I was provided an English speaking guide, Alex. We explored zones 1 and 2 of Chapultepec Park by bike. Alex was knowledgeable of the history and gave great recommendations on what else to see in the park and the surrounding area. The bike ride was easily manageable with bare minimum fitness. Highly recommend.

The bicycles were broken and very hard to pedal. The tour operator never texted us the day before like all the other tours do. As a result we didn’t have communications to meet up at the right place. It was frustrating. The tour guide did a nice job, and it was good to be in the park early. One last thing. The first stop on the tour after we got started was on an overpass over a big highway with very loud cars and lots of fumes. They should skip this stop. We just wanted to get in the park for peace and quiet and clean air while the guide told us about when they built the highway. Who cares?
Dear George_I, We're sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your tour with us. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to improve our services. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the bicycles and the lack of communication from our end. We will address these concerns with our team to ensure they are not repeated in the future. Regarding the first stop, we appreciate your suggestion and will review the route to provide a more enjoyable experience for our guests. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience. Kind regards from the entire quality team at Amigo Tours, Chelsea
Bosque de Chapultepec is massive; the bike tour was the perfect way to see more of it and learn more than we would have on our own. The information on this tour helped us decide what parts of the park to visit by ourselves in the afternoon. It was a very peaceful morning biking through the quiet and shady park, stopping here and there to learn about the sights and history of the park. I recommend starting a Chapultepec day with this tour and then planning to stick around to see more of it. We also planned this for near the end of our trip so we wouldn't have any issues with the altitude, but the biking is chill and not intense - I think we would have been fine from day one.
Dear 554kath, Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the bike tour of Bosque de Chapultepec and found it to be the perfect way to explore the park.
