Really fun way to see Santa Monica and Venice - This was my second booking with this bike tour company. I booked 6 years ago with one son when visiting LA and again this year with my youngest son (17). The tour was wonderful, the bikes easy to use, and Barb, the tour guide, was a fountain of information!

Just Do It! - This is a 'must do' on any visit to Santa Monica. It hits all the high points- the Pier, Muscle Beach, skate park and of course Venice Canals. Barb's provided a detailed introduction to the ebikes and extensive focus on safety. If or when we visit the area again this adventure will be on our short list of must do things.

We saw Nicholas Cage acting on Venice Beach - What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon and Barb was the best guide with so much local history, pop culture and history. Being a curious solo traveler, I loved the rare opportunity to have a 1:1 tour and could stop whenever something peaked my attention or for a photo. Our timing was one cue to see Nicholas Cage acting in Venice Beach. Loved watching the skaters and taking in the vibes of both Santa Monica and Venice Beach and Canals. Will be recommending this to all my friends!
