“The bike tour was an outstanding way to experience Santiago, and Tomás made it truly special. He was an excellent and incredibly personable host, with a deep knowledge of Chilean history and culture. The way he explained things made the city come alive and I felt like I was learning insights and stories I never would have gotten from an ordinary tour. Thanks to Tomás, it genuinely felt like I was riding through the living history of Santiago. What I appreciated most was how he blended history with everyday life, sharing how people actually live in the city. That personal touch made the experience feel authentic and intimate rather than…”

“Beautiful bike ride - got to see some really cool parts of Santiago. But I definitely was not skilled enough for this tour/ the mountain biking part was difficult; however, Balthazar was super accommodating and helped me find a route down the mountain! Note that this tour will require biking up the hill which was hard but the views were worth it.”
Ride an electric mountain bike from Santiago into the Andes at RKF Durazno Bike Park. Private, guided or self-ride options. 3 hours.
“First off, this was an incredible experience! Just a detail to note, I was under the impression that it was an instructor-led mountain bike tour given some other reviews. It is not. You get picked up at your hotel and driven to the mountain bike park. They set you up for success with quality e-bikes, and everything you need to mountain bike on your own. You get 3 hours to enjoy the mountain bike park, and then they pick you up the entrance. Overall, great experience, lots of challenging trails with breathtaking views.”

The bike was comfortable and safe, and the tour pace was perfect for enjoying the scenery and architecture. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and fun experience. It was a perfect day on a bike!"”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
