Exactly as described - We had a great day. Luigi is a great guide. The bikes are OK not great but perfect for the day’s ride. We enjoyed biking the streets of Tulum as much as the sites themselves…the streets are busy so not everyone would enjoy biking on them, but we did. I enjoyed the ruins more than I thought I would…a beautiful view and Luigi made it more “alive” than just looking at ruins…he gave a good sense of the history and culture of the Mayan people.

Amazing, authentic experience - Our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed experiencing Tulum in a more authentic way, with the guidance of an experienced local. This bike tour is not for those that are uncomfortable on a bike in a city. We were fine, but the couple with us had a lot of trouble navigating the busy streets on their bikes so I wouldn’t recommend this tour to those that aren’t 100% comfortable on a bike. Otherwise, it’s an amazing experience and I highly recommend!!

Great guide and interesting bike tour - Went on the bike tour this morning. Great guide and interesting experience. Some folks used regular bikes and we used the e-bikes. Visited the Tulum ruins and archaeological park as part of the tour. We finished with the ‘breakfast’ stop around 10:45 (good selection of tacos) and the tour continued to the cenote w/o us. The e-bikes took some getting used to, and we clearly did not master them. Both my wife and I took spills. The guide was wonderful after my wife’s more serious spill - she actually fell to the ground after running off the side of the bike path. She was not hurt but the guide insisted on making sure before continuing. He had the group rest for a few minutes while he had my wife drink some water and calm down. Excellent guiding on his part. He was also very good at explaining the history and background at the Tulum ruins. Don’t be scared off because of our biking clumsiness. If you are used to biking and have better balance then us, take the tour. If I did this over again I think I would opt for a regular bike. The area is flat and it is more important to feel in better control of the bike - especially with cars, pedestrians and other bikes around - than it is to save yourself some energy and not peddle.

Had an amazing time! - Since no one else booked the tour the same day, it was like a private tour for us 2. We booked this tour but the half day without the cenote or the bee keeper visit.
Alondra was our tour guide and she is the best! She was informative and it felt like touring with a friend than a guide. She knew all the best photo spots and took many amazing photos of us.
Riding a bike around was fun and easy in Tulum. This was an amazing tour and created memories that I will never forget!

Amazing tour of Tulum - What an amazing day. Our tour guide Niko was incredibly friendly and informative. The tour around the ruins was very insightful, Niko did a great job illustrating how the ancient city used and what it would have been like to live there. The next stop at the Casa Don Diego Tulum to visit the native bees and sample the different honeys was probably my favorite part of the day. After a refreshing dip in a cenote and delicious tacos for lunch, we were ready for a relaxing afternoon!

Ideal for adults / experienced cyclists - Great tour for adults. We had a group of 15 people on the tour and it ran about 7 hours total. Overall distance covered was approx. 15 miles between the biking and walking (mostly biking), so I’d only recommend this for those that are prepared for this level of physical activity. It is also only ideal for those who are very comfortable on a bike since you travel on busy city streets, country roads, and some areas with just gravel (slippery, difficult terrain on a road bike). I wouldn’t recommend this tour for kids or young teens. You spend a significant portion biking through the city and it is not in fancy tourist areas. You’re in the real parts of the city where people live, as well as country backroads. You eat at a legitimate taco restaurant in the inner city, not a tourist spot. It would be called “a hole in the wall” in the US, so just know what you’re getting in to. This is not a tour for those that are uncomfortable experiencing the real Tulum or those looking for a luxury, pampered excursion. The guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. There is also a co-guide that assists with crossing busy roads and keeping the group together.

Classic Tulum Bike Tour - This was a great bike tour led by a wonderful tour guide! Perfectly planned so that the trip would end at a refreshing cenote to relax in! It was so much fun!

Great way to see Tulum Ruins - This is a wonderful way to see the Tulum ruins and spend the day. The bike riding is a great way to tour, so nice to not be stuck I am van or car all day. Our guide Ursula was wonderful , she was very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. We really enjoyed being able to visit the ruins with her and have the information about what we were seeing. She made the day. The taco lunch and bee hive visit feels so special and we enjoyed that and the dip in cenote is perfect way to end the tour. Really great day.
