About
Welcome to RutaBikes! Since 2012 we offer Bike City tours in Havana, as well as bikes rental for self-exploring the city or for long journeys along Cuba. With our local guides you will have a glimpse of our customs, culture or our daily life. Our three mainly city tours: Classic, Sunset and Bay, are properly designed to give you a first impression of this city and its suburban areas. Our tours cover some of those “must see” places you have heard about, but also many areas out of the beaten tracks: Hidden places, small alleys, secret corners, and always close to the Cuban people. In RutaBikes we are able to take care of either a single client or large groups. If you're planing your holidays with friends or family, let us take care about every detail: Bikes, transportation, accommodation and else. Are you one of those who like to explore on your own? Take your own way with one of our bikes. RutaBikes is a bicycle world in Havana!

Booked a bike tour in havana to see the sunset and the city! The guide Sam was very informative and friendly and helped me feel safe while driving on the streets. The staff in the office were very nice and helpful as well. Highly recommend a bike tour with Ruta bikes to see havana!

My 14 year son and I booked through Baja Bikes. Wonderful 4 hour bike ride with knowledgeable guide Sam whose English was quite good. Visited Vedado, Miramar, Central, Ciudad Vieja, and Malecon. About 20 kms, water and snack included. Very reasonably priced. Strongly recommended.

My husband and I recently went on a 12-day guided bicycle tour. The entire experience was amazing. Our guide, Boris, was tremendous every step of the way. His knowledge of the roads and back trails was extensive; his guiding skills top-notch in every way. Thanks to him we gained an appreciation of the Cuban landscape and the Cuban people.
The staff at Rutabikes, especially Mimi, were very helpful. The equipment was very good. We highly recommend this experience!

I took the long tour around the Bay of Havana, and had an excellent time.My guide Boris was very friendly, helpful and reliable. I would strongly recommend one of their tours for those who love cycling and want to discover the fascinating city of Havana in a different way. The bike was very comfortable, in excellent condition and the staff very welcoming and warm. Thank you!

Sam took us all around Havana. It was interesting and insightful to see the non-touristic parts of Havana. The forest of Havana is also amazing and something we would have missed if we did not do this tour. Sam could answer all of our questions and provided a good insight in the lives of the locals. We recommend taking the tour on your first day in Havana, it provides good overview of the city and you will still have time to try some of the suggestions of your guide.

Classic tour with expert guide Orlando. An excellent way to orientate yourself in Havana, we loved it. Easy to moderate cycling (1 small hill, Havana is pretty flat really), bikes were excellent and we were supported by our own mechanic. Highlight was our guide Orlando who was great company and hugely knowledgeable about the city and Cuba.

Modern safe bikes, competent and helpful staff. We rented them for two days, first time with a guided tour and then we felt ready for our own exploration. Havana is an extended city so it was a good way to go around and make the most of our two days.

An awesome way to explore Havana and - as a bonus- learn the ins and outs of live in Cuba. Next to this, special compliments for our tour guide who (just for us) changed his schedule to make sure that we could have the tour on our preferred time! What a service.

This was my first trip back to Havana since the pandemic began. So much has changed, but Ruta Bikes, like the rest of Cuba, has survived, and is poised for a resurgence. I had done a longer-term rental with Ruta before, so I was pleased to find that Angie was still available to book a 10 day rental. Even though I had to change my booking, Angie, joined by Mimi and Bryan, kept in touch and made sure all was good. I have been on all of their city tours, but still went on a ride with Boris, one of the founders, just to reacquaint with the city. A bicycle is by far the best way to see Havana, and having a good guide who can give you history, culture, and even lessons about the aqueduct system and indigenous plants and animals is invaluable to those who want to really know Havana.
I ended up adding days to my visit, and made some fun day trips, including to Fusterlandia, Finca Vigia, Regla, Guanabo and the Botanical Gardens. I recommend you take a guided tour, get a feel for the city, and then rent a bike and strike out on your own. Make sure you have downloaded an offline-accessible map app, like maps.me, before you arrive! Everyone associated with Ruta is kind, professional, and so very helpful! Go see them, see Havana on a bike, and have fun!

Dear bowsermania
I was personally aware of your visit and rebooking. I´m very pleased to hear that everything worked so good for you. Surviving was hard, but here are we again. You´ll be always welcome to RutaBikes.

I'm so sorry I am so late answering this question - I was traveling and did not have internet access.
I booked this trip by contacting Rutabikes. However, next time, I would book it directly with my fantastic guide, Boris Diaz Rodriguez. He will arrange everything for you, including bicycles. His e-mail is borisdr.nauta.cu.
Please let Boris know I recommended him to you. Hope you have a great trip!

How did you get from the ship to the start of the tour? How did you get back to the ship? If by taxi, how much did it cost? Thanks.

Taxi both ways. Some taxis will come back to get you but we got one on the Malecon back. Only pay $10 CUC. We got scammed into paying $20 CUC when everyone else in our group paid lower.
