We met Barb - our guide - at the designated place and time on our 1st day in that area to discover what it offered. She fitted us for the bikes and then gave us some time to get comfortable on them on a side street. Visited the beaches of Santa Monica and Venice along the way, along with the Venice canals, muscle beach, a well known skate park, graffiti hot spots, Santa Monica pier, some film scene locations and houses owned by the rich and celebrities over the years. Barb carried a photo album and showed us the many before photos of the stops as we traveled. She was very informative and provided us with a history of the area going back 100 years or so. Bikes were very easy to operate and could be switched very easily between electric and pedal mode. We really enjoyed the experience and learned many things about the area. Would recommend the tour if visiting the Santa Monica/Venice areas.
