    Thoroughly enjoyed this bike tour. Matt was a fun, friendly and knowledgeable guide and the tour was a great way to see the highlights of the city and get a sense of direction and feel of where everything was. Very cool lunch spot too.

    We did a 4h bike tour with plenty of things to see around Melbourne. Matt was our tour guide who shared a good piece of history with us, had to deal with the flat tire and still kept the decent mood. However, I feel like the pace of the tour is more suited for the older gen. In my opinion it could be easily crammed in 2.5h with no lunch(which took one hour). Perhaps I could have done more in my own time by just renting a bike, but on the other hand we did hear some interesting stuff I would not have discovered myself. It is on you to decide weather that is worth 80$. Given that I have already forgotten 50% of it (did the tour 2 days ago), and felt like I have wasted a lot of time, I would recommend renting a bike and saving 50$. Although it might have to do with the insurance, the value for money of the bike tour is definitely overestimated.

    My family, including two teens, really enjoyed this experience as led by our knowledgeable tour guide, Freddie. In short, you bike to different points of interest where some historical or cultural information will be provided. The biking is not strenuous and is actually quite easy.
    What to bring: We brought our camera (smartphone), credit card, Sun glasses, and water bottle in a hiking day pack. Helmets and bikes are provided.
    The bikes and biking: Are of good quality. You will have to know how to ride a bike, but if it’s been a few years, they have you take a test spin through an uncrowded park first. You will need to bike down streets, cross streets, bike through crowds, go up and down some gentle-ish slopes, take some sharp turns, and navigate some narrow areas. This all sounds much scarier than it is, and was easily managed if you just listen to the tour guide.
    Bathrooms: The is a locked bathroom near their shop that you can get a key from them, or at the restaurant stop.
    Restaurant: Food is very good, but I’d consider it a light meal unless you get multiple items. I’d definitely eat breakfast before coming.
    Overall: We really enjoyed the experience and I’d recommend it as a great was to see Melbourne and hear some of the interesting stories around points of interest.

    Freddie our guide was so great and so funny. One lady got a flat tire and he immediately made her feel ok about it and changed her tire and we were off again. The trail was easy and very informative. We stopped for a bite to eat and it was delicious. I definitely recommend this to get acquainted with the city.

    My chain fell off midway and I had to push my bike half an hour to the place as the tour guide left me. I was not offered compensation.

    We had a great day exploring the city by bike! It was a perfect mix of history and riding. It was nice that they supplied sunscreen and the lunch spot was fantastic!

    Matt was our guide. He was informative and very watchful of the riders in our group. We did
    Not realize that we would be riding through crowded sidewalks and crossing many very busy intersections. In some cases it was a question of whether or not we were going to have a collision with a pedestrian. When we were
    In lovely areas like the Botanical Gardens or quiet neighborhoods, the ride was lovely. But I did think there would be more stopping along the tour. On the whole, we were pleased with our guide and the quality of the bikes but felt the tour itself was a bit too dangerous.

  8. Jane_D

    Matt was a great tour guide, super interesting. We covered a lot of the city which is very easy to cycle and beautiful. We stopped in a great lunch spot in Fitzroy altogether a great experience.

  11. MELVIN_M

    Experience guide and riding at a leisurely pace seeing a lot of the sights of the city in a small group on the extensive cycle paths of the city.

    Fun ride through Melbourne. Matt included a lot of history with a humorous delivery. We took the free tram from the cruise port and the bike shop was easy to find. There were a few minor hills that the 3 speeds bikes could handle. Some in our group rented ebikes.

  13. Ciaran_O

    Freddie is a good guide and answers all your questions about Melbourne with a bit of wit thrown in for good measure!
    The lunch stop was in a super place on the route.

  14. Brid_M

  15. Kate_F

    Guides knowledge and wit it was a miserable day wet and cold but that didn’t matter.
    Stopped for coffee and a good chat too

  16. Lorraine_B

    What a great way to get an overview of the city. We saw just about everything on our list – gardens, buildings, laneways, sports centers, etc – exteriors only, but still very nice.

  17. ting_w

    Freddy is a funny and great tour ride guide. We got to visit various places in the city. We enjoyed this tour immensely!

  18. Kylie_W

    Freddy was amazing, the tour is a must do and the lunch stop is well worth it. All fitness levels, bring the kids too!

  19. Jermaine_W

    I was in Melbourne for business and only had a day to see the city.
    This was an excellent tour and very informative.
    Saw much more of the city than if I’d just have ventured out independently. Our guide was very knowledgeable on Melbourne’s history.
    Would highly recommend.

  20. Catherine_G

    Highly recommend this tour.
