    (5/5) Bill 3 months ago

    Great Tour to Overview a great city.

    · Best of San Diego E-Bike Tour

    The tour provides a great overview of San Diego - this should be the first thing you do when you arrive in SD to be able to orient yourself within the City. The tour covers a lot of ground and places that and will help you organize your time for the balance of the visit. If this is the only thing you do in SD - you will have seen up close the best that San Diege has to offer in 2.5 hours or so.

    Our guide Zach was great and very knowledgeable.

    Loved our guide Zac. It was my first time on an e-bike. I felt like Superwoman going up the steep hills.

    (5/5) Sunny S. 2 months ago

    biking along the beach!

    · Santa Barbara City Private Bike Tour

    Though you probably don't need a guide for this place, touring it with one is way cool. Santa Barbara and the surrounding area are a very special place on this planet.

    Loops in the Park!

    · Highlights of Central Park New York Bike Tour

    Listen to the music, the regulars...the history. Biking the 6+ mile loop through Central Park is filled with history. I used to live there years ago but took a tour with friends on a work trip and was amazed at what I didn't know was around me. Check it out...way cool.

  • Make the most of Mount Vernon
    (5/5) Rick R. 2 months ago

    very cool ride

    · · Alexandria Mount Vernon Bike & Boat Tour

    I have biked all over the US / world. This ride is a bucket list. if you can bounce out from DC / DCA and ride the path along the Potomac and back all the way. There are some great spots to eat in Alexandria as well.

  • Sip and cycle in Santa Barbara
    (5/5) Tony L. 2 months ago

    tons of good food and booze on this ride

    · Santa Barbara Wine & Beer Bike Tour

    Santa Barbara is glorious pretty much every time of year. It is the riviera of the west. If you haven't been there check it out, have a ride, and enjoy a pint or two!

  • Go through the gears in the Golden Gate Park
    (5/5) Jan V 11 months ago

    A glorious park to ride through

    · San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour

    Not that a sunny day is a requirement but it really makes this place shine. I suggest avoiding this bike ride June - August unless you really like biking in chilly fog and wind. Putting all of those things aside, Golden Gate park is a magical place for a bike ride with a ton of cool history. Make sure you check out Ocean Beach, the tea garden, top of the DeYoung museum tower, Hippy Hill, and I suggest a post ride beer at the Kezar Pub on the east end of Golden Gate Park.

  • Discover the beautiful beaches of Southern California

    · Santa Monica & Venice Beach Bike Tour

    This is a bicycle tour perfect for families, friends or solo travelers. The coast is stunning. The ride is pretty flat so unless you want to splurge don't get an ebike.

  • San Francisco at its most spectacular
    (5/5) Jon H 10 months ago

    Movie views gallore

    · Highlights of San Francisco Bike Tour

    If you guide knows his way around this can be a very flat ride, if not and you are not a regular cyclist I suggest an e-bike. This tour has tons of views that most of us have seen in movies or on television for years. if you have never been to San Francisco this is a great way to see a lot of it in not too much time. I suggest spending as little time as possible in Fishermans Wharf (it's very touristy and not really what San Francisco is all about). For a fantastic local post ride beer check out Zeitgeist in the Mission. (It's in the Mission on Duboce and Valencia if memory serves.). Zeigeist is local institution that is unlike any beer garden you've ever been to.

    Great way to start our vacation in San Diego!

    · Best of San Diego E-Bike Tour

    From the moment we walked up until the tour was over the staff was super friendly and gave us an engaging tour! The e-bikes were an amazing way to experience the city and our guide was super helpful and knowledgeable about the city! He gave us great recommendations for things to do and see. With two teen girls with us you never know how it’s going to go, but the both had a great time! My husband even said that it was the best tour he has ever been on and trust me when I say we have been on a lot of tours all around the IS and abroad!

    The best monuments/memorials in one tour

    · Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour

    I can't think of a better way to see all the monuments/memorials in one trip. Of course you can't drive your car to each of the monuments and park. I suppose you could walk it, but it would be a very long walk. So seeing them by bike is about perfect.

    Despite growing up in DC, I learned a lot on this tour. For instance, I didn't realize that the Washington Monument was at one time the tallest building in the world (later surpassed by the Eiffel Tower). And that it remains the tallest unreinforced stone structure in the world (no steel, just stone). (The wording used by the guide was something about "tallest free standing" structure, but I think he meant "tallest unreinforced structure".)

    Every monument and memorial is a highlight. For me the MLK one was especially cool as I had not seen before. I just thought it was really well done and the guide really described it well. Another highlight was at the end, standing on the steps of the Jefferson memorial, you could see many of the monuments/memorials visited earlier, the White House, the Potomac, National Cathedral and all over DC actually. It's a great view. I had also not seen the FDR memorial before, and while I found it interesting, its message was not quite as easy to grasp as the others, for me at least.

    There were two tour guides in our group of nearly 20 people, and they were knowledgeable about each monument. During each stop, one guide would keep an eye on all the bikes so that we could walk around and explore the monument for 10, 15 or 20 minutes, depending on the monument/memorial. It was really well organized and planned. The guides were friendly and available for questions and also had tools to help adjust the bikes if needed. One guide was wearing a badge on his shirt about how he wanted tips. I didn't know that ahead of time and didn't bring cash, and wouldn't know what they'd expect even if I had. So I kind of wish there was more communication and clarity on this aspect, as it made me wonder if the guides are already paid or if they are volunteers. In any case, the guides were great.

    The bikes were good quality, well maintained, comfortable and easy to ride. I think the bike I rode was a Cannondale, which I understand is a very good quality bike. The starting location was very convenient and Unlimited Biking has a great location in DC. Along the ride there were opportunities for food and bathroom breaks, and it was overall a very easy and educational day tour.

    I recommend this tour if you are interested in an easy and fun way to see all the monuments. This really is the easiest way to do that. I don't recommend this tour if you are looking for lots of exercise on a bike, as there really isn't all that much actual bike riding on this tour. But luckily, we were able to keep riding the bikes afterwards (without the guides) so we rode on to Old Town Alexandria and back, which was a nice ride for both exercise and scenery. Highly recommended.  SHOW MORE

    Great way to see the monuments

    · Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour

    Great bike tour of DC’s most popular monuments. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us ample time to explore the sites at each stop. Not too much biking so perfect for unexperienced riders, looking to learn but not break a sweat. Would recommend!

    A relaxed and fun way to explore the iconic monuments of DC!

    · Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour

    This was a well-organized tour with informative guides. Biking from one monument to the next by bike was a really fun way to get around and see the sites easily and quickly. At each spot, we were given enough time to explore the monuments on foot . Biking was easy and bikes were in good condition. A great experience.
