The 6 hour/32 miles bike tour was an awesome way to see so many sights in LA. Our guide Harris was very personable and informative. My 16 year old who started out very apprehensive said if it had not been for Harris he would not have enjoyed the tour as much.

Had an amazing tour with Steven as the guide. Friendly, knowledgable, funny. He was cautious when it came to our safety crossing roads etc. This is absolutely the best way to stay active while learning about and seeing LA. I recommend the LA in a day tour.

We aren't particularly into movie stars and aren't huge cyclists, and the Beverly Hills trip was a wonderful fit. It was an enjoyable way to see the sights and neighborhoods and the guide added fun details. Very thankful that we upgraded to e-assist bikes.
