Extraordinary bike tours - a must-do if visiting Cartagena!!! - We had the pleasure of taking two tours of the walled city and Boquilla with “Mr. Gerry,” as our children fondly called him! Gerardo offered a highly customized, thoughtful experience, that exposed us to new hidden gems, beautiful scenery, and a comprehensive history lesson of Cartagena. Mr. Gerry is warm, personable, attentive, and genuinely and lovingly engaged with our kids in fluent Spanish and English (both kids are under 10 years old). The bikes were perfect in all sizes for our family & Gerardo was most accommodating of our comforts and needs. Five stars! If you are going to Cartagena, the Cartagena Bike Tour offers experiences you won’t want to miss! Tuvimos el placer de hacer dos recorridos por la ciudad amurallada y Boquilla con "Mr. Gerry", ¡como lo llamaban cariñosamente nuestros hijos! Gerardo ofreció una experiencia altamente personalizada y reflexiva, que nos expuso a nuevas gemas ocultas, hermosos paisajes y una lección completa de historia de Cartagena. El Sr. Gerry es cálido, agradable, atento y genuina y amorosamente comprometido con nuestros hijos en español e inglés fluidos (ambos niños tienen menos de 10 años). Las bicicletas eran perfectas en todos los tamaños para nuestra familia y Gerardo fue muy complaciente con nuestras comodidades y necesidades. ¡Cinco estrellas! Si vas a Cartagena, el Cartagena Bike Tour ofrece experiencias que no querrás perderte.

A Must Do in Cartagena! - This bike tour was a highlight of my trip! Gerardo is an exceptional story teller! His personal knowledge of Cartagena and the city's rich history sets him apart. He should write a book. His passion for his craft is palpable and contributes to an exciting ride with new kernels of knowledge around each turn. While I have been on bland tours in many cities where guides point out landmarks with lackluster energy, Gerardo provides nuance and detail to his tour making you feel like you are on a magical ride back in time and through a storybook. It is nice to see how well known and respected he is in Cartagena. Throughout the ride people stop to say hi to him around the city. This is a must for any traveler visiting Cartagena!

Bike delight tour - An amazing bike tour, BEST way to see Cartagena! In a tourist town that can be tied up in traffic we freely moved thru the city. Can’t wait to do it again. We enjoyed fresh squeezed juice and the perfect Colombian coffee too!

Absolutely fantastic bike tour with elements of movies added in. - The fact that Gerardo became a friend at the end of my tour, should say it all. This tour is an absolute MUST DO. I have done 2 tours with Gerardo on back to back days, and he let me keep the bike overnight in my apartment, which was a bonus. Gerardo is full of energy, charisma, charm and knowledge. He smoothly goes through the tour, in a unique creative manner, answering all questions, stopping for photos where I wanted to, and making safety a priority on the roads. I was actually disappointed when the tours ended, I loved them that much. Thanks again for everything Gerardo.
