Highly recommended bike tour - Rina led our small group on a pleasant and informative trip to some Seattle highlights on nice (non-e) bikes. We saw a nice variety of sights. We were on dedicated bike paths on almost the entire tour. It felt very safe. I recommend this tour!
I found it a little tricky to find the group as the sign wasn't out, and it wasn't clear where to go around the building. But I called the number and found the group without too much trouble. We had interesting stops from the Seattle Center to the bottom of Lake Union, through Ballard and back to the waterfront.

Great way to see Seattle. - Darrell was a great tour guide and the bike tour was informative and good exercise. I highly recommend this bike tour. The bikes are quality bikes with different gears for the slightly hilly parts of the tour, and a good helmet was provided. "Safety First" was Darrell's motto.

The locks was awesome - Our flight was delayed and I was able to jump on the emerald city tour non electric bike tour my second tour. I did an electric bike tour with my wife first time but she wanted to sleep in. So I choose the regular city bike tour and I am so glad I did. We went to some other parts of the city I hadn't seen yet. My favorite was the locks in Ballard. Seattle is so cool so many things to see and the bike is the best way. There was a few hills on the tour some biked some walked it didn't effect the pace at all. Well thought out bike route.

Emerald City Experience - Wonderful ride through the city. Rina was engaging & accommodating. We enjoyed the ride through neighborhoods and would recommend more of that in the ride rather than some industrial … not so scenic parts of the city.

Splendid way to experience the beauty of Seattle - Fabulous bike tour around Seattle. Thank you Ivy for leading such a pleasant journey. Tour was well paced—not too slow, but not so fast there wasn’t time for photos or bathroom stops. Route was great. Bikes could be somewhat better. would not be a fun tour on a rainy or wet day bit really happy we did it. Look forward to trying the ebike version at some point
