Amazing for a school trip! - Great experience with our guide Charlotte, we were a school group traveling to Los Angeles and she introduced us to Venice Beach and hiking to Hollywood Signs by making these times both exciting and fun accessible to middle school students. I also bought the track game for Hollywood Boulevard, which they loved!!
A thousand thanks to Charlotte again. We highly recommend!

Nice guided tour to Venice Beach and Santa Monica - We had a great morning for our first day of vacation in L.A.
We crisscrossed Venice Beach neighborhoods, canals and small streets and the waterfront with the End of trail of Route 66 in Santa Monica on our orange bikes.
Charlotte told us in detail the history of these iconic California places that make us dream so much.
We were also treated to some family photos and videos along the way that Charlotte emailed us.
They are now part of our souvenir album.
We will keep a good memory of this moment and our trip to the USA.
Thank you Charlotte and good luck on your orange bike.

A great adventure with family and friends, by bike. - Fantastic morning with Charlotte, family and friends. There were 10 of us, including 6 children. Charlotte adapts perfectly to the needs of the group, large and small. We discovered from another angle Venice Beach (from street art to small alleys, canals not passing the skate park) and Santa Monica. Everyone loved it. I really recommend doing it, it is a great experience to discover Los Angeles differently. A huge thank you to Charlotte and the entire California off Road team.

Charlotte & her team – Los Angeles in all its facets - Our most beautiful discovery in Los Angeles remains without hesitation the fabulous bike tour with Charlotte 🚲.
In 3h30, she took us into the soul of Venice and Santa Monica: canals, street art, unusual places... everything was perfect.
Many thanks also to his accomplices:
• Bernard, for the discovery of Los Angeles by car, a full day to explore the megalopolis and its mythical places.
• Segolene, who introduced our children to surfing with passion and energy. They were delighted to get up on their boards, despite the rough waves! 🏄♂️
Charlotte and her team gave us a warm and authentic human experience. Recommended absolutely ❤️.

Very friendly experience - Great time with our bike guide, Charlotte! We first discovered street art on the streets of Venice Beach: much more interesting listening to Charlotte’s comments rather than alone. Then head to the canals of Venice Beach and its homes then the waterfront to Santa Monica and its Pier.
No problem cycling. Thank you to Charlotte for answering our many questions! A very nice birthday present for me!!!!

An experience that meets the needs of all - A very nice discovery of Venice and Santa Monica with Nathalie.
This activity met my adult expectations but also those of my teenager.
Indeed, between moments of history and culture, truculent anecdotes, lifestyle habits of Americans, links to video games and cinema... There is something for everyone!
Also, do not fear about the "sports challenge" that awaits you, this walk is accessible to all.
In summary, I recommend this activity (especially for newbies, just like me) because it allows a nice first exploration of the place with a local.
