Great way to get a start in Santiago - We did this on the first morning we were in Santiago. It was close to our Hotel (Luciano K - also highly recommended) and we did a morning tour. The bikes were easy to ride and good for the various areas we went to. Riding is mostly on bike paths but some riding on roads which was fine - if you can ride a bike you can do this easily. The most interesting part was the markets themselves. These are fascinating and massive - easily the largest I have seen anywhere in the world by a big margin. The aroma’s, variety and food we had was great. Our guide spoke 4 languages and visits the markets weekly, so she was very knowledgeable and prepared. She also gave us good tips on what else to do. The tour starts and ends near the entrance to the Fenicula going up nearby San Cristobal, which is a great thing to do right after the bike tour. Lots of things to see and highly recommended.

Don't miss this trip - I did the Sunday morning ride with Rey and it was one of the highlights of my few days in Santiago. What a buzz, riding down the main streets of Santiago that are closed to cars on Sundays, and then followed by the excitement of the central markets that is absolutely something to be seen. Great professional company with safety always coming first.

Local markets and unknown places - Light drizzle did not stop us to start a fantastic bike tour on Sunday morning. Tamy was an excellent tour guide showing me an unknown side of Santiago. We visited local markets and tried Chilean food. When we finished the tour the sun came up. I would really recommend this experience.

Great bike tour of Santiago! - We did the full day tour (so both the morning Market tour, and the afternoon politics one) and they were both great! Especially for the market one, we felt like we saw areas of Santiago that we wouldn't have known about/gone to without a local. Very colourful and interesting! Ray was our guide and she was lovely, knowledgeable and very clear. She kept a good balance between providing useful info without overwhelming us. Great guide!

Green bike great - Easy ride with a good guide ( Diego) who explained and pointed out several spots, historical details and curiosities. We were a small heterogéneo group from England, Australia and Italy and enjoyed the ride ( partially through a little rain) as a quick immersion in everydays markets. The tasty surprise was a good add to it.

Fun tour! - Diego was amazing! Funny, engaging, and, knowledgeable. The ride was easy and you see several areas. The markets visited are very busy (on a Sunday) so a guide was helpful. We ate delicious sopaipilla and fresh fruit juices. I’d go again!

Markets Cycle Tour - We had a fantastic tour with Ionna. She was very informative and interesting and give us a lot of confidence cycling round the city streets. We really enjoyed walking round the markets too and would love to try another tour if we came to Santiago again.
