Bike Tour Querétaro and VIP Car tours - 5+ star VIP tours !!!
While in Querétaro, MX for vacation in Feb 2017, my husband and I were trying to find some help from local tourist bureaus in English, to no avail, when a young and enterprising Uriel Peña of Bike Tour Querétaro came to our rescue. While we did not do his City Bike Tour as we had already walked all over the Centro Historico the previous week, we did decide to do 2 of his VIP car tours. Uriel Pena, the owner of his now going on 4 year old company, speaks impeccable English, Spanish, and Chinese and Japanese! We did the excellent Peña de Bernal, Freixenet and Tequisquiapan VIP tour one day, and the superb Tolantongo, Hidalgo Hot Springs VIP tour another day! Highly recommended and affordable private tours with an amazing and enthusiastic tour guide!
We returned to Querétaro Feb 2018, and arranged to do 4 different VIP day tours with BTQ and Uriel! A fun visit to the Rancho San Josemaría one day, then another day, a drive to the gorgeous City of Guanajuato with a visit to the Mummy Museum followed by a stop, walk and supper in San Miguel with Uriel and his business and now life partner Ana. Another day we went for a VIP tour to the amazing Teotihuacan pyramids, and lastly, to the local Cervecería Hércules for fun beer sampling and excellent pizza! Detailed reviews for each of these tours, with photos, have been left by me on Trip Advisor.
We had fun and informative VIP tours with Uriel and BTQ. He is reliable, courteous, and attentive to detail. He also offers an excellent selection of restaurants to eat at during his day tours, so you can choose based on your taste and budget. Note that it is customary to pay for your tour guide's meal and drinks during your day tours. Prices are always very affordable, and in fact, about half the price for a better meal than we would pay for at home! And, don't forget to tip!!!
We plan on a return visit to Querétaro in the near future and we will do other VIP tours with BTQ and Uriel Peña! This young man comes very highly recommended, as he knows his history and his way around the state of Querétaro, and beyond, including a lot of off the beaten path locations. As we speak only English and French, and not Spanish (yet!), it was wonderful to find Uriel. In addition to his courteous attention, and his interesting and informative tours, Uriel takes several photos for you of each place you visit, which is a plus for me, because while I take a lot of photos, I am rarely in them, and rarely did we ever have photos of my husband and I together! Now, because of Uriel, we have many photos of the two of us in many wonderful places!
We cannot recommend Uriel and his VIP tours highly enough! Recently, it was our pleasure to get to know Ana better, and she is an excellent addition to the BTQ crew. We look forward to seeing them again during our next visit to QRO. Muchas gracias, Uriel and Ana! ¡Hasta la próxima! A la prochaine! 5+ stars to Uriel and Ana Peña and Bike Tour Queretaro!
