Learning made fun - Our tour guide Ben was great! We were given our bikes for the afternoon, stopped at several points of interest, and learned some great history of Victoria. We are convinced that we received better local history information on the bike tour than we would have had we taken the hop on bus. Plus we felt good about exercising while learning. We had electric assisted bikes and we weren’t sweaty messes at the end. Great tour!

Fun experience. Breathtaking views! - We had a great time renting bikes from the pedaler! We ended up renting for 4 hours, and could’ve gone for longer! Thanks so much for a great experience.
