J enjoyed the professionalism of the activity provider. There was a mistake in the amount of people who were supposed to attend the activity which in my opinion was an issue with the GYG reservation. I reserved the activity for three people but on the day of the activity, my reservation reflected one person when the original reservation was for three people. The activity provider still honored my original reservation and ensured that everyone had tickets to Cerro San Cristobal. We appreciated the activity provider’s ability to remedy the error. We were celebrating my brother’s birthday and we wanted to maintain the positive vibes. I also enjoyed how the tour guide treated us like family and not like foreigners. He took us to a local restaurant to try authentic empanadas. I can go on and on about this activity, but I think you should experience the activity for yourself.

Very informative, an easy bike ride through the city. I loved it! I just wished it was a bit longer.

Loved the tour, guide was super knowledgeable and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable.
