I found out about this tour after reading about it in our local newspaper and reading the reviews on Trip Advisor...one of the best decisions I made for my trip to Santa Monica! Barb & Stephen were extremely friendly and started out our tour by showing us how to use the electric bike. After a few minutes, everyone in our... More

The six of us had an absolutely fun afternoon, enjoying sights we just would not have seen any other way. Brilliant idea, so glad we did it.

First and foremost, the electric bikes are just great. With zero effort, we were able to zip up and down the beach bike path for long distances just silently passing everybody. You can pedal as much as you want or not at all. I just loved the electric bikes so much that I'm looking into buying one myself. The beach... More

Barb and Stephen are terrific they created a truly memorable experience and worth every penny!! Barb shared her knowledge of the area with tidbits of history and fun facts. All 4 of of us had a...

My wife, daughter and I had the pleasure of taking the three hour bike tour last week. It was the highlight of our five days in Los Angeles. Barb, the tour guide, was both infomative and a pleasure to be with. We covered an amazing amount of ground and with the bikes being electric, any time you get tired, you... More

We spent 3 hours on Feb 10th touring Santa Monica down to Venice Beach and back. Had a great time and felt perfectly safe the whole time. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Great way to see the city, experience an electric bike (so cool! I'm buying one!) and try something new.

We found this by chance through the British Airways website and are so glad we did! We had a lovely morning discovering the sights and stories of Santa Monica and what a wonderful way to see it. Barb was a great guide and had really researched the area well so shared lots of very interesting facts with us. The cycles... More
