Highly recommend - We had a great time on our tour. Doug and Darren were fun, helpful, accommodating and informative. The bikes were in good condition. So glad we chose to spend our day in port with them.

Hybred doesn’t mean e bike - On our end we thought hybred bikes were e bikes. These gentlemen were awesome and rolled with the tide. Gave us a wonderful tour but will say remember your last bike ride and Saint John is hills on the ocean. Be prepared for moderate hills. Thank you.

Great time! - We were looking for an active excursion to do during our Cruise to St. John's, NB, Canada. We found this excursion on Viator and decided to book it! It was easy to get to from our ship! Our guide was amazing and it was perfect for my husband and I! Everyone who works there is incredibly nice! It was a great time! We were so happy we booked it!

A great afternoon experience - Wonderful time on the bike
We learned a lot about St. John and the geological makeup of the area from Darren. He was fun, easy to talk to, informative, and always had our safety in mind. The bikes were in good condition, and the riding was great exercise.
We would definitely recommend it.

Great way to see the local highlights - This company is wonderful: Wanda was so helpful beforehand with answering questions and handling Viator issues (booking the right-sized bike can be tricky). Darren, our guide, was personable, friendly, knowledgeable, patient (lots of hills around the area) and easy to interact with.
St. John doesn’t have a tremendous amount to see, but that being said, that’s not the fault of the company. We were happy to see the available sights on a bike rather than by sitting on a bus. Much more interesting and interactive.
Thanks for a fun afternoon!
