Get to know Melbourne with the benefit of an insider’s perspective and 2-wheeled transport. Exploring by bike lets you see more and easily stop at local gems that other tours miss. You also receive a map to take with you that includes additional places to explore on your own after the tour.
After meeting your guide, your tour begins with a safety briefing. You’ll then get fitted with a sturdy city bike, helmet and vest. Take a moment to practice riding your bike in a quiet location before setting off to your first destination. Whenever possible your guide chooses designated bike paths, however it is necessary at times to ride on regular roads. Your guide always makes rider safety a top priority.
Your guide is happy to customise the tour to the interests of the group. The total distance travelled depends on the riding abilities of the participants and the desired itinerary. You’ll enjoy frequent stops to learn about the sights, snap photos and chat with your guide. A casual lunch is included. Tours wrap up with return to the starting location.
Melbourne City:
After meeting your guide in Federation Square, feel the pulse of Melbourne as you pedal through the streets with your knowledgeable guide.
