Biking Dutchman was so accommodating to our last minute request for a day tour. We chose Cotopaxi and it was incredible! Really easy to book and prompt responses to all our questions. Jorge was our guide who was friendly, experienced and very patient. The tour itself blew our minds- such incredible views of stunning mountain scenery and wildlife. Jorge was really knowledgeable about the history, mountains and wildlife. Bikes were good quality and safety gear provided. We had padded shorts which were really useful on bumpy terrain. The biking is quite challenging at times- steep down hills and some incline which is much harder at altitude so you want to be confident on a bike with a moderate fitness level, saying that Jorge was really patient and we could stop whenever we wanted. It was also reassuring to have the car following us.
All in all a fantastic day riding 22km around Cotopaxi (slightly shorter than what the tour says it will be but this could have been because I struggled in the altitude). Highly recommend these tours, excellent customer service and really responsive to our needs.
