A fantastic, unforgettable bike tour!
This bike tour was truly fantastic! I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was challenging, fun and a little scary (a healthy fear…), considering it was my first time biking on this kind of terrain. It’s an experience I’ll never forget. Even though we didn’t have the best weather, we still got to see some beautiful views. Santos and Victor were totally awesome guides. They were thorough when it came to explanations on how to ride the bikes, what to do and what not to do, serious about following the safety precautions, knowledgeable, fun, and super friendly. Juan-Carlos, the bus driver was excellent, very careful and considerate of his passengers. I definitely recommend this trip!

Our trip with Vértigo Biking was amazing. Our guides Santos and Santos spent a lot of time making sure we had the best experience and took time to explain everything and make sure our experience was both fun and safe. Definitely one of the best tours I have been on.

Victor is the best!!
What an incredible experience! If you love biking of any kind this tour is a must do ! Vertigo’s bikes and equipment was safe and solid. And Victor the tour guide is hands down the best tour guide we have ever had for anything. He is caring, skilled, insightful and just a great person all round.
