We went on the tour as a family (with a teenager) and we had not been on bikes for years so were a little nervous. But Barb, the tour guide, was great. She gave great instruction at the start and gave us a little practice to make sure we were comfortable before leaving for the tour. Barb was brilliant. She went at a good pace for the group to follow, she shared great stories and pictures that she shared with us. The tour went up to Santa Monica pier and beyond, then back down to Venice beach, Venice itself and of course muscle beach. We had a brilliant time, even the teenager enjoyed it! Shock a family activity we all enjoyed together!! Highly recommended and a fantastic way to explore that area. After the ride we walked back up to the pier to check it out more thoroughly.
