The best tour in York - I absolutely recommend this tour to everyone. Me & my wife both loved our ebike tour of this lovely city, we covered so much ground & saw far more than you can cover on foot.
Andy, our guide was superb, very knowledgeable & very friendly, he is a real nice guy.

The York e-bike tour with Andy and Jim is the best way to get to know York. I recommend it - We did the family electric bike tour of York with Andy and Jim. It is very good, they take you along the riverbank and the main attractions of York, they explain everything about the history of York in a fun and didactic way. I recommend this tour is the.best way to get to know York.

Nervous cyclist - I hadn’t ridden in a while and never on an electric bike. They were incredibly easy to use had a comfortable sitting position and saddle.
There were 5 of us and 2 guides , who helped us set up the bikes and stayed with us one at the back and “The Viking” in front .
It was very informative enjoyable tour of York on a very very busy Saturday.
I felt safe on the bike and along the way of the 2 hour tour ,
I would thoroughly recommend this tour .

A must do if you are visiting York - I don’t usually write reviews but feel compelled to with this first class experience. Andy was absolutely fantastic and even though we have visited York before, learnt so many new interesting things around the City. We always felt completely safe when occasionally on roads but most of the tour was on cycle paths. Plenty of stops and photo opportunities. If you visit York this is a must do tour. Thanks again Andy.

Fun, informative, safe! - Tour was an amazing (and scenic) overview of the city! Andy is fun and knowledgeable in the history of York. The tour did not feel rushed at all. I was able to enjoy the stops, ask questions, as well as take all the pics I wanted. I also felt very safe navigating the roads with Andy leading the way! 100% recommend and would book again! Wish I could experience this in every city!

Excellent and easy. - Andy and Jim were very knowledgeable and made this tour very fun. They took the time to explain all and entertain our crazy questions. This was my first experience with a bike tour and they made it where I am going to do these bike tours in every city to which I travel. Loved it. They were super friendly and very accomodating.
