Beaches, Views & Bays Bike Tour

 

• • I did just the half day morning tour and recommend that anyone who has just arrived to Rio - take this tour! It was a great pre-cursor for things that I had scheduled for other tours and gave me a chance to find out about places that I might venture to on my own time, like the Museum of Tomorrow which was very interesting. I am very fit but don't typically cycle and it was just enough, though I didn't realized we got in so many miles! Loved that we stopped for coconut water and were encouraged to take as many stops as we wanted for pictures. Ivan is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!
