5.00Had so much fun biking 17-mile drive! Can’t leave Monterey/Carmel without experiencing this tour. Check-in was easy, and I was set up with an e-bike per my preference. I felt confident and super safe riding. Tour guide, Flo, is a rockstar, and I’m a fan! Friendly, welcoming, professional, and informative.

5.00We lucked out with a gorgeous 70 degree, sunny day in late January, which we found out to be pretty exceptional weather wise🤗. But our luckiest break was getting Zane, as our guide. He was very nice, very accommodating and very passionate about California’s biology, taking time to teach us about the local wild life. It was an exceptional and memorable day. Thx, Zane👍🏼
