TAILOR MADE TOUR
If you are looking to do a different tour, we can arrange a tour specific to your needs. It can be for groups up to more than 100 people, were we arrange the whole operation from bringing the bikes to the hotel, helmets for all participants, mechanics and pick up of the bikes.
But we also can create a tour for small groups, with another route, or for you and your family with little children, since Rio de Janeiro is perfectly suitable to ride the bike for kids from 10 years or older. And we have seats available for the smaller ones.
FAVELAS IN RIO
Social impact & sustainability
Rio de Janeiro is a city with over a thousand favelas and more three million people living there. You can imagine the importance of these neighborhoods in day to day life in Rio de Janeiro. A visit to Rio is not complete without a look in one of the communities. We are convinced this should be a part of your to do list when in Rio.
We as Rio by Bike see it as our responsibility to give back to the communities. When living in Rio de Janeiro it is impossible to not see the social differences and inequalities. With our bike tours we offer sustainable tours, but we also strive to increase our social impact in the city.
We are connected to the non-governmental organization EduMais, that works in the favelas of Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho. They teach the kids English and have a program of after school activities. Rio by Bike supports this ONG with their time and money. For more info about the project EduMais, please send us a message.
PRIVATE DAY TOURS - by CAR
The city of Rio de Janeiro has a lot to offer, and lots of places in Rio are not reachable on the bike. But we also want to take you to these places, and we also want to share our passion for Rio de Janeiro with those who are not able to ride the bicycle or just don’t feel like exploring on two wheels. So, here we are, offering you our Private Day Tours with a car or van.
OTHER SERVICES
Besides our bike tours, we and our trusted partners offer various other adventure activities.
An impressive 20 minutes flight over Rio de Janeiro. You won’t find a cheaper and longer flight in Rio de Janeiro, with all the highlights, beaches. A once in a life time experience.
For the adventurous souls, a jump from Pedra Bonita, with a parachute or hang glider. The adrenaline is huge, the heart beats loud, but the views are incredible
One of the biggest city forests in the world, Tijuca Forest, filled with waterfalls and the highest peak in the city, called Pico da Tijuca with more than a 1000 meters. Active and satisfying.
Our Guides
We work with professional and credentialed guides. Our guides are trained to take you safely through the streets of Rio de Janeiro and are capable of doing the urgent repairs, e.g. a flat tire.
Our Bikes
Our bikes are a bit different than what is the normal bike in Brazil. Instead of a mountain bike, which is the standard bike, we use a typical Dutch ‘granny’ city model. Stylish and light.
Why Rio de Janeiro?
Rio de Janeiro is a great city to explore on a bike. The city has over 400 kilometers of bike lane and is mostly flat. This combined with the great views and beaches, is a recipe for an awesome experience.
