Bike Tour Seattle. 5 star Electric Bike Tour Seattle's waterways
Description
The electric bikes make taking a three hour tour effortlessly. You will ease up the hills of Seattle while smiling. After the tour you will have seen many unique sites, expanded your knowledge of the waterways, the animals of the Sound and the neighborhoods, and you will have had an enjoyable and memorable experience that's truly all about Seattle. The electric bikes allow for close up viewing of the gardens, boat docks and other sites. Your guide is a local. I grew up in Seattle, taught in Seattle schools, I care about the city and the natural settings and continue to build my knowledge of Seattle. The helmets have an intercom system that helps us communicate while riding the bikes. Your safety is a priority, we stick mainly to bike paths and lightly traveled roads. Please check out the reviews on my website. Must be 16 to take the tour. The bikes are only designed for adults. I charge per bike. I do not charge for children riding on the back of the cargo bike.

Itinerary
This is a view spot of the water and mountains. On a clear day you can see the Olympic Mountains, West Point Lighthouse and the ferries crossing the Sound. You can hear the seals barking and watch the cargo and tugboats float by. I tell you all I know about Seattle in 10 minutes and highlight the some of the most charismatic creatures that inhabit our waterways.
The Ballard Locks are Seattle's 3rd most popular attraction. We walk the bikes through the Carl English Botanical Gardens before seeing the boats pass through the locks. The locks opened in 1917 and connects salt water to the fresh water of Lake Washington. It's the busiest lock in the United States and also popular with migrating salmon and the seals, sea lions, eagles, and osprey who come for an easy meal. There's a fish ladder with an underwater viewing gallery.
Seattle 's roots are in the fishing industry and the Fishermen's Terminal is the place to see real live fishermen and fisherwomen, and the Alaskan fishing fleet. 50% of all seafood sold in the United States is associated with this marina. We can ride the electric bikes all the way down the docks and get right up to the boats. I'll tell you how salmon fishing operates and why the Alaskan fishermen spend the off-season in Seattle rather than just stay in Alaska.
Not the Center but Gasworks Park in the Wallingford neighborhood. Favorite place to take pictures and on the 4th of July watch the fireworks. It was a gasification plant, the old machines are still there. There a great view of the city, the Space Needle and I'll point out the Sleepless in Seattle houseboat.

Joe the tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable !! The route he planned highlighted his knowledge of being a 40 year resident of Seattle! Ask for Joe and prepare for a great time !
The e-bike tour was well organized and stopped at the worth seeing spots of Seattle. David was a wonderful guide with lots of interesting information. This is a must do!
This was a great way to see some of the outer neighborhoods of Seattle. Arrived via public bus (about 40 minutes) which was easy to navigate with a $6 all day ticket and their app, plus the owner provided info about the bus too. Joe was a wonderful guide and made sure we were comfortable on the bikes - my first time on an E Bike. Seattle is a great biking city so we covered a lot of area in a safe manner. Highlights were Gasworks Park, Fremont Trolls and Ballard Locks . Joe also gave me a great lunch recommendation that I could walk to and then hop on the D bus back to downtown!
We loved this experience. Our daughter is 7 and was able to ride on the back of the cargo bike. She loved it! We found the location easy to reach via the bus from downtown. Tour was both fun, informative and relaxed. E-bikes were great and the trails were safe.
Very informative with beautiful views. It was our first time on an electric bike. Super fun! You don’t have to pedal at all if you don’t want to.
Very worthwhile experience. Fantastic way to explore the outer suburbs, learn about Seattle’s history and get some fresh air. Would do again. If you’re staying downtown, be sure to catch the bus to the location as it’s cheap and easy.
Wonderful tour, highly recommended. We discovered beautiful and interesting spots with a perfect tour guide.
We had a wonderful 3-hour bike ride with Joe, who showed us around Seattle. The weather was just right, making the day perfect. Joe was both knowledgeable and a lot of fun. He also offers a food tour, which I would definitely recommend if I had more time.
Great tour. Wonderful sites. Outstanding food. Definitely put this e-bike tour on your agenda when visiting Seattle.
Best way to see the city that accommodates all rider’s experience. Guide was wonderfully knowledgeable. The provided helmets have speakers so you can hear the guide’s voice clearly the entire ride.
