Amazing Experience - We did the tortoise and lava tunnel tour, including bike ride and lunch and had an amazing time. We met JC at the marina and picked up the bikes. Then transferred by vehicle uphill for the first part of cycling to the reserve. We had an informative brief about the tortoises and set off into the reserve seeing many tortoises in their natural habitat. Then into the lava tunnel for a circular walk seeing the beautiful coloured stalagmites and stalactites. Then back to the reserve restaurant for amazing lunch with fresh local ingredients. To finish the tour we then cycled back to Puerto Ayora. The cycling is 95% downhill and easy and a nice way to see the local countryside. This is a family run business and they are passionate about nature and their work. We had an unforgettable experience and many thanks to JC and all the staff. We can highly recommend this tour.

Lava tunnel - The lava tunnels is a natural formation site that can be easily observed, the structure it has is unique. His tour was entertaining and good. As a recommendation it is good to go with boots in case the road past 100 m is muddy from the rains

Enjoyed every minute! - Wonderful experience! Our guide, Julio, was amazing! Two in our group fell ill for a couple days, and the operator allowed us to reschedule the morning of the tour which was greatly appreciated by all.

BiciTour Galapagos - This is the first of 3 reviews for Galapagos by John Paniccia +1 973 632 4093. We had a good experience during this tour once we were able to finally connect with the tour guide. Your description shows NAUTIDIVING S.A. Fragata 47, Puerto Ayora 200350, Ecuador as the Meeting Point for this tour. When we arrived via taxi the NAUTDIVING personnel had no knowledge of this tour nor of their location being a Meeting Point. Luckily, our taxi driver waited and took us to Parque San Francisco where we were able to meet the tour guide at that location...even tough we arrived late. You need to update your description to remove NAUTDIVING as a Meeting Point.

Bike ride and tortoise reserve with lava tunnel walk - This was a good combination of a bike ride with a visit to the tortoise reserve. We were driven to a closer location to the reserve before we began our ride. When we arrived we listened to a talk about the history of the place then went for a walk to the lava tunnels. After this we had a refreshing blackberry drink before riding all the way back to the bike shop.

Fun ride & walk - Great trip. The host was great and friendly. The walk was a bit long, but the lava cave was cool. Lovely trip. I do recommend.

Disappointing but interesting - Disappointing- limited English with the bike guide. Cycled 4 blocks on not great bikes and waited for a taxi to pick us up then drop us off to cycle to Galapagos Frontier - a nature reserve to see the giant tortoises. We were given water and a snack and waited for others to join us. We were given a guided tour of the reserve where we saw many many giant tortoises. Then we were taken through the reserve and saw many more! Then we went to the Lava tunnels, ok but there is a limit to how many things you can look at that all look the same. The ‘experience’ was over 2 hours and we walked our 10000 steps! Then cycled back with the guide who was clearly miffed because I had commented it took too long! He cycled us through red cycle lights and cycled way ahead of us with little consideration for us. I’m disappointed as have used Viator in the past with great success. Credit to Caesar who owns the reserve, he is passionate about the place and very informative about the flora and fauna. Everything had to be translated through two great German lads. They need to be aware of timings and consider the audience!
