Barb was an excellent, friendly guide. She had pictures to accompany her history lessons of the sites we were visiting. We really appreciated the water and snack that went along with our ride!
We had never ridden an e-bike but she made learning all the different styles easy! The e-bikes were so fun and we had great weather. We’ll definitely be doing this again!

The tour guide, Barbara ,was amazing! Very knowledgeable, patient, funny. Riding the bikes for easy and if you the long beach were wonderful.

We had a great experience all around with Barb. She was very personable, knowledgeable, and fun-loving. We made many stops where she educated the family about the history of Santa Monica and Venice Beach. I highly recommend Barb at Pedal or Not Electric Bike Tours. She made our trip to California memorable. Thank you!

Barbara was a great guide who provided an interesting and entertaining tour. She seems to be a staple of the area with passerby waving and greeting her by name.
Response from Host, Oct 2020
Thanks JP, your family group is perfect for this tour: active parents visiting their adult children who have flown the nest and landed in the L.A. area. Many of us don’t play tourist in our own town but when we do, it can be great fun and full of, “I didn’t know that” moments. It was fun for me to meet you and your group. Also, if you ever want a break from your visitors, send them to me for a few hours. I’d be honored to show them this area. Hope to see you around the neighbor I’d be happy to wave and greet you by name too.

Barb was an amazing host and tour guide--she really knows how to give an insiders tour! We brought our teen and she entertained and educated all of us about the great areas of Santa Monica and Venice. Highly recommended!
