Awesome bike tour trough a less touristy area of Medellin. Wonderful ride to a viewpoint and then through the city with some stops, where the guide explained lots of historical things. Yan was the perfect guide: enthusiastic, competent and funny! The only negative thing was maybe the size of the group (15 + 2 guides). 10/10 would recommend!

Valentina and Jose were AMAZING!!! Valentina was very knowledgeable, very patient and accommodating with the group. Her smile was everything! Jose kept us very safe and made sure we were all taken care of crossing the busy streets! One suggestion would be to put lights on the bikes and bell rings!

It’s really great to explore the city by bike - you see so much more than if you just follow the known tracks of your travel guide.

Very recommendable bike tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide Andres! We had a great time!

Good with some climbing. If not a cyclist get an ebike.
