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.

Super interesting and entertaining bike tour with good bikes - Gerardo is a really nice, inspiring person. He can tell you a lot about his own personal film history and the history of Cartagena. The time flew by. Muchas Gracias

Biking in history. - Our bike tour with Gerard was exceptional. There is so much to see in Cartagena but this bike tour is the best way to feel the city in one morning, learn about its history and taste some of Cartagena traditional goodies.

Best guide in Cartagena... - Gerardo truly stands out as a guide in Cartagena. His knowledge of the city's culture, history, and architecture is unparalleled compared to other guides I've encountered. What sets him apart is not just his excellent English but also his passion for sharing insights about Cartagena that most guides overlook. Walking through the streets with Gerardo felt like diving into a living history book, each corner revealing fascinating stories and hidden gems. If you want a genuine, enriching experience in Cartagena, Gerardo is the guide you're looking for.

Amazing & Unique Tour! - Gerardo is a wonderful guide! He is clearly so proud of his city and knows so much about the area, past and present - including some amazing family history of his own. We were a little nervous to be biking around Cartagena but Gerardo lead us with confidence and it was a totally amazing and unique way to see the city!

Tour of Cartagena’s Old City - What a great tour of the old city in Cartagena. Gerardo has deep roots in the city and lives to share not only the city’s history, but he gives it a great cinematic spin based in part on his own family’s role in Cartagena’s movie scene. I particularly appreciated the many food and drink suggestions, including favorite street vendors, along the way.

Cartagena Bike and Street Food Tour - What a unique day in Cartagena combing two of our favorite things: biking and eating!!! Our guide Gerardo is not only a bike guide, he is a fashionista! He greeted us with scarfs to absorb the Colombian dew (our sweat) that was accumulating on our forehead and neck! During the tour we heard all the history of Cartagena as well as all the film history of the city. Gerardo is big in the local film industry as his family was the one who established it generations ago. Gerardo (born there) also knows all the locals which made the street food tour unique. Most enjoyable was coffee with Manuel who is from an indigenous tribe and provided magnificent coffee that you cant get in any of the coffee shops. we also made a stop at a park where we fed the monkey's coconut. All the street food was great (loved the sugar mango)! The biking part was good and the terrain flat and they are adding bile lanes all over. While the tour started about 20 minute away by taxi (easy to get and the city is very safe) we finished at the port as Gerardo arranged! This helped us maximize time. His tours can be customized to your likes and we cant say enough good things about our new friend Gerardo and his Bike & Street Food tour!!!

An Excellent Experience! - Gerardo is absolutely fantastic! He is knowledgeable, kind, and makes sure you are safe while biking throughout the busy streets of Cartagena. What makes the trip especially special is his own important family history that is interwoven in the tour. He partners with local business owners and community leaders to ensure you get a feel for the local experience. I went on a three hour tour one day, loved it so much, and booked a six hour tour the next day. Book the tour - it will be the highlight of your trip!
