What an amazing day with Linda as our guide. She was such a pleasure to be with and so knowledgeable about all the sights around Sydney. We felt like we got a great overview of the city layout and she even gave us suggestions for our afternoon itinerary after the bike ride. We made several stops for pictures and had her homemade banana bread for a snack which was delicious❤️. The bikes were comfortable and E-bike is the way to go in this hilly city. Highly recommend this company for anyone visiting Sydney. I only wish we would have done it on day one instead of day three.

Details to find the bike hire centre were nice and clear. Bikes were all in very good condition and all checked and tested by users before setting off. Clear instructions by the owner/guides on bike controls and how the tour worked were reassuring and enabled us all to enjoy the tour without concern.

Great tour to get your bearings and getting settled into Sydney. While our tour was heavily rained on and we couldn’t see all the beautiful views, it was still an awesome way to start my adventure and making notes of where I would like to spend more time in my travels.

There is no better way to see a city then by bike and we have been on many of them throughout our travels. This being said, The Sydney Harbor Bike Tour given by Grant and Lisa (the proprietors) was by far the best!!

We had a great time and Grant and Linda are lovely people.
