Really nice way to discover San José with the family. - Cycling keeps the teenagers entertained while learning about the history and buildings in San José. The bite and coffee visit were also really nice.

The best way to see a new city is on a bike! - We enjoyed our tour of the city! Jorge taught us about the history of the both the city of San Jose and the country itself. The city isn't as bike-friendly as some places but he did a great job of keeping us safe. We stopped for fresh empanadas and then again for coffee. We learned about different coffee brewing processes so that was a fun add-on.

Interesting and easy bike tour - Pablo provided a fun, informative, and safe bicycle tour. The bikes were in good condition and helmets were comfortable. Interesting and beautiful plazas and important historical buildings were featured as well as delicious empanadas and ice coffee. Pablo answered our questions about the tour and gave good advice on places to visit in Costa Rica and hear live music in San Jose.

Great intro to the city - Excellent tour of the key things that give San Jose its history, food flavors, and coffee. Malo was excellent and enthusiastic about sharing info and making your trip great. Terrain is easy and can be ridden without an e-bike.

Saw a lot of San Jose. - Terrific tour in San Jose. We biked to some parks, learned some history, ate amazing empanadas and had great coffee. The bikes were in very good condition. Helmets were provided. I’m not an urban cyclist but was able to ride carefully even with the traffic. I did feel overwhelmed by the pedestrian traffic at the end of the tour and walked up the last hill. None of the hills were very steep or long. Pablo our guide was careful not to go too fast and lose me. I’ve been left behind on other tours.

Don't miss this tour! - Pablo was amazing! He was easy-going, he catered to our timing needs and he was loaded with information. He was also a perfect cycle-tour leader, keeping a great eye on us for safety. After having visited Costa Rica 3 times, we now have such a fuller understanding and impression of this beautiful country and people. Highlights were the stops for Empanatas and coffee tastings with Felipe at Moro Cafe in Barrio Escalante. We can't recommend Pablo and ChepeCletas enough! Rick, Alison and Hilary Colorado, US

Windy day bicycle tour - Laura was amazing. It's was just my buddy and I and we probably had more fun than normal tourists should AND we requested a few changes to the itinerary which Laura handled easily with alternate options. It was a lot of fun. The hills were not so bad and the weather was not so good. I do recommend the tour.
