Canadian exploring San Diego.
I'm a big fan of bike tours, I do one in every new city I travel too. San Diego is very beautiful and the bike tour was a great way to see the city. Our guide was named Kevin and he was great. I recommend doing the bike tour your first day, then you get get a lay of the land, adventure back to the areas you want to see again on foot and try many of the cool spots to eat or shop.

Thank you! We're so glad San Diego lived up to your bike-touring tradition, and that Kevin gave you a great experience exploring the city. Your tip about doing the tour on day one is a great one, it really does help set the stage for the rest of the trip. Hope to see you again on your next travels!

Fun time!
Fantastic! This was a very enjoyable & fun way to explore San Diego. Our guide Brian was amazing! He’s very comfortable traveling on a bike, knows the best routes to rake on a bike & very knowledgeable about the sites we went to! It was our first time in an e-bike & it was so much fun! Easy to learn. Biking without having to worry about the route was just perfect 😊 and the weather couldn’t have been better! Highly recommend this experience and our guide Brian.

A great way to enjoy some of San Diego’s highlights
Fantastic experience! Both Ryan and Raul did a great job in preparing the bikes and giving us instructions, Ryan was our tour guide and showed his some of the highlights of San Diego. Because there was only two of us, we essentially had a private tour. He added some extra stops. The bikes were well maintained and good quality. For a tour of SAN Diego highlights by bike that you can’t do on foot or by car, we highly recommend Unlimited Biking!

We hope to welcome you back to San Diego soon!
