Highlight of the Wine Country!! - My husband and good friends of ours just returned to the wine country for a wonderful bike tour. Our guide Mike was great, very knowledgeable about the area and accommodated our group with some extra stops along the way, including an olive oil tasting and lavender farm. Our friends, who don't bike much recommended we all try the e-bikes. The bikes were very good quality, easy to use, comfortable and could really move when we didn't want to exert ourselves too much. Louise served us a delicious lunch at Beckmen Vineyards - a beautiful family run winery with great local reds. We will definitely be back! Highlight of our vacation!!

Bike Tour was the Highlight of Vacation - My fiance and I enjoyed this wonderful bike tour with Scott. The Olive oil tasting in Los Olivos was great - we even purchased some to take home with us. The lunch at Rideau winery was amazing with great wines and a view of the vines. Definitely the highlight of our trip. Would recommend to anyone looking for some exercise, great food/wine and the views are spectacular!!!

A MUST for seeing this beautiful land - We came up to Solvang for a girls weekend and decided to do a bike tour. Chris was our guide and took us 22 miles, stopping to feed us his wealth of knowledge of the history of the area and fun tidbits. We stopped to eat and wine taste where Cory brought us an amazing meal of salads and risotto. One of our ladies traded in her bike for an E bike and Cory also made that seamless. The winds were so bad on the way back that Cory had already pulled the van over to pick us up…..so thoughtful! We loved every minute of this day! Thank you Chris and Cory for making our girls trip so fun and memorable! We had a blast!

Temper your expectations - If we would have known that only 4 out of our group of 7 would have comfortable, new, well-functioning bikes, we wouldn’t have booked this tour. We had to stop and pick up a bike from another shop because one of the bikes we were given didn’t work at all and we had to swap bikes with one another every so often as a few of the bike seats were so uncomfortable we couldn’t tolerate them for long. A few of the bikes were old, over used, had broken buttons and were noisy, but again, about 1/2 of the group got really nice, comfortable ones. Our tour guide was nice & knowledgeable, however, we were told there should have been two guides for a party our size. So where was the other tour guide? We enjoyed the olive oil & wine. Lunch was very tasty and the scenery was beautiful. Sadly, the lack of quality and uniformity of the bikes really distracted from this experience.

Disappointed - The wine at Rideau and the ride over stopping to see the miniature horses and pumpkin patch were very enjoyable but very Disappointed that for the of money we paid on my wife’s birthday for this excursion we only stopped at 1 vineyard and tasted some olive oil and balsamic vinegar along the way. Chris the tour guide certainly knew his stuff but should have informed us before we started tour that The Lavender farm tour was not available and then the tour company should have replaced it with something else or refunded us some of the money. Transparency is always best.
