We did this on the first morning we were in Santiago. It was close to our Hotel (Luciano K - also highly recommended) and we did a morning tour.
The bikes were easy to ride and good for the various areas we went to. Riding is mostly on bike paths but some riding on roads which was fine - if you can ride a bike you can do this easily.
The most interesting part was the markets themselves. These are fascinating and massive - easily the largest I have seen anywhere in the world by a big margin. The aroma’s, variety and food we had was great.
Our guide spoke 4 languages and visits the markets weekly, so she was very knowledgeable and prepared. She also gave us good tips on what else to do. The tour starts and ends near the entrance to the Fenicula going up nearby San Cristobal, which is a great thing to do right after the bike tour.
Lots of things to see and highly recommended.
