Itinerary
We'll show you the best that Melbourne has to offer... from the Yarra River with its cruises, heaving barge bars with an Ibitha theme... even little boats you can drive yourself. We'll carry on to some of Melbourne's traditional "sights" like the Shrine of Remembrance, beautiful public gardens, the Melbourne Cricket Ground and spectacular Rod Laver Arena... but we'll also show you the cool local neighborhoods that many tourists never see... the rooftop bars, street art, hidden laneways and more.

We booked this bike tour via Baja bikes and enjoyed the tour very much. Compared to bike tours in other cities around the world this one was a bit more expensive. We paid A$240 for 2 persons. Stefano was our tour guide and we very much enjoyed the tour. We biked a lot and saw a lot. A big plus were the facts Stefano was telling us. Although we've been to some of the places, his knowledge and info was very much appreciated. We always do a bike tour to know the city better and this one didn't not let us down. Next to that we had a few good conversations with Stefano as well as we were the only one on this this. A very nice person and very good tour guide. Don't miss this tour to see more of Melbourne!
Great ride with guide John! Enjoyed it a lot! Nice and easy pace, lots of stops on the way. John doesn’t only tell you the interesting stories of past/modern Melbourne but also shows it. For example: he took us into the state library to have a look at Ned Kelly’s armor and the great dome. Ride is for all fitness levels and ages.
Great tour. John was a great guide. Very knowledgeable. Learned a lot about Melbourne's history and culture.
This Melbourne bike tour was an absolute highlight of our trip. John was fantastic and made it incredibly easy for everyone in our group to enjoy the day, regardless of fitness level. He is knowledgeable, flexible, and has a great sense of humour that kept us entertained throughout the ride.We saw a great many places and learned about things we definitely would have overlooked on our own. It was fascinating to learn about Melbourne’s local history and see how it fits into the larger landscape of Australia. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a fun, informative, and scenic look at the city!
We had a super nice bike ride from Stefano ,he told a lot , nice to hear and also had nice stories against the small children , Lots of infomate very nice
I thought it was a good tour, but there were no kid bikes. The smallest was a small adult bike. Our tour guide, Joyce, was amazing!
Great experience! We always love doing a bike tour when we land in a new city/country, and this tour was one of the best one I’ve done! Bike tours allow you to cover more things and it’s overall a nice activity to get a grasp of the city so I really recommend. John was amazing at explaining fun facts, details and the history of Melbourne. He also advised us on museums, shows, sports things, and other things to do outside of Melbourne, so we were really pleased :)
Melbourne by bike and my guide Stefano are I think one of the best ways to see the city of Melbourne. I got to see so much of the city that I would probably otherwise not have seen. Stefano provided a great explanation of the history and culture of the city of Melbourne. The whole time pointed out all the best sites and also answered all my questions. I also was in Australia last year and did another tour with Melbourne by bike and when I was coming back it was at the top of my list of things I wanted to do! Thank you again to Melbourne by bike and thank you Stefano for a great day!
John is an excellent tourguide, very knowledgeable on Melbourne and its history and its modern time. Great experience👍👍 We would like to recomment him. Good bikes👍E-bikes also available!!
