, good environment. I really liked the experience. It was a way to get to know a little more about the Mexican culture and history. I learned a lot! Ivan is a very nice guide. I had the opportunity to talk to him about curiosities and he has always been gentle. Point of improvement: bikes quality, in general. I would love to have another bike experience
