Wonderful tour of Quito! - We loved this tour so much. Catalina got us set up same-day for a fantastic afternoon of cycling around Quito. Freddy and Paul are excellent guides: knowledgeable, kind, fun and funny. We really felt we were able to make the most of our short stay in Quito thanks to them. The bike riding was safe and very enjoyable. Freddy and Paul rode ahead and behind us, and kind of corralled us through turns and intersections when appropriate. We especially loved the snack and fruit stops at the market. We had to cut the chocolate tour short because we learned that our lost bag would be at the airport and we had to go pick it up. Freddy and Paul then helped us secure a taxi and secured a nice price for taking us, waiting and bringing us back. We are so happy we chose this tour.

Catalina makes Quito easy. - Catalina was amazing. Starting with the pickup from the airport, we spent 3 days with her going to hot springs, Cotopaxi, and an urban bike tour. She was full of helpful advice, very flexible with our 8 person group, and kept in constant communication with us regarding timing and options.

Great day exploring Quito and the Equator! - David was an amazing tour guide. Attentive, knowledgeable and constantly making sure we were safe and having fun. Paul was just as amazing bringing up the rear of our bike line and always making sure we were safe. Our drive was also great! I can’t recommend this day tour enough. It was fantastic! Thanks for a fabulous day!

Fabulous Tour! - We did the cultural bike tour with just 4 of us and 2 guides and the day was fantastic. Jonathon was a wealth of knowledge about Quito and Ecuador, and it was clear that he enjoyed sharing his country and culture with us. Danny was our second guide and he helped us navigate traffic and intersections, making sure we had a safe experience. We had a wonderful time at the local market, where we sampled delicious juices and local fruits. We ended the day at a chocolate tasting and enjoyed the view from the top deck as well as the fantastic chocolate options. We have done many bike sightseeing tours and this one was a cut above the others. I highly recommend Quito Bike Tours for a great way to experience the city!

Great way to see parts of Quito - We had a family, two teenage girls. We had wonderful weather on this day, which helps. Tour guides (Jonathan and Daniel). Very very good. Knowledgeable, safe, friendly. The tour lay out was perfect for us, but I would encourage you to let them know your interests. I would encourage you to be physically fit or ask to not do the areas with steeper hills. We did the hills and enjoyed, but challenging in a few points. They use nice bikes and safety equipment. I felt very safe. Thank you both for a wonderful tour!

The best way to experience Quito - What an excellent experience. Our 2 guides were happy to share all their knowledge and so flexible that our intended 4-hour tour lasted 8-hours. They take you safely through all of Quito’s highlights. Just buy them lunch & coffee

a very special bike tour through Quito - We had 2 guides for our own safety. One was at the very front and gave the direction, the other at the end paid attention and sometimes closed off the road with his bike at intersections so we could cross unhindered. While we received very extensive information about the main sights, the second guide was watching on our bikes. So we could go unhindered to basilicas, museums, markets, etc. Our guide explained us with many interesting stories country and people. He has a great knowledge of the history of the country and could answer any question we had. With a lot of heart and brain he gave us a sense of people and their traditions. The bike ride through Quito was very nice, informative and an experience. We will not forget this day.

Catalina is more than an organizer, she's a guardian angel... - We wanted to take a simple bike ride to Quito, and Catalina prepared us an entire tailor-made trip. Without asking anything in exchange, she picked us up at the airport, gave us the benefit of her 20 years of experience in tourism in Ecuador and all in a way adapted to our situation: a couple with a 7-year-old child. Everything she could offer us was 100% sure in terms of safety and quality. She always left us the choice to take the excursions she offered us, or to do by ourselves with good advice. The bike tour: Transfer from the hotel to the starting point by minibus. We had not one but four people to supervise us. From the north of the city to the historic center, for almost 30 km, we passed through parks, had valuable comments, ate a typical delicious meal, tasted chocolate, visited a church with a friendly Francophone guide. Although it was a bit much the day after a long plane trip, we understood the physiognomy of this city. Maybe the bike ride wasn't really suitable for a 7-year-old girl, or maybe the stops didn't take her into account enough. In any case, they made a lot of effort to make her comfortable, until changing her bike by an electric with child seat along the way. Return to the hotel at the end by private minibus. The next day, visit Mindo, and leave the same evening for the Amazon by night bus, no time wasted! For the other excursions, we had a Francophone guide (Paul) who accompanied us with his comfortable vehicle. Always extremely respectful of barrier gestures (we are in Covid-19 pandemic). Paul taught us so much about Ecuador, its mountains, its communities, its animals, I can't thank him enough! Catalina is more than an organizer, she was a guardian angel that I could contact 7/7 and 24 hours a day for her advice that have always proved valuable. Our stay was supposed to last 21 days, we extended it for another 20 days!
