“This was more fun then expected! The guide was awesome and it was great to venture around and see local stuff !”
Ride Guatemala City’s cycle paths to volcano views, grand plazas, historic monuments, and the Civic Center with guides, snacks, and hotel transport.
“The hosts of the tour were very nice and pleasant. The pick up and drop off were easy going. The tour is easy to do and acceptable for a wide range of age groups. I support this company and hope that many people in the future will give it a try”
Review of Riding Guate’s 4-hour Guatemala City bike tour, with volcano views, historic plazas, safe cycle paths, snacks, and practical tips.
“This is the best way to see Guatemala City if you’re an active traveler. The bike paths cover over 15 miles and take you to all corners of the city past major monuments and sights. The tour guides are well informed and the audio portion explains the history behind what you’re seeing. I especially appreciated the thoughtful bananas and additional drinks at one of our stops. They let you go at your pace if you want more breaks or time at the sites. I would not recommend for beginner cyclists.”
Cycle from Antigua into the Almolonga Valley, uncover lost Ciudad Vieja, visit Valhalla macadamia farm, and meet local village life.
“We loved this tour so much! It was an incredible way to learn about Antigua and the surrounding villages and areas. Getting to see the areas outside of Antigua especially is something we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise on our trip and was such a highlight. It’s a beautiful bike ride too with so many great views. Our guide was so wonderful, extremely accommodating, fun and taught us so much. He was very patient with us and made sure we felt comfortable and safe as people who don’t bike often. Highly recommend!”
Ride beyond Antigua to colonial ruins, Maya weaving villages, and a macadamia farm on this active, culture-filled half-day tour.
“Very enjoyable ride in the surrounding towns of Antigua. Quite energetic particularly a couple of big hills but we dismounted and walked. We visited some interesting sites including some churches and town centres. We were taken to several businesses which were interesting but did include some reasonably gentle sales pitches (chocolate factory, textile shops, macadamia farm). You need good riding skills as we went on some reasonably busy roads. Good quality bikes. Our guide was friendly and competent. Overall highly recommended.”
Cycle Antigua at sunset for local food, colonial landmarks, cobblestone streets, and craft beer in a small five-hour tour.
“This was a great experience. We learned so much about the history and various stories about Antigua from our guide along the path to each of 7 amazing authentic food destinations. Bicycling all around cobblestone roads was a fun challenge and completely worth the incredible experience and delicious food!”
Cycle from Antigua to Finca Azotea, learn coffee production, sample Guatemalan blends, and visit Maya museums on this four-hour tour.
“This was a great experience! Our guide was fabulous! He was very knowledgeable about the area and about the coffee making process. I would definitely recommend this tour.”
Cycle from Antigua into Guatemala’s coffee country, roast beans with a local family, and enjoy a traditional lunch on this half-day tour.
“Amazing experience! Bike riding through Antigua was beautiful and the visit to see how coffee was made with lunch with a local family was great too. Highly recommend. Good people.”
Bike through Guatemala City’s Avenida Las Américas, visiting 20 plazas, historic monuments, and Berlin Square with a private guide.
“It was a workout for me. Excellent tour guide. Friendly personable & informative. Grateful for the experience.”
Ride Acatenango’s volcanic slopes on a guided Antigua mountain bike tour with single-track descents, volcano views, ruins, and forest trails.

Volcanoes, ruins, lake villages and market days.
