    The best way to explore the National Mall area

    · Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour

    I took this tour the first day I got to DC, with the idea to see most of the Mall area and visit all its major landmarks, and it completely stood up to my expectations. The bike store is so conveniently located, so the bike pickup was practically on my way downtown. Surprisingly, all bikes were in great condition, almost new.

    The tour program is great, it took us to all the main points of the area, with our knowledgeable guides telling stories about each of the places.

    Since I love long-distance biking, and this tour is leisurely paced, I kept my bike for the entire day, and in the afternoon, I cycled to Alexandria and took lunch there. It's an amazing ride, with a bike path all along the way, which takes you directly to the charming not-to-be-missed old town of Alexandria.

    Unforgettable bike tour in NYC

    · New York Highlights Bike Tour

    I recently went on this bike tour and had an amazing experience! The tour guide was knowledgeable about the city and provided us with interesting information about the history and culture of the places we visited. The route we took was scenic and well-planned, with plenty of stops for photos and rest breaks.

    The bikes provided were in excellent condition and comfortable to ride.

    Overall, I highly recommend New York City Highlights tour to anyone looking for a fun and informative bike tour. It was a great way to explore this immense city and learn about its history.

  • 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.

  • San Francisco at its most spectacular

    · 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.

  • Cruise through Creole NOLA
    (5/5) Roz 10 months ago

    Incredibly interesting tour

    · Creole Neighborhoods Bike Tour New Orleans

    I learned so much about New Orleans by taking this tour, and I'd recommend it to anyone visiting the city - it will help you get the most out of your stay. We cycled from the center to the Mississippi River, where our guide told us all about the founding of the city. We took a varied route through the very exciting neighborhoods that make up NOLA, keeping to cycle paths so we felt safe all the way. Each neighborhood had its own story to tell and our guide was amazing at describing the different histories and cultures; voodoo, Senegalese, Creole etc.

    Halfway through, we stopped at a really nice local cafe for the chance to get a cold drink, and then we carried on to the cemetery. It was fascinating to hear about the different burial methods and to walk around the grand tombs.

    Eric was a really engaging, genuine guide who got to know us and made sure we were hydrated and entertained the whole way.

    I'd fully recommend taking this tour. If you do it early on in your trip to New Orleans, you'll really be set up with an appreciation of its history and culture, and you'll have time to act on your guide's local recommendations for places to eat and see live jazz music.

    Amazing way to see San Diego

    A great way to start off a vacation. We got an overview of San Diego then picked what we wanted to spend more time on another day. Lots of history to learn about on your. We highly recommend. You don’t need to be a bike enthusiast. The bike does all the work.

    An informative and easy way to get around DC

    · Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour

    Bicycling in DC was the best decision I made as a mode of transportation for sightseeing. Joe Brady was a wealth of knowledge and I discovered areas of DC that were unbeknownst to me.

    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.
