The bike tour of Rio was an exhilarating way to see Rio. Our guide, Heloisa, was energetic and informative. You'll be able to see the various beaches and decide which ones you want to go back to in order to go swimming or take in the view. We highly recommend this tour!
Thank you so much for your review! 🌴 It’s great to hear you had such an exciting and complete experience exploring Rio by bike. We hope to see you again soon!
Excellent, I went with some insecurity because of the topic that everyone talks about robberies and so on, and the truth that nothing happened, I was 9 days, I went everywhere, by bike, by uber, walking and very nice everything.
Muchas gracias por tu reseña! 😀 Nos alegra mucho saber que tu experiencia en Río fue tan positiva y tranquila, disfrutando de la ciudad en diferentes formas de transporte. Es genial que todo haya salido bien y que te hayas sentido seguro. Esperamos recibirte nuevamente en una próxima visita! 🌟
I think 7 hours was a little long, and I think it could have been done in 5 hours. Happy with the guide and visit!

Marco took us on a great ride through the various areas as specified. We followed bike paths most of the time, it was mainly flat riding and he kept us safe. He explained the sites, answered our questions and stopped for photos. Very helpful and good fun despite being a very hot day.
🌟 Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! 🌟 We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the ride with Marco! 😊📸 🔆 We look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future! 🚀🌈👏
Interesting route and stops, very good guide on the other hand I did not always feel safe during the excursion in the urban part the route is winding with some tricky crossings and the equipment is outdated Given the proven risks of falls, the provision of a helmet, at least optional, is an absolute necessity.

Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau pour de nouveaux moments fantastiques ! 🚴♂️🌟
This was the perfect way to see the city! DO THIS TOUR EARLY IN YOUR STAY!!!!! We waited until the last days of our visit and we wish we’d have done it early on. A great exposure and overview of the city! MARCO was our guide and he was fantastic! He explained so much about the various areas and gave us restaurant suggestions in each area of the city! Schedule multiple tours in multiple areas! We did the 4 hour downtown and Botofogo tour starting in Copacabana Beach.
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! 😊 We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with Marco as your guide and that you enjoyed the tour. It's always a pleasure to provide our guests with a memorable overview of the city. We hope to welcome you back for more exciting tours in different areas soon! 🌆🏖️🌟
We always try to do bike tours when seeing g a new city. It’s the best pace to sightsee and visit multiple sights. Having a local tour guide who knows where to go and what to see is the way to go. The group is capped at 7 which makes it more intimate. It was a warm day but riding in shady areas with a breeze made it bearable. I’d pay attention to the forecast and bring water (although there are multiple apps on the way you can purchase beverages. Also don’t forget the Sun block. Riding by the many beaches of Rio was great, but pay attention to the traffic on the city streets. Plenty of bumps in the road and unpredictable traffic can ruin a day. Overall, a great way to spend 1/2 a day in Rio and get some exercise in.
Thank you for sharing your experience! 🚴♂️ We're thrilled you found our bike tour a fantastic way to explore Rio. Navigating through the city's unique streets and beaches is indeed a memorable adventure. Your tips about the forecast, water, and sunblock are spot on! 🌞🌊 We're always striving for safety and ensuring our groups enjoy the sights while staying hydrated and protected. Hope to see you on another tour soon! 🌴🚴♀️🇧🇷
We love the pace of seeing sites on a bike. Navigating on the streets of Rio can be dicey if you don’t know your way around with traffic. The city is mostly flat but roads can get bumpy. It was a great way to move around the neighborhoods and get some exercise in too. Make sure to put on sunscreen and bring some water with you.
It was a great experience, meet some new people along the way, Marco was very informative and took his time to explain the key areas of the city.
Thank you for your lovely review! 😊 We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience on our tour, meeting new people and enjoying Marco's informative guidance throughout the key areas of the city. 🚶♂️🌆 We appreciate your kind words and are grateful for the opportunity to show you around. We hope to see you again soon on another exciting adventure with us! 🚌🌟🗺️
