The experience
You meet your guide at the downtown bicycle location and choose your bike while the team makes sure you're comfortable in the saddle. Then you roll straight into the bike lane. Your guide has logged a thousand kilometers on these streets and rides with small groups, narrating the battles and legends behind the sculptures and buildings lining Paseo de la Reforma. The Angel of Independence marks a stop where you'll learn why Mexico celebrates El Grito de Independencia and discover details about the monument's original design that most riders don't know.
The route continues into Chapultepec Park, awarded the Best Urban Park in the World and the most visited place in Mexico. The park holds nature, archaeological sites, and Chapultepec Castle, the only true castle in America, so there's both history and landscape to move through. On Sundays, Reforma Avenue itself closes to motorists, which is what makes the ride possible without negotiating traffic. Families use the street for physical activities, and you're part of that flow.
Partway through, you stop for street food: tacos, quesadillas, tlacoyos, gorditas, chilaquiles and other options that accommodate different diets. Bottled water and a helmet are included, and the guide speaks English or Spanish depending on your group. The tour runs four hours total, and a minimum of two people per booking is required.
