Ulysses was an excellent tour guide who showed us Copacabana beach and downtown Rio. He animated the activity with his personal life experience, thus making it personal. Was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend!

Loved it!

Gavin_S, Dec 2023

Really recommend this bike tour. Felt like I got under the ‘skin’ of Rio by cycling through the various parts of the city and being taken to some amazing spots and learning the history/facts our guide talked through . A little hectic at times on the busy streets, but this is a very small part of the ride. If you are a nervous cyclist or have too young/inexperienced children on bikes this is not for you. We had a 12&14 year old s and they loved it - as did we!

Great Tour of Rio

Great Way to Experience Rio

This was a great itinerary, covering beaches and downtown. Marco was our guide and he shared a lot of insights giving us a well-balanced view of life in Rio.

A fabulous tour

Get to know Rio: take a bike!

Ewa_v, Jan 2023

A wonderful tour to get acquainted with the city in a relaxed way. Plenty of opportunity to admire the bay and enjoy the well-known highlights. Experienced guide, telling interesting facts and anecdotes about this amazing city. Absolutely a must for everybody with at least basic bike-riding skills.

Rio Intro Ride

Nelson_W, May 2022

Overall a pleasant bike ride with brief stops along the way introducing some popular spots of Rio. Most of the routes were on bike lanes, but there were certain sections that were either slightly uphill or riding along with the busy city traffic. Nothing too strenuous or daunting though.

Not sure

Peter_W, Mar 2020

Really nice experience, Rio can be a busy city but our guide took us through some easy sites whilst getting some exercise around a great city.bikes are okay easy to ride it’s not that strenuous honestly.

It's a bike ride

casadebanks, Dec 2019

I wanted to write a review to help others set expectations. It's a good bike ride. I probably should have made it clear that we wanted a tour and an experience and not just a bike ride. Our group had two members that rode slow so we ended up riding as two groups where the guide and two members were about 5 min ahead and they would stop and wait. Then as soon as the last two would arrive, the guide would leave. Most guides will help find great picture spots. Needless to say, we have one picture of our family from the ~16 miles we rode together. I can find lots of explanations, but the fact remains we had a family of four with a single guide and there was only one spot by Sugar Loaf where the guide took a picture of my family. It really felt like the goal was riding the bike and not touring the city as a group with a guide that can provide insights about history, etc. So, if you want a great bike ride, either rent your own bikes or take this bike ride tour. But, if you want an experience where you get the feeling like you got to see something you couldn't see on your own, then this may not be the tour for you.

Good day out

sarcher56, Nov 2019

Bikes in Rio

Lisa C, Oct 2019

The tour was fun and our guide imparted lots of interesting information. It stared to rain near the end of the tour and the guide pulled out ponchos for those who did not have jackets

Bike Tour

Santina_T, May 2019

Excellent tour with Max. English speaking guide. Provided great history on Rio and was very pleasant. It was only two of us in the tour. 4 hours in length. He makes stops if you need them. Definitely not for the disabled or those with severe knee and back conditions. I would recommend 100%. Thank you max!!

Biking through Rio

DrWilliam_U, May 2019

This was a fantastic way to begin my Rio experiences. The tour guy was fantastic starting from the bike shop to the Copacabana/Sugar Loft Mountain to the back streets. Don't forget the wonderful drinking coconut juice.

Great bike tour!

husainbb, Mar 2019

The tour was incredible, took you all over the main tourist spots. Beautiful scenery with history and culture. Not difficult at all, pretty much flat with some up and down but the scenery is incredible. A really cool way to see Rio! A must do! Thank you Max!

Very nice tour

Hkan_G, Mar 2019

It is easy to bike in Rio, even for us older people in hot weather. Good bicycle roads and San was a nice guide.

Thank you Max

Sarah_G, Dec 2018

What a fantastic way to see a few of the sights of Rio. Max was an excellent guide and set the pace to s very manageable one. We had z flat tyrecwhich was mended very efficiently and the time it took was added to the enc of the tour. It has left us with more time to experience the culture of Rio and good advice on visiting Christ the Redeemer and Suga loaf. Strongly recommend it

Clark_R, Feb 2018

We were so pleased when Julia was guiding just the 2 of us thru some city streets which have bike lanes and bike paths for 30 km small group biking on busy city streets is mandatory in our opinion. She was very considerate and conscientious for our safety, and informative on the city's history a bit too much history for us in our opinion. You can see so much of the city on this bike tour, although Rio does get hot by mid day. Highly recommend this tour with Julia
