Waste of money

Sharlene_N, Mar 2022
Do NOT book this excursion, it is completely misleading. We biked on a very busy road with cars/trucks in both directions most of the duration. The olive oil tasting place was closed which our tour guide was surprised about and did not offer anything else for us to do. The wine tasting place had a man pouring for us that was missing more teeth than he actually had. The bathroom at this tasting room was a portable out house. This was not first class service and lacked in so many ways. Waste of money.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Hello Sharlene. I'm very sorry you didn't enjoy your bike tour. The olive oil tasting room you indicated had changed their hours unexpectedly on Tuesdays. Los Olivos unfortunately doesn't have any sewer, so most public restrooms are the type of upscale portable restroom like the one at the tasting room. The gentlemen at Coquelicot is also the wine maker and well respected in the area. I can't speak to his teeth, but his wine and craft are excellent. if you would like to discuss this further, please contact me directly.

Must do!!!

Mine was amazing!!! He was so kind and friendly. We had great conversation! The tour was so worth it! It’s a lot of manual labor but so worth it when you get to Los Olivos! Mike set up all our visits for us and made sure we got the most out of our tour!! Such a great day!!

Fabulous - a must

Everyone ask for Hans. He is a legend and a super nice guy. Went at the speed we wanted and took us to a lovely Olive pile tasting place highly recommend. The wine tasting was meh, not the tours fault, we went on a Monday and I guess the wine place is slow so had a kid serving who clearly didn’t want to be there and gave no insite to the wine, no info, and really couldn’t be bothered that we were there BUT I’m told that’s not the norm at all. So I would still go again. The bike ride was great, the bikes are easy to use and super light loved all of it would totally do it again :) ASK FOR HANS! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful Bike Tour!
