Great tour! Our guide gave great insights into the history of the local parks, UW, and the lakes. Loved the e-bikes - very easy to ride the 10 mile tour.
From the shop owner to our guide everyone was very encouraging and focused on our comfort/well-being.
Guide OC -Optimistic Chris explained the bike use clearly, set a good pace for the group, and provided commentary that was informative and entertaining.
The tour experience made us want to explore Madison more and try out more e bike rentals.
Well worth the time and money!
Chris (OC) was a fabulous guide. My husband and I enjoyed the e-bike experience and highly recommend it. Great way to see Madison!!!
The tour was too fast paced for us.
The biking between stops did not allow for sight seeing.
The guide, however, was knowledgeable and personable.

Thank you for your feedback and for joining our tour; we're glad you enjoyed the guide’s knowledge and personality! Our goal is to showcase as much of Madison as possible in the two-hour timeframe, which does require moving efficiently between stops. It's simply not possible to see all of Madison in two hours without a steady pace, and we average 10-12 miles per hour to cover the key landmarks while still providing time for the guides to share their knowledge at each stop. That being said, we understand that pace preferences can vary, and we appreciate your input. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Madison and will visit again.
This is a must do. OC was a fabulous guide. Do this when you first arrive to the city to get the lay of the land. Thanks for a fun and informative morning!
Excellent overview of Madison! I learned a lot about the city and how to get around. Also, super fun way to sightsee. I had never ridden an E-Bike before and the instruction was great, and I picked it up right away. Highly recommend!
Greg was a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Madison and his commentary made the tour more enjoyable.
The E-bikes were easy to use. The tour stops were great. Our guide was knowledgeable about each stop. A great way to see the city and find areas you otherwise might not see.
I happened to be the only one scheduled for the tour this day, so I got a bit of a private tour. It was really good! I wasn’t sure about biking for two hours, but it being an e-bike made it so much easier. I saw so much of the city, and learned a lot. I did it at the start of my trip, so I had tidbits to share others when talking about Madison and even for great food recommendations which I used throughout the trip. My guide was engaging and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend the tour!
Chris was an amazing tour leader for our bike ride last Friday morning. Very informative, very interesting. I would highly recommend the e-bike tour!
Awesome tour! Friendly and knowledgeable guide. E-bikes were so much fun to ride. Saw some great sights.
We've been on walking tours, trolley tours, and duck tours across the country, but this is our first e-bike tour. For two people each 55 plus in age, this was a great way to see so much of what Madison has to offer! Greg did an amazing job showing us every part of the city from the artistic, to the university, stadiums, parks and all of the lakefront areas. He's an amazing ambassador representing all that Madison has to offer, providing additional education and factoids along the way. The bikes are in pristine condition, and offer just the right level of support as we went around the city. I'm in fair shape, but even I could get around without any hesitation with the extra boost from the e-bikes. With reasonable pricing, amazingly competent and friendly guidance, easy booking online, and an overall exhilarating way to see the city, this is a must-do activity for visitors of all ages, and even Madison residence who want a fun day outside.
It was a nice overview of Madison by bike. Chris was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. E-bikes were easy to use.
Came from NL, Canada to do some training at Epic. Had an absolutely amazing time with Optimistic Chris!! Great tour - would highly recommend to anyone who visits the area!!
It was an excellent tour that took me all around the central parts of madison . The e bikes wee fun to ride as they had a throttle function that gave them a bit of a zing.
Doing a e-bike tour of Madison was a very enjoyable experience!! Arietta, our guide, was terrific bringing the city to life using her intimate knowledge of the neighborhoods and history.
E bikes are such a great way to see the city. We’ve done it in many cities but these were some of the nicest bikes. Guide was knowledgeable and gave us great recs for spots to grab drinks/food.
Lovely way to see the city. Takes you to the beautiful highlights of the city and very well explained by the guide.
Just do it!
I highly recommend this E bike tour, the guides were informative, intelligent and fun.
Also seeing Madison in this way was spectacular. Such a beautiful city.
Outstanding tour of the city! Took in a lot in 2 hours, very informative. Many thanks for such an interesting tour of beautiful Madison!
We loved being on the bikes and being able to see the whole city. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and we learned a lot.
Had a great time, the bikes are in excellent condition and the guide was knowledgeable, friendly and fun.
What a fun tour! Great way to entertain friends and family from out of town! Great way to get to know a little about Madison by learning about it at the various stops! Interesting and fun!
