About
Bonza Bike Tours was founded in 2004 to create a unique experience in Sydney. Before we came around, there was no way to see all that Sydney has to offer without killing your feet or being stuck behind the window of a bus. We focus on creating a fun environment where you can become part of the active lifestyle that Sydney is famous for, while having a few laughs with fellow travelers. We look forward to seeing you in Sydney – and Melbourne, too!

We had a great bike ride. Stuart was a warm, friendly and knowledgeable guide. The bikes were well maintained and we got to see things we never would have seen in the city. We highly recommend Bonza as a way to explore the city with a guide, meet interesting people, have a great time with locals and get a little exercise!

I hired two bikes for the day. The booking process was simple and they were quick to respond to my questions via email. The staff were friendly and helpful with lots of suggestions as to where we could cycle, and explaining the various different levels of bike lanes on the roads. The bikes were good quality and well maintained. I would highly recommend this company if you wanted to explore Sydney on bikes independently. The tours looked pretty good as well but we wanted to just go wandering. Excellent fun!!

Great tour, seen loads of Sydney in a 4 hour get moving classic tour. We had Rin our expert guide explain all the sites and we seemed to cover miles and miles.
Weather wise we were lucky with 28 deg and sunshine so the trip was first class and there was loads to see and learn about,
The highlight was up on the bridge looking out over the bay.
The lowlight was the climb up to that level but there is an option of an ebike which would have made life a lot easier. In saying that we are 60 + and managed fine.
Give it a go.... you won't regret it.
Regards Bert

We hired bikes through Bonza on our recent trip to Sydney. We have a 10yr and 12yr old. The process was so easy and awesome value for money. Matthew was so helpful and gave us great advice on where we should go and created a fantastic route for us. Best way to see Sydney!! Riding over the Sydney Harbour Bridge was the best experience ever and seeing the sites all the way to Bondi! After a long day of riding you can take your bikes back on the Ferry and enjoy the scenery!! Highly recommend!!

We had Rin as our guide and she was excellent - very engaging and informative. The perfect way to see the fantastic sights of our beautiful city and learn a bit of history too. A must do for both tourists and locals. Would have loved to have more time relaxing at the Lord Nelson but that’s for another day. I’ll be recommending this 4 hour tour to friends and family.

We did the 2 1/2 hour bike tour with Riley. It was the perfect length and pace. We covered about 6 miles of the city and learned a lot. We had to ride on the left side!!! And sometimes through a lot of pedestrian traffic but Riley got us through no problem. Also loved her recommendations.

Did a short bike tour while on our Disney adventure, and it was great. Lots of stops to catch your breath and hear about the sites along the way. My daughter had a problem with her bike, and they called the shop and ran another one out to us in just a couple minutes. This is a great way to see the city if you are short on time.

Hey Guys
Glad to see we could entertain and educate you for your Disney trip here in Sydney. Unfortunately bikes do have issues from time to time and we are very grateful of your understanding nature in the situation. Hope the rest of your Disney Tour was amazing.
Cheers

Whoever invented this concept of touring on bike was a genius.
I have been to somewhere between 40 - 50 countries on 6 continents. I have grown tired of tour busses, excursions, walking tours, wasting time looking at monuments, statues, sculptures, fountains, squares, museums, galleries, etc. Most of these seem the same at this point and usually turn into a big production.
This was my first bike tour of a major city. The main things I liked were:
- Did not have to wait for or be crammed in a bus, metro, ferry, train, taxi or rent-a-car.
- Burned a ton of calories, got a great work-out in and enjoyed the sun.
- Saw all the attractions in 4 hours; normally this would take 5 days (by my estimation).
- Allowed me to get a feel for the city and decide which attractions to return to later.
- Was able to rent a bike from Bonza (to ride to Bondi Beach) for a discounted rate.
- After the tour, I was shown (on a map) a bunch of cool LOCAL (read not touristy) places to go by the tour guide.

These are great bike tours. I took the Bonza Bike Tours Sydney Classic Tour and the Manly Beach tour. Both were excellent. The Sydney Classics ride was just as you would expect – the highlights of Sydney. Our guide was fun and funny and gave us a great view of the city – and views of the city and beyond for your social media feed!The real highlight was the ride on the Harbour Bridge – much better than the walk! This is special and beyond expectations! We also visited an old Sydney Pub (British style) with its mix of Australian beer and non-alcoholic drinks and was an amazing stop on a great tour.
The Manly Beach tour was unexpected in all ways. The ferry ride to Manly Beach was beautiful and the beach itself is a great contrast to Bondi – local, unpretentious and laid back. The real highlight of the ride was in the hills above the beach. There was some real riding, with moderate hills (fund and challenging!) – and indigenous wildlife, great vistas and beautiful roads. This is a great company, with great friendly guides, and a whole lot of fun! The best way to see Sydney.

ho visto che chiudete alle 5p.m se qualcuno avesse bisogno di fare un noleggio dalle 5.30 pm 6 pm di un giorno alle 2pm del giorno successivo, ci sarebbe modo di organizzare un ritiro delle bici?

È possibile fare un tour con guida in italiano?

Hi FlavioG84,
Thank you for your enquiry.
At this stage all out tours are in English.
Our guides are very patient and happy to repeat anything if you do not understand the first time it is explained. We have many people who's first language is NOT english who thoroughly enjoy our tours, as often it is more about ecploring the sights and sounds in a safe environment that over shines the 'guided tour' & information of the tours.
Cheers,

Hi Geraldine,
Apologies for the late reply.
We have three options for kids. These consist of a Kiddie Carrier, Trail Along attachment and a baby seat. If they are old enough and have the ability to ride, then we can also provide you with their own kids bikes. Between these four options, we should be able to cater for any age child.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers,
Matt Rose

Do you have the type of baby chair that's mounted on the bike instead of the pull along tandem/carrier?

Hope everyone enjoyed their trips, I was wondering if Sydney is a busy city traffic wise, do you ride on the sidewalks or the roads. Also if we were to get tired could we peel off and return to the shop or is the tour like a loop that once you get to a certain point you may as well finish, distance being the same. We're booking for Feb. 2016 so I'm guessing kinda warm.

Hey Tazntom
Thanks for your question. Our tours follow carefully planned routes in which we ride in the street a minimal amount of the time - instead we prefer to take you through parks, harbour fronts, and on large sidewalks if necessary. Additionally, we've picked the least congested streets and easiest paths. You won't have to worry about traffic when riding with us.
This is a slow paced ride with multiple stops for photos and talks from the guide. These are a great opportunity to relax while listening to the history of Sydney. Our Classic Tour is the most popular with a pub stop in the middle. This does a giant loop of the city and there does become a point where it is easier to finish the tour. The two hills on this tour happen at the start, so once those are out of the way you will find that the tour remains mostly flat for the remainder. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions please inform your guide before you leave so they can make the tour as safe as possible for you.
It is summer here in February so you will find the temperature will range from 25 - 31 Degrees Celsius. I would recommend wearing some light easy clothing and we also have bottles of water for $2. There are multiple locations throughout the tour where you can fill up your bottle.
If you have any further questions please feel free to ask, otherwise we look forward to seeing you in February 2016.
Cheers,
Matt Rose
