Exceptional Experience - I recommend this activity 100%!
What a beautiful experience! We were a group of 22 people and had reserved two bikes. This outing was one of the best activities of our 12-day trip.
A huge thank you to Stéphanie and Leith, our bike drivers, who helped make this afternoon a memorable moment for the whole group. Their enthusiasm, professionalism, patience, and good humor greatly enriched our experience.
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. We would also like to warmly thank Mr. Arnold, who orchestrated our reservation with efficiency and attention, thus ensuring the smooth running of this activity.
An original, pleasant experience perfectly suited for groups. I recommend it without the slightest hesitation! 🚲👏

Fun experience - It was fun and you can petal if you want. It is electric so it’s your choice. If full some seats don’t have petals. You can not drink while on the vehicle.

Sooo fun with Leaf - Was so fun, Leaf our guide was so kind and full of information. The stops were just the right amount of time and each very different. 4 of us 60 years old and decided it was our favorite excursion of the trip. One note - they can’t serve drinks outside in Halifax, but we got great drinks AND food at each stop!

Good times but different than we expected - Our group had a fun experience on this Tour but were surprised by a couple of things I want to make sure others do know. In Halifax the city does not allow you to have alcoholic beverages in the solar bike itself so the adult beverage portion we were expecting all took place at a couple of different local establishments. We were kind of expecting that we'd be able to ride and tour more of the city but we really only covered a few blocks of the city and spent the rest of the time at a waterfront bar/restaurant and a hotel bar/restaurant a couple of blocks away from the port. We still had a good time but wanted to share this detail we thought might be helpful to others.

A little disappointed for the amount of money I paid and then also having to buy food at the restaurant. - The ride itself was ok, but there were no other people on the ride which was very disappointing, I hope to meet a few people. The first place we stopped we ordered pizza which was fine but with only 2 of us, we didn't want to stay that long. We were suppose to stop at another restaurant but for a 2 hour ride more food was not necessary, and we finished a half hour early. I think there should be no ride with less than at least 4 people and one food stop is enough. Maybe a few stores to get out a view a few sites would make more sense. I would give the ride a 6/10, the driver was good.

Never again, waste of money and valuable vacation time- food was MEH! - Firstly I should preface this with the fact that in Nova Scotia you can't ride the bike with any alcoholic drinks. For us from Ontario that was a bit misleading and we were surprised when we started the tour to find this out however it's their law so what can you do. In addition, they have you stop at 3 restaurants with the expectation that you buy food & drinks (which again you can't take with you). That would be fine except the menu's offered at the stops (while discounted a small bit) left a lot to be desired. We were ushered into 3 places and the food being served was not great. So for us we were not happy with the destinations provided. The driver was a nice kid but when we didn't want to go to the third restaurant (based on our lack of enjoyment on the previous 2) we bailed and he never sent us the photo's that he took which were suppose to be shared with us for the memories of this tour. So I would say, if you want to go to 3 restaurants on vacation (approximately 2-3 hours) that are mediocre at best, buy food that is also mediocre and then have the electric bike kick in and not the peddling then this tour is for you.
