The Best Way to Make the Most of Your Time In and Around Quito
I cannot recommend Quito Bike Tours highly enough. I started with a half day cultural city bike tour and ended up booking two more within the same week! Catalina is not only a super star business owner but is a master tour guide as well. She was very responsive and flexible with our schedule. If there wasn’t a tour that did exactly what we were looking for they adapted and catered to our requests as much as possible. The whole team is incredibly friendly and supportive and always keeping an eye on safety. Their knowledge and passion for sharing the historic and cultural aspects of Quito and Ecuador was truly remarkable and I learned so much. I will continue to recommend this crew to friends and hope to be back to tour with them again!

Absolutely Fantastic!!
Absolutely stellar experience. Catalina not only owns the business but leads the tours herself. Every detail was taken care of hyper efficiently. They are just incredible!

Great bike tour of Quito
Very well run tour. Easy to book. We did a Private tour and the guides accommodated us to adapt the tour in flight to our desires. Would definitely recommend.

Super bike tour of Quito
Excellent and interesting tour. This is not a sightseeing tour per se but more of an opportunity to experience some of the Quito culture in the market and riding through parks and on bike lanes. We bike at home and it helped as there were technical pieces and one very strenuous hill! We had a guide in front and one behind. They were enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Quito and Ecuadorian culture.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $99 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi Volcano full day tour with all the entrances, every day, Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours?
+
Included: Reflective safety vest; Safety-certified helmet; Quito Bike Tours Quality Mountain Bikes 18-speed; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Bicycle chain, lock, and key. Not included: Water; and Típs. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Meet our guides at San Ignacio Restaurant located on the corner of Isabela Católica and Luis Cordero. La Floresta Neighborhood. They are ready to welcome you and ensure a seamless start to your exciting journey. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Quito Cultural Bike Tour - Private Tours offered in?
+
