This tour was absolutely amazing! Our guide was well informed and fun! The Views you will get of the city and coast are spectacular. You don't need to be athletic to do this tour. I highly recommend doing this tour.

The tour was very nice. My wife and I who are not experienced cyclists enjoyed the tour and Tito's commentary on the sights and history of Lima. We had a very small group which was very nice as well, as we could customized the tour and stop and take photos when necessary. The tour was a great way to experience Lima.

Thanks to Tito who made this bike tour exceed beyond my expectations! I did this tour on a monday morning and I was the only one that booked that day and Tito the owner of Urban Bike Adventures really made me feel comfortable biking through Lima. The tour itself starts on top of a arid desert mountain car picks you up and you start downhill! A bit of mountain bike terrain in the beginning with breathtaking views of the beach and pacific ocean. Then once you get down from that area - Tito took me through the Barrancos district while explaining history of the areas we were in and Peru history overall. Finishing the tour along a beautiful bike ride along the coast by Miraflores and there are great and safe bike trails. Bike tour was about 3.30 hours long with a couple of water and snack breaks which were much needed Lima's summer heat. Truly a unique way to see a new part of Lima.

Great way to see Lima and get some exercise. Great guide and gorgeous ride. We prepared to sweat but worth it!
Review by: Todd D, June 2016
We had a great time. There could have been a little more variety of bike sizes as well as helmet sizes. And definitely a bottle of cold water for each person to start with, then we could have bought additional at our snack stop if needed. Really liked the route we took and the distance. It was a fun way to see parts of the city.
Review by: juliegilmore7, June 2016
Very fun and interesting. Tito lead a great tour. I would say that you should be fairly in shape and confident on a bike, as there are a few bigger hills, but they were manageable and Tito was very patient. Great way to see a lot of Lima.
Review by: Lisa W, June 2016
Fantastic short tour, mostly downhill riding, so easy for almost anyone. Our guide, Tito, was very well-informed about the history and cultural of Lima. He was also very careful and attentive with each client member of the group. Highly recommend this if you want to fill a half-day in Lima.

Great way to get know parts of Lima!
Review by: john G, March 2016
A great trip and a great leader. Very well run and entertaining. Tito was flexible with the pace of the ride. He also grew up in Lima and knew many interesting things about the city. Personally I would have enjoyed a slightly longer bike route. For most it probably was enough riding in the heat.

An excellent tour, great choice of routes, nice guide. Unfortunately, the tour did not drop us back at our hotel on conclusion: in fact we biked several km past our hotel and were then left to walk back. We showed some surprise and were told it was in the tour description. The walk back was enjoyable, great weather, but should not have come as a surprise.

Excellent way to see the city.
Review by: Rodolfo G, October 2015
Impressive sightseeing and always keeping safety first. The tour guide was great. It could be improved by showing the tour's itinerary in advance.
Review by: Angie, October 2015
Great way to spend a day. Beware, there are a couple of hills to begin with which I got off and walked,because I am not as fit as I could be!, but other than that it is a relatively easy ride. Plenty to see. We started off at the big Jesus statue on the hillside overlooking Miraflores and came down from there via the coast. The bikes are well maintained and you do get helmets and a hi viz to wear. Big thanks to Ytalo for making this a really interesting and fun ride.
Review by: Anjela E, August 2015
It was a great ride and an exciting descent from the mountain to the Pacific coast like. Our guide was terrific and very aware of the group's needs and comfort levels. We got to see a great deal of Lima and we had a terrific time!

Review by: Howard Beaumont B, June 2015
The bike tour was excellent. The bikes and safety equipment were good quality. The pace of the tour was just right for us, and we felt very safe on the roads as the second guide followed at a safe distance in a car to warn other traffic.

Not all downhill ;-)_br/_
A little nerveracking trying to bike over the bridge in Miraflores. Ended up pulling the bike out the oncoming cars and walked it across the bridge. Enjoyed our guide and found him to be very knowledgeable regarding many aspects of what we saw during our bike tour.
Review by: Holly B, July 2014
I really enjoyed this bike tour of Lima, although I would classify the bike ride as moderately difficult (not as easy/beginner) and it is not truly along the Pacific Ocean. Our tour guide Giorgio was excellent. We started on the dirt hill near the neon cross in Municipalidad de Chorrillos--this was the trickiest part, biking thru dirt and rocks and then down hill near the pueblos jovenes and even saw a local boat-maker's boats. Then the tour made it's way along the main road (along the cable car track) thru the Barranco area of Lima--I would have enjoyed spending more time here while in Lima. Finally making our way back to Miraflores near Larcomar and ending in the Parque de Amor. Very scenic and very informational--recommended to other travelers in our tour group and recommend for travelers headed to Lima
Review by: jackie, July 2014
I was really glad i did this tour. It was hard though! There were hills, and we had to ride on roads. We biked almost 10 miles. I was pooped. Our tour guide giorgio was really good. He seemed to really be into cycling, so i am thinking he made it more difficult. My legs were like rubber afterwards. _br/_
We biked from the plastic jesus, through chorrillos, barranco, and miraflores. I had a lot of fun. In recommend doing a bike tour whenever to travel to a new place.
Review by: wanda, June 2014
Awesome way to see different parts of Lima. Challenging yet fun! Great guide.
Review by: Concepcion V, April 2014
The tour is a must do if u r the active type during ur vacations. We saw another face of the City with this tour. Tito our tour guide was awsome! He goes above and beyond to cover ur needs. Would do it again if we go back!
Review by: Diana M, April 2014
Very fun bike ride. It was a great way to see a lot of parts of lima! We were a little scared at first on the bikes, but it got a lot easier! Would do this again if back in lima!
Review by: Gerard S, March 2014

Giorgio drove us to the high point to start the tour and pick us in barranco and bring us back to our hotel and our guide that I'm sorry can't remember his name but also he was great ! they were very nice guys. they were on time , very helpful, and really gave us a great time on the tour telling about the history of were we were riding, stoping for views and helping with pictures. also broght us to a beautiful store in barranco ...really precious and unique gift store._br/_
anyway you must do this tour!!! it was my husband first time in lima and he really enjoy this tour. thank you guys.
Review by: Roberto B, March 2014
O tour foi ótimo! O trajeto, apesar de longo, é leve. Além do passeio de bicicleta em si, aprendemos muito sobre a cidade. Nós estávamos com fome, e o nosso guia nos indicou uma feirinha com comidas típicas. Muitas fotos boas. O único problema foi que nós esquecemos de passar protetor solar nos braços, e ficamos queimados... culpa nossa!
Review by: Stuart, December 2013
A great way to see parts of Lima that you would never see on a normal tour. Tito was a fantastic guide and kept us safe and was very knowledgeable. Nothing was to much trouble and we would highly recommend this particular tour which is suitable for all age groups
Review by: Luisa R, December 2013
This is a Must when visiting Lima! A great way to experience the city, the sights and sounds. I'm not the fittest person in the world so I was a little hesitant about this bike ride. But it was absolutely no problem! Downhill and flat along the coastline, a breeze. Best trip in Lima!
Review by: Lynda P, December 2013
Wonderful bike adventure with an experienced, enthusiastic, friendly guide. Saw many _br/_
sites and neighborhoods in Miraflores and Barranco. The bikes were in great condition and we felt safe and well cared for. It was just two of us on a private tour. Would definitely recommend it but not for inexperienced bikers or those faint of heart.
Review by: Randall T, August 2013
Good tour and nice views. Not complicated but get ready to use some leg muscles.
Review by: Kirk G, July 2013
I will start by saying we loved it. The guide was there on time and wisked us off to the start point. The mountain bikes were in good shape. The guide explained the local history and signifigance of various monuments and statues as we descended into Lima. The ride along the park overlooking the ocean was great. There was only my wife and myself in our group. He was very accommodating for stopping and viewing various sights. We thought he did a fantastic job. Thanks!!!
Review by: Windy, June 2013
This trip was one of the highlights of our trip to South America. The guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area and shared great stories and history._br/_
We would do this tour again and recommend it to anyone!
Review by: Charlotte W, March 2013
So good I did it twice! Really amazing way to see the city, feel great being on a bike but it is all very easy... was reassured constantly despite my initial nerves. Highly recommended!
Review by: Matthew L, November 2012
Was a great day! Giorgio was fantastic and knowledgeable. Having only been on a bike a handful of times, when we drove to the top of a hill and were told we would be biking down, I was a bit anxious but was able to set own pace and throughly enjoyed it.
Review by: Lauren O, November 2012
I had a great time on this tour of Lima - it was a really nice way to see the city from different angles and perspectives. I enjoyed the history and wish we had gotten a little bit deeper insight into the current-day politics and socio-economics of the country and encourage the tour guide to incorporate more. Definitely do this tour if you're limited on time and/or want to see as much of the city as possible!
Review by: Emily T, September 2012
This tour was fantastic! Giorgio was so funny and his english perfect! We were only in Lima for two days and this was a wonderful way to learn about the city in such a short timeframe. My comfort level on a bike is not completely 100%, but I felt safe and encouraged at every stage. I definitely recommend this tour to people, especially if you want to be able to see a lot in a half-day and be home in time for Pisco Sours and a relaxed dinner in Kennedy Park!
Review by: Rose Ann R, August 2012
I would recommend the bike tour along the coast. The tour guide we had was Giorgio who was very helpful and knowledgeable about the historical spots we stopped at. It was an easy ride so anyone with basic skills would feel comfortable. It was a nice way to see sights in Lima. I enjoyed this tour.
Review by: Scott B, March 2012
This was a fantastic way to see the city. Our guide was excellent and very helpful and informative. I would highly recommend this trip.
