Lovely Day in Montevideo (Feb/20)
We thoroughly enjoyed our day of cycling in Montevideo! Our guide was very knowledgeable, courteous and helpful. The bikes, helmets and reflective vests were in great condition...it helped that the weather was cooperating! There is a small bar, next door to the bike rental drop-off, serving local beers. Nice touch.
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a smaller, more intimate experience.

Good biking experience
This tour provides a good way to see Montevideo. The tour operator is a little flexible, and adjusts the tour to meet the interests of the guests. Much of the tour is along a long straightaway, which is good for biking, and you stop to view some amazing murals by the stadium, which really make the trip worth taking. The guide provided a lot of history about Montevideo at stops along the ride, which can be a positive or negative, depending on how much you are interested in learning the history of places you visit. They provide safety vests, but no biking helmets.

Fantastic tour with Josefina
We had a great bike tour around Montevideo with Josefina. Unfortunately, our cruise ship arrived late but she was still there waiting for us. The tour ensured we visited the main highlights of Montevideo. Helmet, safety vests, water and bikes supplied.

The way to see Motevideo
A great way to see the old city, although we were sharing narrow streets with vehicles, but our guide led us adeptly through the traffic. That was followed by a long tour of the sea walk which was most enjoyable and very safe for cyclists. Our guide was excellent and provided a comprehensive history of Uruguay.

Great way to combine some exercise with sightseein
Only item was some confusion about the meeting point, as it wasn't clear where the outside of the port area in Montevideo was. But guide was great, very knowledgable about a wide range of topics. Cycling was a bit challenging against the wind at time, but lots of chances to stop and look at things along the way.
