Fun Father’s Day Ride

This was a great family friendly tour of Santa Barbara. In a little over two hours, Zach showed us many highlights of this gorgeous city. It was a really fun and relaxing way to incorporate sightseeing, electric biking, (it was my 11yo’s first time on an electric bike and she loved it) and a little outing for my two small dogs all in one. Highly recommend. Would love to come back to do it again!

Operator response

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so glad your family enjoyed the bike tour with Zach and got to experience so many highlights of Santa Barbara in a fun, relaxing way. It’s awesome to hear your 11-year-old loved her first electric bike ride, and we’re happy your pups could join the outing too. We’d love to have you back again anytime!

We told our guide Blaze what we’re interested in seeing and he designed our tour on the spot. The four of us (2 seniors and 2 teens) all loved it. Wonderful 2 hours.

Great way to see the sites.

Great way to see Santa Barbara. The bike shop is a little of the beaten path, but we wound up with a private tour even though we booked the group which was perfect. Guide was personable and knowledgeable and took time to explain everything. Good quality bikes. Highly recommend.
