      Great tour
      Great tour. Riding was mostly flat so made for an enjoyable morning seeing Rio. Took in lots of the sights and the guide was very informative and accommodating.

      Good luck finding this tour company. What a rip off!
      Beware of the misinformation shared when you book this tour. The name of the tour and the attached Google Map leads you to an address (outside an electrical shop) that is NOT the address where the tour starts (also outside an electrical shop). The tour starts a few blocks away, in a tucked away alley of a group of small shops which is difficult to find. If you arrive late, (we were 10 minutes late) there is no one around to assist you or help you catch up with the group. There was zero communication from the tour operator before our tour, and no one answered the What's App number we contacted as we were scrambling to find them. They left without us. Terrible experience. We were definitely ripped off.

      Excellent guide
      This was a terrific overview of the city. Be aware that the bike lanes in Rio are not that wide. There were plenty of stops and a nice rest at Flamingo beach. Loved it!

      Worth doing but have done better bike tours
      Not the easiest city for cycling but still a great way to cover some ground and get the lay of the land without only being stuck at the most touristy areas. Wish our guide had been a bit more attentive and not spent almost the whole time talking with just one participant. Also no water was provided on a very hot day (never had that before on a bike tour) and no thought of a bathroom stop.

      Rio Bike - 3 Hour Bike Trip Recommended
      A bit tricky finding their home base, but since they were taking the bikes outside I could spot them easier. The 3 hour bike tour had a nice pace to it. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Remember a hat, the sun is brutal in some parts. Would have been nice to have my own pannier for my bike but the guide was kind enough to carrier my pack for us. Big thank you for that. Very fun, highly recommended.

      Fun to visit Rio by bike
      We did the panoramic tour as a first sight seeing of Rio. Wim was our guide and he did a perfect job. We did the highlights in south of rio, but visiting these by bike makes the difference. Knowledgeable guide.

      Great way to see Rio
      Our guide, Doug, was amazing. Full of information and really funny and quirky. Brought Rio to life for us. It was an amazing tour with wonderful views of Rio. A great way to get round the city and the tour wasn't too taxing. Would definitely recommend.

      Great, if a little taxing
      A fun alternative way to explore the lovely city of Rio. Our guide Ulyses was great, friendly and helpful. He chose a great route to see many sights. Only downside, the bikes are a bit old, with no gears so after about4 hrs, you feel it. A bit of hard work! Still enjoyed it.

      Ulysses made a top guide in this wonderful city
      We have done a LOT of city bike rides, all over the world. So we know when it’s good and this was definitely great. We were late (useless Uber driver) but our guide was totally chilled and couldn’t have been more accommodating. He managed to get the balance right with the amount of information, plenty of rest stops, plenty of drinks and he certainly knew the city well. Plus a great sense of humour and lots of tips of places to go and restaurants. Thank you, Ulysses!

      Gratis tour, gratis guide
      We (almost 69 and 74 yearÂłs) drove about 35 km in the 7- hours tour, so that was easy. Marco told a lot about live in Brasil and especially in Rio. All the things written in other reviews below are true. The owner and Marco, our guide, are relaxed people full of trust. We had a tasty lunch too. And there were no other tourists with us, but that was no problem for Riobikes. Thanks Marco for this wonderfull day!

      Better than any walking tour
      Philip was a great guide, it was a wonderful time exploring the city by bike. Better than a walking tour in my opinion, because it's easier to cover more ground in the same time. Highly recommend!

      A great way to explore Rio!
      The Rio by bike is a great tour for anyone wanting to explore Rio. Our guide was really informative and the route is almost all on bike lanes so is accessible to all levels. It was raining when we arrived in the morning for our tour but Jan was very accommodating and let us join the afternoon group and gave us some suggestions of places to eat and see to fill our time. A really nice team and definitely worth booking!

      A different way to tour Rio De Janeiro
      We were promptly received outside the Rio Othon hotel, Copacabana meeting point by Jan with whom I organised the tour a week prior and Marco who took us on the tour on the actual day. The bike tour is really informative, professionally structured and well executed. Marco has a wealth of knowledge about Brazil’s history as well as the various points we stop at and ensures you are given all of the details. We most certainly enjoyed the overall tour and went away with plenty of knowledge about Rio and Brazil. The tour we selected was the 4hour panoramic one which lasts the entire time period from start to finish. The actual bike ride although lengthy it may be, about 28kilometres round trip, the gentle pace is relaxing and enjoyable indeed. A must tour for everyone who visits Rio.

    Excellent bike ride along the coast of Rio de Janeiro to the center, Lapa, Gloria, Botafogo and the edge of the lagoon. The guide Ulisses was attentive and maintained a smooth and calm pace. Perhaps the part to improve is the route through Botafogo/ Humaitá to the lagoon where there is no bike path and the traffic is more intense and nervous. The experience is well worth it for anyone who wants to get to know Rio more closely!

    The best way to see Rio de Janeiro in one day! Our guide took us to highlights like the beaches and the famous steps but also to the homebases of the big Rio football teams, an impressive old cemetery and good places to eat and have cafezinho. We recommend this tour to everybody, who likes to feel part of this big and beautiful city, cycling along the bike lanes and through the smaller streets.

    Wonderful Bike Tour of Rio

    We love to take bike tours of the major cities we visit throughout the world. Marco was our guide for an excellent tour of Rio. We biked from 9 AM – 4 PM throughout the entire city and were able to see many of the main attractions (Sugerloaf, beaches, harbors, Christ the Redeemer, Cemetery, downtown buildings, etc.) from different vantage points. Marco was a very personable and really helped us learn about the city that he knows and loves. Great tour! Highly recommend!

    We did the Ultimate Bike Tour, it was a fantastic way to cover Rio. The bike's were so comfortable and the riding was very relaxed, I was surprised how much of Rio offers bike lanes away from traffic. I recommend doing this tour early in your trip.

    Our guide was fantastic and also had us laughing lots.

    Our tour was the Ultimate Rio Full Day. An adventure it was. Marco our guide was great. The food was delicious!
    If you don’t have much time in Rio then this is the tour for you. You get to see the whole city & scope out where you would next like to go & visit next.

    Philip led our tour of two around the city for 8 hours (we ran over time)! He was an awesome tour guide, we had a really good time and learned a lot about Rio. I highly recommend this company. The route was comfortable and flat. Perfect way to see most of the city in a safe, fun way!

    This is such a great way to see Rio, and much more interesting and comfortable (in my eyes) than trudging around on foot in the heat. Our guide, Matt, spoke perfect English and was really thoughtful and friendly - keeping an eye on us at junctions and crossings, and ensuring we had stops along the way. If you're ok to ride a bike then you should be fine with the pace - the amount of cycle lanes are a pleasant surprise and it's a pretty flat route. Bikes are very good and comfy, and helmets are optional. My parents are in their 60s and were completely fine and found this to be a highlight of their trip. An interesting and healthy 3 hours!

    Two of us did the full day tour with Ulysses. Bikes were fine - single speed and not for the Tour de France but good for riding around Rio for a a few hours. Most of the route was on cycle track and very flat. The route was interesting and Ulysses was fun and informative.
