Adrenaline rush!
Amazing tour. The e-bikes were top quality! Very well organized and our guide Carlos was very helpful and patient. The views were incredible in the mountains and the MTB single trails were really fun. The tour ended with some great food. We are very happy we chose to do this tour. Be prepared, this is a real adventure! Absolutely recommended!

Memorablest Activity in Oaxaca
We were out for half a day with the Coyote team. It was incredibly beautiful. We drove 1.5 hours to the starting point on a mountain. From there we went down to the valley on modern mountain bikes. Not too slow and still careful. It was perfect and we felt very well looked after. Afterwards we had a delicious lunch in the village with locals. Very personal and not at all touristy. We were shown how carpets are made on site. Then we went to another mountain for a sunset hike. This was spectacular with a gorgeous view. The team gave us a wonderful unforgettable day. We can heartily recommend it if you are looking for something outside the main tourist attractions with individual activities.

Incredible experience in the mountains of Teotitlan del Valle
We had an amazing experience in Teotitlan del Valle. My favorite part was biking down the mountains but also the hike at sunset was beautiful. I love seeing the artisans' house and how the make their handcrafts. If you love carpets, do not miss the chance to buy from the creators which have a lot of different design options and give you a better price because you buy directly from them. The food cooked by Josefina was delicious, I recommend the mole. Overall, I would say that this tour gives you the opportunity to have an adventure, enjoy nature, but also to connect with the locals, eat their food and see how they continue with the traditions of handcrafting and natural dyes techniques.

Memorable day in the mountains
What a fantastic day! We started with a breakfast in a typical local village which was great to sample the locals way of life. The bike ride was spectacular and Fernando our guide was informative and fun. The tour took great care to really immersive is into the locals world. Fernando is a fun guy to chat with, very knowledgeable and he was interested in me and my background! The cycle down from the the mountains to the villages below was something out of a car commercial. Simply breathtaking! Thanks for a special day where I felt like I was a local one minute and flying through the mountains the next! Liam

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Scenic Bike Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Scenic Bike Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $291 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Scenic Bike Ride take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Oaxaca City is not rushed.
Is Scenic Bike Ride 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 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Scenic Bike Ride?
+
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 Scenic Bike Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Scenic Bike Ride?
+
Around 6 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Scenic Bike Ride 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City?
+
On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. 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 Oaxaca City?
+
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 Oaxaca City?
+
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.
