Wonderful ride through the city. Rina was engaging & accommodating. We enjoyed the ride through neighborhoods and would recommend more of that in the ride rather than some industrial … not so scenic parts of the city.

Best bike tour we have ever been on (and we try to take a bike tour in every city we visit)! Not only was our tour guide knowledgeable and caring, but she learned everyone’s name and made sure that everyone felt included Three hours of non stop smiling!!!!

Really great bike tour of Seattle

Sarah_B, Sep 2024
Great tour with Darrell who took care of us, gave us plenty of interesting information and made our morning really enjoyable

So fun and a great bike ride. Some hills but nothing too strenuous at all

Renee_K, Sep 2024
Ike was great. It was fun, informative and got to see great sights. I love to bike so this was the perfect tour for me

Fun, Fun ride

Donna_R, Sep 2024
Really enjoyed it all, well maybe not that one hill so much, but made it without getting off and walking. Started out very cloudy and ended up with sunshine to finish the ride. The last part along the Sound was so pretty. Great biking city. Enjoyed having Terea? as our guide.

Touring Seattle the cool way!

Hon_W, Aug 2024
Great tour and lots of interesting facts from our very knowledgeable guide. Fantastic choice! Highly recommend if you want to see the city in a different way!

We’d recommend!

Martha_D, Aug 2024
Our guide - a (retired?) middle school teacher was knowledgeable, warm and fun. We got great exercise and learns lots. We enjoyed the tour so much more than riding around by ourselves. Salmon spanning time was a great time for this tour.

Great intro to Seattle

Autumn_K, Aug 2024
Such a fun, informative tour and a great introduction to Seattle. This was my first activity I did on my trip and I had a fantastic time. The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and kept us moving along and we got to see so much of Seattle and neighborhoods I ended up checking out later. Highly recommend!

Summer fun

Sandrina_B, Jul 2024
We enjoyed actually seeing the Locks in action and experiencing the fish ladder. The bike ride is pretty easy for an experienced rider, but comfortable enough for someone who is not as. We liked our short "quiz" at the end too.

Must do tour

margaret_k, Jul 2024
Great guide, very engaging.Saw a lot in a short period of time… good pace, with stops. Highly recommend.

Fun and Informative

Caroline_M, Jul 2024

Wonderful Seattle Bike tour

Excellent Guide and Tour

Terrah_L, May 2024
Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great ride! We saw many highlights of Seattle The weather was outstanding!

Fun, casual with lots of sightseeing

Hannah_T, Apr 2024
Fun tour to see a lot more of Seattle than you could by foot! Tour guide was great and the tour was mostly along bike paths. We had such great weather that I got a little sunburnt. I was worried we’d have to bike super fast and up lots of hills but it was very chill.

See the neighborhoods of Seattle on 2 wheels

Chris_D, Apr 2024
Eileen and Terae were the perfect hosts. Even though Seattle is hilly, the route was fairly flat, so have no fear. The bikes also have plenty of gears. Don’t delay! Go for it. We saw parts of Seattle we’d never have seen otherwise. Our teenage daughter also loved it.

Wonderful experience. Darryl was very knowledgeable and personable.

Ronald_L, Jan 2024
Seeing and learning about Seattle close up. Different neighborhoods and history of the city. Tour guide (Darryl) was exceptional.

Awesome way to explore the city!

Felix_F, Oct 2023
I had an awesome tour with Monte as the guide! He was very knowledgeable about the city and the path was beautiful with fall colors. This is a highly recommended tour to see the city and is not overly strenuous.

So fun! Best part of our trip so far!

Leslie_W, Oct 2023
We had an absolute blast with Monte on our bike tour today! We visited several neighborhoods in Seattle and enjoyed learning about each one. It was my boyfriend’s first bike tour and he was skeptical going into it, but now he can’t wait to book a bike tour again the next time we visit a new city. Highly recommend booking at the beginning of your stay in Seattle to get a lay of the land and ideas about areas/attractions on which you’d like to spend more time.

Must do in Seattle

paul_m, Sep 2023
