We are from Hong Kong, first time in Melbourne. My 8 year old son and I joined the group e-bike group. Turns out it was only we two so it became like private tour. We used a big bigger bike with seat at back for son to sit on. Our guide Al was very nice, well informed and educating us with lots of Melbourne history and stories, and great smiles and energy. Blessed with great weather when forecast said whole week of rain. Sturdy bike.
Great day with Al. Informative, personable, sightseeing was thoughtful. Great history stories. Highly recommended.
We loved our 4 hour easy peddle-assist bike tour around the CBD and surrounding attractions. It's so easy on a bike to cover huge distances - the bikes worked really well - and we felt super safe following our awesome guide, Marcus, around. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and was a local Melbourne boy (born and raised) so it was great to have that local touch. After the tour, and because we then felt confident on the bikes and in the traffic - we took the bikes down to Melbourne Beach, St Kilda and Brighton beach for a quick dip. Hiring bikes and having a tour to give you confidence was the best thing we could have done! Such a highlight of our trip!
It was a great tour, Ale did an amazing Job! The bikes are very easy to use! I would recommend booking this tour the first day you are in Melbourne if you have no idea what to do or see! Makes it so much easier. I definitely recommend!
Bit of an explore. Bit of history. Bit of culture. Bit of exercise. Bit of lunch. All in a lot of fun. The teenager reckons it was the highlight of our weekend. I’d agree.
For us getting there was easy from the Cruise Terminal via tram. We loved the ride bikes easy and sized well to us. Guide Al. terrific we had a ball, probably just need couple extra minutes to take a few photos. Lovely Cafe in Fitzroy great. Highly recommended.
It was a great way to see the city. Marcus was awesome and full of information about the city. We saw some great sights that I don't think we would have seen from a bus tour.
This tour was great. Perfect way to see the city and learn about the city of Melbourne. Guide was fantastic
Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Visited several major historic locations and numerous key locations in Melbourne.
My son and I did this tour and loved it! Such a great way to see so much of the city. Al was our guide and he was awesome! Highly recommend this tour!
