We had a wonderful experience on the bike tour of Santa Monica and Venice! Damien guided us along the boardwalk and through town giving interesting history lessons along the way. We stopped in the neighborhoods, along the canal, and in a local coffee shop. Great way to see LA!

Hubby and 4 teens really enjoyed the bike tour, it was so nice cycling down the beach in the morning, seeing the canals and getting ice cream on Abbot Kinney. The guide also made a great recommendation for lunch after the tour and more stuff to do for the rest of our trip.

Went to LA for two weeks and had a wonderful time. Santa Monica & Venice Beach was so much fun with lots to see and do. I love the beaches, people watching and really enjoy all the activities. A must see. We did the LA tour and then went back on our own to explore some more. Highly recommend you do this.
