5.00Great experience. Gorgeous scenery. So much better to see 17 mile drive on a bike than in a car! Fun thing to do with the family. Our tour guide, Flo, was awesome. Dress warm.
Suzy from Big Sur adventures went above and beyond. She is the best guide I could have ever hoped for.

5.00Do it! This was the best part of our trip to Monterey!! The bikes are so fun to ride, the views are amazing, the guide Suzy is amazing! It couldn’t have been better! Suzy made sure we were safe, letting us know where we needed to take it slow, watch for cars not stopping, etc! She also took amazing pics of my husband & I! The history she provided on the area was so interesting too! We debated just renting bikes but the tour by Suzy made it 1000x better & safer!
