Emerald City Experience - Wonderful ride through the city. Rina was engaging & accommodating. We enjoyed the ride through neighborhoods and would recommend more of that in the ride rather than some industrial … not so scenic parts of the city.

Splendid way to experience the beauty of Seattle - Fabulous bike tour around Seattle. Thank you Ivy for leading such a pleasant journey. Tour was well paced—not too slow, but not so fast there wasn’t time for photos or bathroom stops. Route was great. Bikes could be somewhat better. would not be a fun tour on a rainy or wet day bit really happy we did it. Look forward to trying the ebike version at some point

Seattle's Excellent ride and guide - This was an excellent way to learn about the different parts of the city and see the sights. Our tour guide, Ike, was very knowledgeable and was able to adjust the needs of the tour to the group. She maintained an adequate pace while ensuring you had enough time at each stio in the tour and maintaining route safety. We look for to future trips to Seattle to explore the neighborhoods and events we learned about during our bike tour with Emerald City Bike Tours. Thank you for an amazing day!

Fantastic city exploration by bike - Had an awesome experience with Ike as our tour guide exploring the city. She was aware of our safety at all times.,her enthusiasm and informations made the time fly.The city has wonderful bike lanes, which made the ride very comfortable. Good bikes, non electric, a few hills that the gears worked well to climb. Saw many of the highlights and out of way places. So glad we took this tour, was the highlight of our time here. Thank you Ike, would take it again!!
