Brilliant. Fun and informative. - Check in was easy and the bikes were fully explained.
Steph was a fantastic guide and was fun and informative.
Had a great tour of Santa Monica and Venice.
You can cover a greater distance with the electric bikes which was good.
All in all a very good experience and I fully recommend it.

Great Way to Start Our Vacation - The bike tour was our first stop during our trip to LA. Our guide Steph was very knowledgeable and shares so many fun stories along the way. This is a good tour to see the highlights of Santa Monica and Venice and capture great photos. The electric bikes were a also a bonus that allowed us to cover more ground than we would have just walking. We highly recommend this tour and thank you for a fun experience!

Wonderful, informative bike tour- would highly recommend- great way to see the beaches and sights! - Barb was our tour guide and a fantastic job!! We rode all along Santa Monica and Venice and were able to stop frequently to take photos and hear more history about the locations!! It was a beautiful ride and Barb was super nice, helpful, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly!! I went with my son and we had a blast and were so glad to see all the sights on a very easy to ride bike (and Barb was a great teacher also about how to navigate the use of the bikes, which were very easy!!). Would highly recommend and Barb made it fantastic!!

Great fun tour - We had an amazing tour with Stef. Would sit and listen to his stories and local knowledge all day. Barb was also really helpful in setting up our bikes and making sure that we were comfortable. The extra touches like a rain jacket and snack were very appreciated when the wind and rain came along but still a great tour with insights into the local area. Highly recommend

Such a fun tour - A must do when in Santa Monica or Venice Beach. I haven’t ridden a bike in many many years but that didn’t matter. This was a perfect few hours to experience all that is SM and Venice Beach. Without a guide I wouldn’t have been confident to ride a bike in the paths when it is so busy and wouldn’t have known where to stop or what to look for. Barb was a fabulous guide making the tour fun and accessible. I had my 13yo with me and he also loved it. Thank You!!

Great afternoon - Great tour. Easy peddle on the electric bikes, you don’t even have to peddle if you don’t want to.
Stef was a very knowledgeable guide.
Be prepared if you have never been to Venice beach it’s crazy but great for people watching. We had a ball doing this tour and loved every minute or it.
Worth the money. Just watch out when feeding the duck those little buggers can bite 😂😂😂

Amazing Experience! - We got recommended this tour from friends and it did not disappoint! For us who only have 3 days in California, this was an incredible way to see Santa Monica, Venice and its surrounds while getting all the information and local knowledge. We had Stef as our guide and he was amazing, super friendly and knowledgeable! & Barb who dealt with our booking had great communication (was unsure if it would go ahead due to weather)
Would highly highly recommend this to anyone in the area.

Beautiful fun day - We were welcomed warmly and given clear instructions. Those who were using e bikes for the first time were able to learn quickly. The route was fun and the stops to learn local facts were very interesting. We loved seeing the Venice canals. Thanks for a great experience!
