Super nice and really helpful

Took a bike to El Chato to the tortoise ranch was amazing. Julia was super nice and really helpful, told me where to go, where to get the bus, explained all the best options of what to see. They also provide helmets, spare tyre, tool kit and pump for the journey. My bike was a little too big so I brought it back and they changed it for me no probs. Highly recommend.

Fantastic El Chato and Los Gemelos Bike Tour

Had such a fantastic tour to Los Gemelos and El Chato - with a conventional bike not an e-bike. Everything was super easy to organise via WhatsApp (thanks Michelle!) and when I turned up on the day I was the only one booked so had a guide to myself. My guide Mario was an absolute legend, he made the day so enjoyable and was super supportive during the tougher uphill sections out of El Chato. The bike did the job well and had good brakes for the downhill sections. Would like 100% recommend the service and people here. Literally is bike and smile.

Just good feelings for this experience with Bike & Smile services. We contacted with Richard just to rent a bike and make a tour in Santa Cruz Island, but we found a friend passionate of his birthplace and enthusiastic in sharing his experience to choose and plan activities. We got full support and great flexibility in our day by day last minute planning, both on Santa Cruz and Isabela Island. Highly recommended.
