Bicycle Tour Mexico
BicycleTourMexico specializes in tours around the Baja region of Mexico. We also offer occasional tours in Yucatan. We like to keep things simple and fun, and thus affordable and practical for just about anyone who would love to experience Mexico on a bicycle. We don't try to pound out the miles. We don't stay in fancy hotels. We don't ride fancy bikes. We mostly just ride through incredible scenery, stopping at the end of the day to take in the local vibe, have a few tacos and beers, and rest our weary legs. And we'd love for you to join us this winter.
