- 248elliei00Couldn’t recommend more!Brilliant way to find out more about the city. I would 100% recommend to any one who’s first time it is in Bogotá. David and Omar were great!
- Artfav9822900Fun way see to a genuine slice of real BogotaOur guide Diego was knowledgeable and passionate about Colombia, it's culture, and it's history. He showed us a variety of "different" Bogota, and we got to have some fun, stopping at a local market as well as playing a crazy game involving gun powder.
- Amanda_in_Miami00Very good bike tourGreat way to spend four hours exploring different areas of Bogota. Get there early and walk around the neighborhood to appreciate the great street art. DONT BUY YOUR TICKETS THROUGH TRIPADVISOR. You will pay half price if you just pay directly at the venue. Can ffg get crowded on weekends (we were 23) but the guide handled the crowd well. It slowed things down a bit but not a bad thing - you got to I treat with more people.
- 71jaynet00Private guided bike tourThis was one of the best bike tours. Our guide Mauricio was amazing. He showed us more of the city then we would have ever seen walking or driving. My adult children had a great time. I can't say enough good about the tour. Anyone that like to ride a bike, it a definite must. Spend the bit extra and get the private guide.
- kcan200300Bike tourWe love city bike tours and this one did not disappoint. Covered a large amount of Candellaria area and the central district along with some stops in urban neighborhoods to check out some graffiti. This tour didn’t focus on some of the famous historic landmarks but that was fine given all of the other sights and experiences on this 4 hr ride.
- SVH1900Totally amazing bike tour!We absolutely loved this tour. Such a great way to see parts of the city you would otherwise not be able to access. Our tour guide, Nico, was outstanding. His passion for and knowledge of Colombian culture, history, and politics, was simply fantastic. So many activities on the tour that you don’t expect, like trying local fruits from the market and playing a crazy traditional Colombian game! We can’t recommend this tour enough. Thanks so much - it was our highlight of our trip to Bogota.
- chamarly00Highly recommended!You get a lot of informations about the city and the culture in a funny way! Sergio did a great job! Thanks! The graffiti are impressive and the bikes are in a quite good condition! The 4 hours went over very quickly....
- Leafar133700Awesome tourThe biked are in a great condition. We got a nice tour with a friendly guide informing us about interesting informations
- jameshE3534MG00A must if and when you visit BogotaWith less than 48 hours in this vibrant high altitude city this is an absolute must with bikes helmers and our guide Raphael all in the deal we set off for a four hour ride with several stops on the way taking in the sites and vibes of this classic South American city, tasting strange fruit, playing an odd game of boule throwing at a wall of mud. coffee and a coffee factory tour, the amazing Graffiti which is so much a part of this city... 12 k mainly on the flat it will suit all age groups and with Raphael’s obvious enthusiasm will remain as one of those highlights of our trip to Columbia
- sebastianw57400Highly recommendable!What we liked: - high value for money - Professional and cool Guide (Mateos) - lot of variety (art, history, food, culture)
- rok51400Fantastic!Great way to see a lot of things in the city. The guide spoke perfect English and told a lot of interesting stories related to the places we saw.
- Alicebradshaw00Balthazar was great!Had a total blast with Balthazar who was a passionate and hugely informative guide - learnt loads and had a laugh along the way. Really good experience :)
- olacfd00Great AfternoonGood info and route. Our guides were friendly and informative. The coffee shop stop was really amazing. I really liked how we saw the different sides of the city, the rich and the poor showing how diverese Colombia is in terms of people, food and nature. Highly Recommended!
- lisacH1562PZ00Bogota by BikeGreat way to see the city and learn some of its stories. It covered a variety of places, street art and street food. Eating a variety of fruits in the market, fantastic coffee, crazy ride through the streets and people, great day finishing with a game of Tejo 😃thanks Mike.
- Pfat00Mountain Bike ride at the MountainGreat sightseeing ride in Choachi near Mataredonda Park. Ask Nicolas what you need to know about cycling at 3,200m.

I recently went on a bike tour with Bogota Bike Tour and was lucky enough to have Luis as my guide. He was a true wealth of knowledge, educating us about the area and its rich history. The tour was thoughtfully designed with breaks at a local fruit stand and coffee shop, which allowed us to not only rest but also sample the delicious local produce and coffee. The bike I was given was in good working condition and I had no issues with it during the tour. Although the route was initially crowded, it became more manageable as the tour progressed. Although I wouldn't recommend it to a beginner, it was a great way to explore different neighborhoods in Bogota and see the city from a different perspective. The tour concluded creatively and memorably which left a lasting impression. The only suggestion I have is for the guide to slow down at times to allow everyone to keep up. This tour is worth checking out but remembers to bring cash for snacks, coffee, and a tip for your guide as they work hard to make the experience unforgettable.

Great way to visit the city, but also to experience its friendliness for sustainable modes of transport. Biking was easy given the combination of dedicated cycle paths, wide pavements, friendly drivers.
The guides (we experienced Mike for 10 minutes and Matteo for the rest of the day) weaved their stories in an engaging way, created comfortable afmosfere of easy going stoties about Bogota s and Bogota. Bikes significantly increased the range of things we saw in comparison to classic guided tours. We stepped beyond the touristic routes towards places created for and enjoed by regular residents. The pace was perfect, even for keen photographers as myself. Fruit tasting - yet another highlight, however personally I would like to have a recap / handout with names of fruits we tried. Similarly as it was done with the route. Matteo to conclude our trip demonstrated it on the map. Overall - great day. Please do not forget to put sunscreen on. I had red arms for many, many days....

Due to COVID, I got a private, nearly 5 hour bike tour of some of the coolest parts of the city. Mike was amazing and has friends all over the city, who let us poke around their graffiti workshops, go behind the scenes at their coffee roastery, sample (so much) fruit at the market, and try some fresh Colombian Chicha. Especially for Solo travelers who might not know how to really connect with the city, this is a perfect option. The bike ride itself is super mild, but if you are scared of the busy Colombian streets, I would not recommend, because you'll be weaving in and out of traffic (safely behind mike! but still). Overall, I can't imaging my 2 day trip to this city without this tour!

So with 2.6k reviews, and 97% 4 or 5 stars, this place isn't exactly a well-kept secret. It is an absolutely excellent way to see all the major sights of the historic Candelaria barrio as well as some parts of Centro that most travelers would otherwise be unlikely to experience. It makes an *excellent* introduction for your first day, if you will be visiting Bogota for several days.
Our guide was Mike and he was great; he kept us very engaged the entire time with an extensive knowledge of Bogota, especially it's modern history. We took a private tour and the entire 1/2 day was tailored to our interests and riding ability. Consideration of a private tour is strongly recommended, esp if you have 2 or 3 riders - with 3 the price is = to joining a group).
One of the most famous attractions in Bogota and with good reason, don't miss it.

If you find yourself on a Sunday in Bogota, I highly recommend doing a bike tour with this company. Even with streets closed, it can still be a crowded and jam-packed city and having a smart and passionate guide was just what we wanted. We zipped all over the Candelaria and downtown areas. She kept us safe in some of the busier areas as well as the slightly sketchy but colorful Santa Fe district, and we took great pitstops for a fruit tasting and to visit a coffee roaster. There was no pressure to buy anything- it was more her introducing us to local culture. We learned a lot about local graffiti, too. The bikes were good quality and when we had a gear problem with my bike - due to my fault, she took off up the hill with the bad bike to get a new one. Riding a bike around a busy city like Bogota can be a little stressful but having a guide was great. And we were able to blow up the gunpowder on the game we played at the end!

I had a great time exploring Bogota whit the tour guide Mike. We have visited a lot of stuff which I probably never would have found on my own. Mike was a great tour guide and knows a lot about the city and it's history, so I can just recommend the tour to everybody who is coming to Bogota.

Rather than focusing on major tourist sites we wanted to see modern art, graffitis and the real Bogota. We therefore booked a private toor with Mike, the owner, who was very knowledgable and friendly.
We saw plenty of street art, but Mike also took us to the main fruit and vegetable market (highly recommended) where we tasted some delicious fruit, a great coffee shop and a place which makes superb chocolate. We also passed the main square, the Botero museum and the oldest part of town. The tour lasted 3-4 hours and it gave us a wonderful feel for the city. Highly recommended

Mike was an amazing tour guide! He taught us everything about the city and showed us everything Bogotá has to offer!!! We paid 45,000 Colombian pesos which is about $12USD or £8GBP and you get the bike and helmet Included. We started the tour at 10:30am and finished at 14:30pm. So we had the rest of the day to plan other activities.
Me and my girlfriend were only in Bogotá for 3 days and we were pushing it for time in terms of seeing everything as Bogotá is a huge place. However, with Mike we got to experience so much and felt like we had completed the city! We went through places we’d never of thought about going in!
If your in Bogotá I honestly recommend this experience as you get to see all aspects of Bogotá and you’ll learn so much! It’s such a fun day out. I’m 21 years old and I’m so glad I was able to experience this and our tour guide Mike made the whole experience even better!
If you are in Bogotá then this is the first thing you should do! You’ll get a real feel for the city and understand what there is to do!
