The best way to experience Venice Beach! Silvie was an outstanding tour guide and showed us all kind of neat sights! We were here for my daughters 24th birthday and wanted to see the pier, the beach, muscle beach and the canals in Venice California! We loved every minute

Really fun and leisurely bike tour of Santa Monica & Venice. The path was mainly alongside with the ocean, which was beautiful, and it was really flat. We got a good workout, but it was by no means strenuous. We started out in downtown Santa Monica and stopped at places like the Santa Monica pier and boardwalk, Venice boardwalk, Venice canals, Abbot Kinney, Tongva Park, and Santa Monica Blvd., and got some history/anecdotes behind each. We didn't stay too long at any one place — although our guide made it clear he'd be happy to stop if any of us wanted to — but that was fine by us since we just wanted a general feel for the area and its highlights so we could go back after and explore on our own. By that metric, it was a perfect tour. I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a high-level overview of what Santa Monica & Venice have to offer.
