Highly recommend “Pedal or Not Electric Bike Tours“ tour of Santa Monica & Venice Beach. Our guide was deeply knowledgeable about the history of the area, very personable and engaging, and he definitely made this one of the highlights of our trip to LA. Also the cool ocean breezes blowing in off the beach are every so lovely. Definitely do this if your in the area!!!
We had never been on ebikes before and found it very easy. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The starting point is a little store on a side street with meter parking. There is a little riding on streets, especially through the venice canals. We were very lucky, nobody else signed up so our family had a private tour. Would definitely do it again.
Wonderful bike tour with Barbara! She is a Santa Monica local with lots of great knowledge and information. My Son and I had loads of fun and we highly recommend doing this tour.
Steph was a great tour hide. We enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to someone unfamiliar with this area.
I’m staying only a short time in Los Angeles/Santa Monica, and Barb’s e-bike tour was the perfect way to discover the main spots along the beaches of Santa Monica and Venice. She brings the places to life with stories and anecdotes, using photos she carries with her during the tour. Barb is very attentive to what you like (or don’t like) and takes the time to photograph you at all the must-see locations. Thank you, Barb, for this special experience that will remain one of my favorite memories of Los Angeles.
Barb was great! Lots of cool info about the area and riding an e-bike for the first time was explained well and successful. Great way to spend a long layover. Thanks!!
My best friend and I signed up for this tour and had an absolute blast. It honestly became one of those core memory kind of days that we’ll talk about forever. The bikes were great, Barb was a phenomenal tour guide, and seeing the city from the seat of a bike felt like the absolute best way to experience it. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better day. The meeting/ending point is also in the perfect location... we grabbed coffee and breakfast beforehand, then walked to lunch and drinks after the tour. Everything was super easy and walkable. I can’t recommend this experience enough! Thank you Barb for all of the great photos you took of us too. So fun!
Barb was a fun tour guide. We enjoyed our time hearing interesting stories about Venice Beach and Santa Monica.
I loved this tour! It was my two teen boys and my husband and me. We are actually locals but have decided to pretend to be tourists in our own town and this has been my favorite outing yet. This was for Mother’s Day and it was a fun way to spend the day. Easy to pick up how to ride the e-bike. Thank you!!!
Excellent, and very good care
