This was a great bike ride through lots of trees and nature. We saw a crocodile basking in the sun. It's paved, some shaded areas and some small inclines. It's a nice ride! Our tour guide, Elouise, was great! She is very friendly, speaks english well and you can tell she loves her job. She went above and beyond to capture great moments of our adventure and educated us on some Mexican traditions. We also saw a beautiful beach and had delicious tacos. It was a fun day in Ixtapa. We will definitely hire her again when we return.

Luis was a fabulous tour guide! He was very knowledgeable about Xihuacan culture and archeology! We learned so much more about Zihuatanejo, development, beaches, plants and animals too! We even were able to go into a local community and tour a home while enjoying fresh tortillas! The people are so welcoming and kind. Lunch from a local restaurant was provided. The tour took about 5 hours from pick up at hotel to drop off at hotel. Taken in a comfortable a/c van. We highly recommend this tour!!
