We had an amazing tour of Galveston. Saw and discovered new things we would have never known if we hadn’t taken the ride. Our guide Aaron was excellent. Very informative, and kept us safe along our ride threw neighborhoods and the ocean front.

Bike Tour with Local Color Commentary

Teresa_W, Mar 2024

First time e-bike users. Had a quick, but informative training session and warm up runs before the tour started. We had a great experience with our local tour guide, Aaron. Highly recommend!

Great time. Must do!

Mary_M, Mar 2024

Such vast knowledge and excitement sharing history! Loved seeing the wood carvings from trees that were lost due to hurricane.

The EBike tour was great!...

Julie_D, Mar 2024

The EBike tour was great! Aaron our guide made it very informative and enjoyable! I highly recommend it.

Pleasant morning E-Bike ride filled with history and sightseeing

Phillip_H, Feb 2024

Pleasant morning E-Bike ride filled with history and sightseeing along the way. We really enjoyed riding the bikes into the back neighborhoods and seeing the architecture and listening to the guide telling us about the homes and buildings. You get to go and see places that you would not normally see and go the back roads that are less traveled. As first time E-Bike riders and having been a several years since riding a bike, I was a little concerned about how my experience would be, but after a few minutes of instructions and a little practice before we left, we were good to go. I highly recommend this E-Bike tour if you want to see a lot of Galveston and find places you might want to travel back to and spend some more time exploring.

Best City Tour - Amazing detail, had a blast!

Kate_F, Feb 2024

Jason was our tour guide and he was EXCEPTIONAL! Absolutely hands down best city tour I’ve experienced. He went above and beyond to show not just the obvious tourist spots like the Bishop’s Palace - but many, many hidden gems that revealed so much of Galveston’s rich history. He brought the stories of the 1900’s to life. Thank you, Jason - you made our trip from Boston 1000x worth it!

Lots of fun facts about Galveston

Cyndi_W, Feb 2024

Jason was our guide and did a great job with the tour. We learned a lot of “fun facts” about the history of Galveston. Would recommend this tour for anyone that is interested in learning more about this historic city.

Just ok…

Robbie_H, May 2023

Our guide was very informative and gave a great history of the island! He also gave great recommendations on food and other tours.

Best e-bike experience in Galveston totally worth it

Ramon_F, May 2023

I highly recommend booking this place. I’m bad with names but the tour guide with the glasses she was totally awesome and she made the experience the best for me and wife. I love the E bikes because they’re super fast and reliable. The group we rode with were totally awesome!!

E-bikes best way to tour!

Nancy_m, Mar 2023

Guide was knowledgeable and interactive with the group. E-bikes are a great way to tour an area. Only issue was the guide went all out on speed a few times leaving those who weren’t as comfortable on speed behind until we came to next stop. Wish we were given the opportunity (time) to take pics in front of murals we passed. Would have enjoyed passing the “Galveston” mural. Overall enjoyed and would recommend.

Highly Recommend

Desiree_W, Jan 2023

Great tour. Phillip was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun!! Would highly recommend this tour.

Fun, energetic tour!

Lisa_C, Nov 2022

Great bike tour learned a lot. Our guide Phillip was very high energy and gave us fun stories about Galveston & great recommendations for places to see dolphins & eat. We tried them all and they were excellent!

Aaron is the BOMB DOT COM!!!!

Tonya_G, Oct 2022

We traveled from the Boston area and saw many positive reviews for the Zipp eBike Tours. I booked a tour for my husband and myself… we were absolutely not disappointed! Aaron, our tour guide, is a local and knew all the ins and outs of the city. The best places to eat/drink, all of it! Anything you could imagine, he knows it! Our tour was the perfect mix of history, stories and humorous commentary. Will absolutely be coming back and looking up Aaron/Zipp eBikes when we return! We always take tours when we travel and this was by far the most enjoyable/authentic.
