Even in a torrential downpour, it was fantastic! - We visited Bisbee on a rare cold & rainy day and continued with our e-bike tour anyhow. Carie was fantastic and catered the tour to our personal interests. She had great information and suggestions for things to do! We were absolutely drenched by the end, head to toe, but no complaints from any member of our family. The tour was the best way to see Bisbee!

Kickstart your Bisbee adventure with B Active E-bike Tours—you won’t regret it! - Our guide, Carrie, was the perfect mix of knowledgeable and welcoming, giving us a fantastic one-hour guided intro to Bisbee’s winding streets, historic spots, and hidden gems. The second hour of self-guided exploration gave us the freedom to roam at our own pace and revisit anything that caught our eye.
The e-bikes? Total game-changers. Conquering Bisbee’s legendary hills felt effortless (and honestly, kind of fun) with the electric assist—no sweat, all smiles.
Starting our trip with this tour completely leveled up our weekend. It helped us get oriented, discover must-visit eateries, unique shops, local galleries, and gave us a feel for the town’s quirky charm right from the start.
If you want to explore Bisbee like a local—with the breeze in your face and no uphill battles—B Active is the way to roll.

Big, Bold and Beautiful Bisbee! - Can't think of a better way to see Bisbee and learn its history! Carrie was an awesome guide who spent time acclimating us to the e-bike. She was friendly, patient and passionate about her town! (Carrie also makes a delicious smoothie which we purchased in the shop prior to our adventure.) She took us around the streets of Bisbee and pointed out the highlights and then for the last hour we took the bikes on our own and went on a fantastic ride that Carrie recommended up to the top of a road which looked over the beauty of this small Arizona gem of a town. Don't miss this excursion! The highlight of our trip to Tucson:)

A Bisbee history lesson that will make you say, “WOW!” - We learned so much about the FASCINATING history of Bisbee through our guide and well educated historian, John. It was the first activity we did upon our Bisbee arrival and it was the perfect way to start our stay because we had a greater appreciation and understanding of the city throughout our stay. We also had a blast cruising around the city on our bikes on our own during the 2nd hour of the tour. We HIGHLY recommend this tour!

Guided e-bike tour awesome - We did the guided e-bike city tour through B Active and our guide John was excellent. John was very passionate and obviously knowledgeable about this amazing city and its history. The e-bike is the best way to see Bisbee as it is very hilly and a difficult place to walk around let alone ride a non motorized bicycle. This is the perfect way to get your bearings in town, learn some history, and then decide where you might want to spend more time. The hour of free time after the tour portion lets you explore more of the city on your own which was fun.

Awesome time - Here’s a draft for your review:
We had an amazing time on our e-bike tour with B Active in Bisbee! This was our first experience with e-bikes, and John, our tour guide, made sure we felt comfortable and confident before starting the ride. The bikes were such a blast to use—we’re already looking forward to doing it again!
John is an incredible storyteller and shared so much fascinating history and local insight about Bisbee. He set a relaxed pace and never made us feel rushed, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
The entire team at B Active was so friendly and welcoming, making the whole process smooth from start to finish. If you’re visiting Bisbee, we highly recommend booking a tour with them. You won’t regret it!

Grand Adventure - What a great time! Had never been on a e-bike and that was fun. Riding the streets and seeing the sights while John gave a history lesson was fantastic. I couldn’t believe the colorful history of Bisbee!
