My bike tour was great. Michael was very informative and lots of fun. It ended up just being me on tour. Michael made sure I was safe but enjoying myself. I would definitely recommend to anyone stopping in Victoria!

Wonderful ride through the city. Mike, our guide, gave history and background at the various stops. Remained watchful regarding our safety. Two and a half hours well spent.

Tour guide and bikes were top notch. I upgraded to an e-bike (first time on e-bike) which worked better for my experience with some of the inclines in the tour and keeping up. The tour route was perfect and we saw and learned a lot about the city. We had so much fun we returned the next day and rented bikes on our own and explored more, My future bike rentals will be e-bikes!

Michael was so entering and wonderful taking us on our tour. Very informative and knowledgeable about Victoria. We are local from Vancouver and still learned things. So happy we picked this tour. Beautiful scenery. We saw deer too!

Fun and very informative! Great way to see some of Victory. Our guide Mike was excellent. Fun and very knowledgeable. We had a group of 7 friends and had a wonderful time.
Vicky_S, Aug 2025
Michael was full of interesting stories during our ride. With the option of regular pedal bikes or e-bikes everyone in our group had a fun day. We saw so much more of the area than we could have covered on our own. The tour is well worth the money!!

We had an amazing time on this bike tour with Michael as our guide. The itinerary is clearly shared when booking, so we knew exactly what we were signing up for, and it was a great way to explore the city. Since we had just arrived and couldn’t check in yet, the team kindly stored our luggage for us; something I confirmed beforehand but still appreciated immensely.
Michael kept the group engaged, upbeat, and moving smoothly, even when dealing with one very difficult participant who seemed determined to have a bad time. In my experience, the tour was well-run, welcoming, and exactly as advertised. If you want a fun, active way to see the city with a knowledgeable guide, I’d highly recommend this tour and I’d ride with Michael again in a heartbeat.

Great itinerary - a mixture of town and country. We really enjoyed the coastal ride and park. Ben was a great guide; he was knowledgeable and personable without getting mired in arcane details.
Gillian_I, Aug 2025
Overpriced in my view. I also think it was a missed opportunity. It starts not far from some cool little areas to explore such as Fisherman's wharf, the Carr house, the Breakwater etc but it ignores all of these and comes downtown, to places easily served by coach tours. No need for bikes except to dodge traffic! Additionally there is the castle that is just a big family home, Beacon Hill and back!
I've done a few bike tours and its the unexpected little places or cool off the beaten track art work I like. It was just a bit standard.
On top of that I was with all Americans and they were clearly being treated much better than I was. They usually tip! Its a sort of racism towards other nationalities and rather a self fulfilling prophecy as if you treat others like second class citizens then they probably don't tip!
I just felt really disappointed. I didn't particularly enjoy it, I felt treated disrespectfully at times and I could have used the time better had I seen the itinerary. Its standards places, nothing quirky or off the beaten track.

Stopped fairly often to hear stories and learn about the area. Good distance for recreational riders like my wife and myself.
Crystal_K, Jun 2025
Great way to see the city and enjoy hearing some of its history and legends. Guide was very informative.
Kristi_P, Jun 2025
Michael was a fantastic tour guide. We saw so much of the city and learned some fun facts and history along the way, but not too much to bore our teenagers. Michael even recommended some fun things to do after our tour.
Melany_K, Jun 2025
Great way to experience many of city highlights and get some exercise. Ben was a terrific guide, very knowledgeable and engaging.
Daniel_B, Jun 2025
What a great way to see this beautiful city! We scored with a warm and sunny day, perfect for cycling around town with Mike as our guide. He was friendly and so informed about the city and provided a fascinating historical narrative over the course of our ride through downtown and out to beautiful neighborhoods and lush parks. The cycles provided were in great condition and allowed for a relatively easy tour around town. Mike gave us great suggestions for places to eat and other spots around town to visit after our tour. Highly recommend hopping onto a water taxi out to Fisherman's Wharf and then West Bay, where you can take the walkway along the Inner Harbor shoreline back to downtown. Be sure to stop at Spinnakers for a drink overlooking the harbor (also Mike's recommendation).
Trista_L, Jun 2025
Well organized friendly tour. Michael was an excellent guide-informative, fun, safe, exciting, and flexible for all riders.
Misty_M, May 2025
Must be in good physical shape! Hills involved. Some history which was nice, not enough stops in front of the buildings. No potty stops FYI
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Very sorry you didn't enjoy your tour - our staff should have recommended an e-bike, which I'm sure would have made your experience more enjoyable -
