5.00My husband and I did the guided tour with Zane as our guide. Zane was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, sea animals and the area. He added so much detail to our experience. The bikes worked great and were easy to use. We want to go back and do this again some day.

5.00Our tour guide Jack was wonderful. I was nervous about riding and he was very patient. The tour was informative and fun, it was nice to stop at the Lodge at Pebble Beach to take some pictures before heading back.

5.00Such a fun experience! The ride was so beautiful and the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. This was definitely the highlight our our trip. It was my husband and I, our two kids (13 and 10), my sister who joined us and even our dog. Everyone had a blast. This was my first time riding an E-bike and it was great that the guide did a quick practice run inside the building before we ventured out in the busy streets. The guide even asked if we wanted to stop for coffee/hot cocoa (which is course we did because it was quite cold) and we had a delicious coffee at a cute little coffee shop in town on the way back. Thank you Victor for the fun afternoon.
Great experience. Zane...

5.00This bike tour was amazing. We did the 3-hour intermediate level, and loved every second. It really isn't so hard, and there are stops along the way if you're worried about the runtime. Zane was such a fun, knowledgable tour guide. The scenery is beautiful, better on a bike than in the car! You'll be so glad you did it!
