John was a fantastic guide. Very entertaining and knew a lot about the area. Riding the bikes through the route was fun and given the traffic, I was happy to not be in a car trying to negotiate the pull offs. The coast is beautiful. I would recommend this tour highly.

Great Way to See the Coastline
M2955PGjoannak, September 2026
Well worth the time and money. Tour guide, Tom, was personable and knowledgeable. Educated us about local, natural terrain and animals. E-bike was a great way to see the route, which included great scenic ocean views where we could stop for pictures; Pebble Beach golf course (even had a chance to pick up a souvineer ball cap for my husband at the pro shop so didn’t have to find another time to go back there); and riding through some beautiful forested areas. Definitely recommend.
