You really won’t have to deal with much traffic at all and unlike most places we’ve done this sort of thing the bike lanes run down the middle of the main streets…super well coned off, but also a fabulous way to really feel immersed in, rather than just looking at, the city. Do it - you will have fun while you…”

Our tour was to include a complimentary bottle of water - which we didn’t receive. We were encouraged to have an espresso while we were waiting - I thought this would be complimentary since our tour was so late getting started instead I was charged 5 soles for a cold cup of expresso. Overall Manny was a decent guide and his English was very good. Unfortunately out of the group of 7 - 3 of them were not experienced bike riders…”
