A FULL-DAY TOUR GIVING YOU THE COMPLETE OVERVIEW OF OUR BELOVED SANTIAGO... BY BIKE!
Enjoy the sum of our MORNING and AFTERNOON tours at a better price to form the ultimate city bike tour experience to discover all of Santiago in just one fun-packed day with our two tour bundle!
This adventure will show you the culture behind the exotic streets of Bellavista and the taste and colors of Santiago’s renowned food markets. Learn more about Chile’s recent history as well as the Pinochet regime outside La Moneda and cruise through the numerous green parks in the capital. Lonely Planet has recommended this “two-wheel town tour with a cultural bend” ever since 2009.
The La Bicicleta Verde team knows that the best way to get around the capital is by bike. Our passionate green gurus will take you to where culture, politics, and fun collide. We can guarantee that you’ll have an amazing time with our team — our 10+ years of experience and thousands of happy travelers can vouch for that.
Our local guru guide (the person with the knowledge, cycle skill sets, and great looks of course) will get you informed, fitted, and kitted upon arrival. Please arrive a couple minutes prior to your ride.
