Lovely day on the Yarra - Was very happy with the experience. Easy to find the boats on the Yarra and our guide was very friendly. It didn’t feel rushed and we were able to take in the ride at an easy pace.

A fun day out! - This is a fantastic activity and highly recommended! You really do get to see Melbourne from a very different angle when cycling on the Yarra River. For those that might be wondering, you won't get we either while you are cycling or while getting off or on (unless your foot slips of the pedal and your foot briefly might go in the water). We went on a day with slight drizzle, which was perfect as I could imagine on a hot day you might cook (if it is sunny. I'd suggest you bring a hat and sunscreen). A fun day and you certainly do not need to be an athlete....it is very easy to pedal.

Stunning views for days!! - An absolutely incredible experience, and one of the highlights of my entire Australia trip. Mark was a highly knowledgeable and gregarious tour guide, who truly made everyone on the tour feel incredibly welcome. The views were absolutely spectacular, Mark took some wonderful photos, and as a bonus I stayed completely dry! Thoroughly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique way to explore Melbourne.

We’d give it 10 stars if we could, so much fun ! - My husband and I did this with the owner/operator Mark. He was very informative and took great care of both of us. We didn’t get wet, which I was curious about beforehand. The bikes were very stable, and easy to pedal. We covered quite a bit of distance. It was extremely relaxing to be out on the water, and a great way to see the city from the river. Mark was prompt and very professional, while still being great fun. We Highly recommend this activity ! Money and time very well spent. Plus, he even took lots of excellent pictures of us with the skyline in the background.

Some of the best views of Melbourne you'll get! - This is such a fun experience! It's a unique way to see and experience Melbourne while getting some fun history lessons, light exercise, plenty of fresh air, and views you just can't get on any other tours. Mark is an exceptional guide and so easy to work with. These are sure to be two of your favorite hours in Melbourne!

a fun thing to do and service is great. - I'm nearly 73 and went with my teen-aged grandson and his friend, and I could manage it. I was tired at the end, but it was very do-able. Melbourne looks great from the river and we enjoyed the ride. Bikes very stable and easy to steer with a few tips from Mark. He was an excellent host and guide and the service all round was excellent, beforehand, during and after. Emailed queries were responded to very promptly and helpfully.

Just go for it! - One of the best days I’ve had during the holidays. We had a great chat along the way and also got some quality workout as well by touring around the Yarra River 🤩
