Fantastic experience!

5.00Our e-bike experience was led by our tour guide Suzy on a gorgeous day along the California coast - she was informative and chill! She made sure all of us were comfortable on the bikes before we left the shop, and took time to stop at any intersections that might pose a risk to make sure we knew how to proceed safely. She educated us about the local wildlife and sites, and we never felt rushed. Really great experience and five star all the way! Thanks, Suzy!
Fun and fact filled ride

5.00This was a great way to explore the 17 mile coastline. Our tour guide, Zane couldn’t have been more helpful with our small group. He made sure we knew how to use e-bikes before we started off. Provided helmets, gloves if you wanted them, snacks and water and we were off! We meandered along the coast and had a few stops for photo ops while Zane provided us with some interesting facts too. E-bikes are great; pedal all you want or just let the bike do the work for you. I highly recommend this company and Zane!
Best trip we ever booked on Viator
