Why join this tour

Bogotá Medellín might just be the best week of riding. Over six action-packed stages, including Alto del Sifón, we climb and descend the soaring slopes of the Andes. At times, they open to wide,golden valleys. Other times, they shelter blooming forests and the
perfect terrain for fragrant, mountain-grown, silky coffee.

Everything was well organized, good bike, and he took time to find a nice Jersey for me :) Communication in English was perfect too. I highly recommend his tours and services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was in Bogota for work and reached out ahead of time to see if I could go a short trip. I only had three days so was thinking just day trips from Bogota. Tomás and Cyclota instead shortened the usual 4 day tour for me and I got to get in big, classic climbs and ride beautiful roads with amazing accommodations. It was way more than I could have hoped for. I never would have been able to stitch such a three day trip together with really unique accommodations and great food like that in my own. No way. Oscar and Camilo were fun and super supportive without smothering. It made everything safe and easier for me after a busy work week with no time to have prepare for this. I also borrowed a bike which was excellent and always in tip top shape. Easy, fun, rewarding, and tasty! Will definitely try to make it back.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My spouse and I have cycled all over the world, and Colombia was on our bucket list. Tomas and Cyclota did an amazing job communicating with us and customizing our 7-day tour, riding Bogota area 1 day plus the "La Colonizacion" tour from Medellin.  Our guided tour was fantastic in every way.  Our cycling guide, Paola, speaks fluent English and is very knowledgeable about the plant and animal life, and the history and culture of all the areas. Oscar, our driver, is a very kind man with an amazing sense of humor. He selected our cafe's for lunch and restaurants each night and all were amazing local and international cuisine. The tours were full of incredible scenery and climbs, and the highlight was our stay high up a mountain ridge near Salgar, La Manchuria coffee farm. All accommodations were lovely and comfortable. The rental bikes were very good quality bicycle that Tomas arranged. All our needs were taken care of from meeting the team at the Bogota airport until we said farewell in Medellin.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visiting Bogotá and hoping to ride up a hill, I got in touch with Cyclota and on less than a day's notice I was riding up Patios with Tomás. Great bike, great guide. I'm in just barely good enough shape for this ride, and Tomás was supportive and inspiring. I am still working on my Spanish so it helped that he is fluent in English. My only regret is I only get one day on this trip to go out for a ride!
