When I compare this tour to tours I have taken in other cities, this tour was a bit disappointing. There was little real information about the city or buildings; you really had to ask.

Nice tour and nice company. The bikes are a bit outdated and have no gears. Otherwise, Rio is a great city.

Excellent bike tour. Our amazing guide was fluent in Dutch, English, Spanish and Portuguese. We had a wonderful morning.

The Rio City Tour per bike was really great, but unfortunately the bikes were rubbish. Otherwise we would have rated it 5 stars …

It was an incredibly fun, enjoyable, educational, relaxing, and humorous day. *** showed us a beautiful part of Buenos Aires, with all the information, history, etc., about the neighborhoods and buildings. The atmosphere was great, and without this tour, we would never have been able to get such a wonderful view of Buenos Aires.

As always with Baja Bikes, we had a great experience and a fun bike tour. Guide *** was top-notch! However, the tour through Rio just isn't all that spectacular – not many sites or special things/stories along the route. And the equipment was a bit old.

A nice way to get to know this city, which is new to us. We saw some nice spots thanks to ***'s explanation.

Highly recommended! You get to know the city of Rio in a wonderfully relaxed way. Guide *** shares his insider experiences in his own unique style, and we still aren't entirely sure how he did it, but he conjured the Christ the Redeemer statue from the clouds for our group. Truly unforgettable!!
