A great way to get out... - A great way to get out and see 3 lighthouses close up and hear the history of them. A pretty easy ride with plenty of breaks along the way.

A wonderful 17 mile bike ride - This was a wonderful bike tour with a total of 5 people including us and the guide! Our guide, Dan, was excellent! The pace was perfect for two very active people. The lobster roll was delicious. We biked just over 17 miles on the tour.

Bike tour and gigantic lobster roll. - Bikes were ready and in great condition. A 15 mile ride total mostly on bike paths along the coast visiting many lighthouses. Lunch was served with the largest best tasting lobster roll ever. We felt safe along with other families and teens in our group.

Great way to see Portland! - Dan was really great! Very informative and friendly! We had a great time!
But padded bike seats and a free bottle of water would have been appreciated.

We Love Lauren - The bike tour was a highlight of our trip! It was wonderful way to explore the city and learn a little history while seeing the main lighthouses. The best part of the tour was our guide, Lauren. Lauren was personable, professional, and knowledgeable! This is a must do activity and request Lauren when booking!

A wonderful experience! - What a wonderful experience this was! I was worried that 5 hours would feel like a long time on a bike, but it flew by. We made stops frequently for historical information and tips about any biking challenges coming up (there weren't many!). The bikes were in excellent condition. We opted for the ebikes just to keep it leisurely, but any fairly experienced biker would have no problem with the hybrids. Our guides, Scott and Elise, were wonderful! Elise took excellent care of my 80-year-old mom, who tends to be the last in the pack. She was patient and made her feel comfortable the whole time. The only thing I would just be aware of is that the tour does cross a busy bridge on bikes. I have a fear of heights, so I found it a bit intense, but it only lasted for 5 min or less, so it wasn't terrible. Everything else was perfect, including the Bite into Main lobster rolls for lunch by a beautiful lighthouse. It was a phenomenal way to spend the day, and the guides made it special! Worth every penny!

Beautiful day - Good…lived our group leader Chuck.
It did advertise as seeing 5 lighthouses and we only saw 3! Would have liked 5 and the ability to go in!
