Amazing! We were able to truly experience Seattle in the most intimate and personal way! The guide was patient, informative, and engaging and we loved it! Thank you for a creating a great experience!
Fantastic bike tour through Seattle with great history and explanation of the city. Also the bonus of a little geocache side adventure!!
Brisk morning ride through downtown and many of Seattle's water edges, including seeing seals and herons. Good pace, friendly accommodating guide.
Rina led our small group on a pleasant and informative trip to some Seattle highlights on nice (non-e) bikes. We saw a nice variety of sights. We were on dedicated bike paths on almost the entire tour. It felt very safe. I recommend this tour! I found it a little tricky to find the group as the sign wasn't out, and it wasn't clear where to go around the building. But I called the number and found the group without too much trouble. We had interesting stops from the Seattle Center to the bottom of Lake Union, through Ballard and back to the waterfront.
Tour guide (can’t remember her name ) was very knowledgeable about Seattle and ran a safe and pleasant excursion. She was very polite to pedestrians.
Fun!!!! Super Informative tour, you will get a great sence of Seattle neighborhoods, culture, event venues, parks and more!
Daryl was great! Very knowledgeable and catered to the different levels of cycling ability. Was a wealth of information about Seattle and the surrounding area. Definitely recommend for anyone that knows how to ride a bike.
Darrell was a great tour guide and the bike tour was informative and good exercise. I highly recommend this bike tour. The bikes are quality bikes with different gears for the slightly hilly parts of the tour, and a good helmet was provided. "Safety First" was Darrell's motto.
Our flight was delayed and I was able to jump on the emerald city tour non electric bike tour my second tour. I did an electric bike tour with my wife first time but she wanted to sleep in. So I choose the regular city bike tour and I am so glad I did. We went to some other parts of the city I hadn't seen yet. My favorite was the locks in Ballard. Seattle is so cool so many things to see and the bike is the best way. There was a few hills on the tour some biked some walked it didn't effect the pace at all. Well thought out bike route.
Wonderful ride through the city. Rina was engaging & accommodating. We enjoyed the ride through neighborhoods and would recommend more of that in the ride rather than some industrial … not so scenic parts of the city.
