3-Hour E-Bike Sightseeing and Breweries Tour in Roanoke
Description
The Views & Brews electric bike adventure packs in sweeping Blue Ridge mountain views and 3 brewery tasting stops along a fun but safe course that winds from town to mountain and back again. After launching from the RMA shop at 2pm, you'll pass through neighborhoods and village centers before crossing the river into downtown Roanoke. In addition to tracing the Roanoke River and Mill Mountain greenway trails, you'll move through the central city and even enjoy a spin across the mountain on a fun (but easy!) gravel trail. Safety is our top priority, so this activity is designed to include ample instruction as we build your skills on the e-bike. If you are unsure about participation, or feel you may need additional instruction before participating, please just reach out to discuss further. This is not the activity to choose if you aren't comfortable handling a bike. We recommend renting an e-bike for riding on the greenway for guests who aren't comfortable on a bike.

Itinerary
We will ride along the scenic Roanoke River Greenway that follows the Roanoke River. This flat, bike-friendly path will give us a great warmup to get used to our e-bikes.
We will bike up to the start of the old road up to Mill Mountain. This gives us the best view of the Roanoke Valley.
Great local brewery. Great local brewery! We will sample some of their great beers at the base of Mill Mountain and along the Roanoke River. Their patio is a great place to take our first pit stop before we make our way downtown.
Great brewery, great vibes, great ambience. Golden Cactus: We love to stop here to sit amongst the hundreds of cactus and plants that sets the vibe at this brewery. Play foosball or order a quick bite to eat from the adjacent Food Hut.

This was I and my wife’s first time on an e-bike. It was a quick learning curve and we both had a great ride and a few great beer samples. Our guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It was a fun way to get introduced to Roanoke.
We couldn't of had better weather for our ebike tour! It was a wonderful experience along a paved greenway & then throughout the quaint town of Roanoke, Both of our guides were great:} Go book this tour!
Very friendly and helpful with both the bicycles and the trip
Highly recommend! Our guides Charity and Cody were awesome!! We enjoyed touring the town and stopping at a few breweries for a sample. Would definitely do this again!
Thanks for riding with us, it was great to meet your group!
Might've been fun. Didn't get to go. Online system allowed booking, but waited several days for confirmation and got none. When I checked in with them, they claimed that because it was for the "day before a holiday" they didn't have staff and could not do the tour. I get it that staffing is difficult these days. But then don't allow your systems to gather bookings for days you know you can't fulfill. And more importantly, when a mistake like this happens, "proactively" reach out to your prospective customer (don't force them to come to you), own up to the mistake, and apologize. Simple best practices for any business. We wish these guys luck with their business, they need it.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced with your booking. We’ve since reviewed our booking system and scheduling processes to help ensure that unavailable dates are clearly indicated. As we explained, we were in communication with our staff about your request due to the proximity to the holiday. Again, we apologize that we gave you the option to request a tour that day, and that we were not more prompt getting back to you. Thank you very much for sharing your feedback.
We had a great time on our tour—wonderful trip hostess/guide! My Hubby and I were both new to e-bikes and found them easy and fun to use! Just enough sight seeing paired with small eclectic brewerys.
Beautiful scenery. Great host. Explained the e bikes and the terrain very well. Breweries offered a very diverse selection
Was so much fun! This was my first time on the e-bike and was easy to get used to. There is a basket on the bike so you can bring a water bottle and buy cool tshirts at the breweries.
We were 3 couples in our 60's, sisters and brothers-in-law. What a great time we had. Great guides, Sean & Charity, we're always helpful and informative. None of us had driven an e-bike before, and after the ride we were experts. The beer stops were perfect and alot of fun!
We had a great time! So glad we found this company. Very friendly, professional and they made sure to keep everyone safe. Really enjoyed it.
