Easy- Educational- Enjoyable - A great way to see the city and learn history. Tour guide Jordano knowledgeable, cautious and interactive with all our questions and picture requests. Bikes were comfortable and water provided on the tour. We saw many tours on foot with groups of 15 to 20. Being on a bike tour provided us a group of 6. Easier to hear the information and move at enjoyable pace. We used the blue cruiser bikes you see in the pictures. All maintained. Helmets are optional. However- we all wore helmets- streets and traffic movement is very different than the US. I would recommend the BIKE tour over the walking tours any day.

Discover Santo Domingo by bike: a must! - This is the first activity you need to do when visiting Santo Domingo! The bike tour with José was amazing. Thanks to his knowledge of the city, we learned a lot. José's anecdotes about the history of the city were fascinating. He took the time to adapt to our interests and gave us valuable tips to discover this city. We loved strolling through the small streets and discovering authentic places. Thank you again for this morning, we keep an unforgettable memory. Charlene and Julien.

Fantastic experience - This was the highlight of our time in Santo Domingo- so informative and fun. I would highly highly recommend, our guide was probably one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had, he really brought Dominican ( and wider Caribbean) history to life

Must visit! Very authentic! - This was the coolest activity we did in Santo Domingo/ Zona colonial. There are various tours offered, but I guarantee this was the most authentic and realist! The tour guides paint a realistic and accepting picture of the city. Bicycling made the tour more engaging and enjoyable! At the end of the tour they gave us a map with great must visit locations! I recommend you do this trip on the first day of your visit of Santo Domingo! Loved the overall vibes! Definitely recommend!
