Great time riding around and learning the history of the city. Scott was very nice and knowledgeable. The winery we went to was super cute and delicious. We had a minor accident and the team responded fast and very helpful. Highly recommend if you are in the area .

Rekaxing morning biking around the Santa Ynez area.

Esmaralda_R, Aug 2025

Relaxing morning biking around Sante Ynez area. Finished by lunch and wine tasting at Rideau vineyard. We were by ourselves as a group with our guide Mike. I believe it is also possible to alternate the experience a bit if you wish to.

Fun day activity

The Company cares about their customers

Edward_K, Jun 2025

The guide was very friendly, pleasant and patient. Beautiful bike ride through beautiful country with breathtaking views. Also, Corey the tour operator, is a very honest guy who genuinely wants his customers to have a great experience for their money. I would highly recommend this company based on this alone since it seems this is a dying philosophy these days.

So fun! Chris was a terrific guide!

AnnMarie_T, Mar 2025

This was such a great way to tour the area and learn a lot in the process. Chris was a wonderful guide!

Very enjoyable experience

Ken_L, Oct 2024

Very nice scenery and we enjoyed the wine and olive oil tasting. It was a very warm day and our guide did an excellent job finding shade and telling us about the area.

Best Birthday surprise ever!!

Lecia_F, Aug 2024

I surprised my partner, Jared with this experience and we had the best time! Scott was our tour guide and he spared no detail on the history of the area and fun facts about the farming. I left with a deep appreciation for this area and all it has to offer. We felt safe, were able to go at a pace that worked for us with the e bikes and enjoyed the delicious olive oil tasting + wine tasting and lunch. It was a relaxing and special day! Going on a weekday was clutch as it was very quiet around town with not too much traffic. Scott and Dorothy were wonderful, we invited them to sit with us during lunch as they have an incredible love story and are both full of joy with easy going natures. 10/10 recommend!

Wonderful tour!

What a great tour! Mike was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw so much and learned all about the area. Lunch and wine tasting were fantastic. We definitely recommend!

Leisurely ride through beautiful country with delightful, knowledgeable guide

Elizabeth_J, Apr 2024

I didn't realize when I booked this that it would be just my husband, me and our wonderful guide, Scott, so that was a great surprise - a private bike ride full of history on a gorgeous day in the Santa Ynez Valley. Scott is lovely, and so knowledgeable about the area and it's history - and, as a bonus, is a huge Civil War history buff, so being from Atlanta, and my husband's family being from VA (and one not-so-distant ancestor having been in Pickett's Charge), we had some fun talking about that. The ride is easy and we had fabulous weather; not too much traffic the day we went. The olive oil tasting was great, and we had a lovely lunch (provided by Scott's lovely wife, Dorothy) at the winery at the end. All around, a very pleasant way to spend the morning. The ride is not strenuous at all, so if you are looking for harder riding, this isn't for you; I'd call it a leisurely ride.

Temper your expectations

Melissa_W, Nov 2023

If we would have known that only 4 out of our group of 7 would have comfortable, new, well-functioning bikes, we wouldn’t have booked this tour. We had to stop and pick up a bike from another shop because one of the bikes we were given didn’t work at all and we had to swap bikes with one another every so often as a few of the bike seats were so uncomfortable we couldn’t tolerate them for long. A few of the bikes were old, over used, had broken buttons and were noisy, but again, about 1/2 of the group got really nice, comfortable ones. Our tour guide was nice & knowledgeable, however, we were told there should have been two guides for a party our size. So where was the other tour guide? We enjoyed the olive oil & wine. Lunch was very tasty and the scenery was beautiful. Sadly, the lack of quality and uniformity of the bikes really distracted from this experience.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hello Melissa. Thank you for your candor comments. I apologize for any inconveniences with the e-bikes. We had another large e-bike tour that day and did our best to accommodate everyone. When we discovered several of our e-bikes we’re not up to par the morning of, we did our best to find a viable solution. Typically, for 8 or more guests we add a second guide. We sometimes add a second guide for shorter routes, if staff is available. But very often one guide can easily manage a group of 7 on these tours.

Fabulous sightseeing

Bethany_P, May 2023

Mike was very helpful explaining how the electric bike works. He showed us some beautiful sights and had a delicious lunch and amazing time at the winery.

Disappointed

David_A, Sep 2022

The wine at Rideau and the ride over stopping to see the miniature horses and pumpkin patch were very enjoyable but very Disappointed that for the of money we paid on my wife’s birthday for this excursion we only stopped at 1 vineyard and tasted some olive oil and balsamic vinegar along the way. Chris the tour guide certainly knew his stuff but should have informed us before we started tour that The Lavender farm tour was not available and then the tour company should have replaced it with something else or refunded us some of the money. Transparency is always best.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Hi David. Sorry that you didn’t enjoy your tour. We only advertise one stop at a winery for this tour due to the safety of biking and drinking wine. Due to the time of the tour we usually only stop at either Olive Oil or Lavender farm. Sounds like Chris tried to visit both to make the day extra special, but this is not typical. I’m sorry they’ were closed. It’s a family operation and there hours often change unexpectedly.
