Additional Information

The concept of organizing e-bike trips around Rio originated from my zeal for biking and my admiration for the city I consider home.

A Very Unique, But The Best Way To See Rio! - We spent the most amazing 7 hours with Stefano on his "long" tour. I was initially a little apprehensive because I've never been on an e-bike before. But I needn't have worried. Stefano was so patient throughout the tour, making sure I was comfortable on the bike, providing clear instructions, and guiding with the upmost care. He took a portfolio of pictures and videos for us so we can just simply enjoy our ride and Rio! Stefano was humorous - told us funny stories and a nature lover - very knowledgeable of the floral & fauna. In 7 hours, he gave us the most comprehensive tour of Rio - the hip Santa Teresa, many beautiful lookout points and quiet areas in Tijuca NP, and all the famous beaches. His bikes are in great condition. In the end, not only we got some exercises, we also felt we were just riding and hanging out with a friend, and not on a pedestrian touristy tour!

10/10 - Stefano was an oustanding guide - so friendly, knowledgeable on the area and good fun. I'd highly recommend doing this tour early in your Rio stay as you get to see pretty much all of the city. Bikes were great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. You will need to have a little bit of fitness and some familiarity with cycling.

one of the best things to do in Rio - Great tour and great guide! Highly recommend for something different to do in Rio. 3-4 hours in duration, lots of ops to take photos, a different perspective, a knowledgeable and experienced guide, and the bikes are great!

Brilliant bike ride and excellent guide - Brilliant bike ride. We have done many city rides all over the world and this was by far the best. The electric bikes helped with the hills and heat. Stefano was an excellent guide who looked after us and gave us very useful information about the area we were travelling through. Highly recommend.
