Great experience! Highly recommend upgrading to the electric bike. It makes the journey a lot more fun even if you are a strong rider. Kolin was an excellent guide and explained a lot about the area and showed us many things a long the way and beautiful scenery! I’ll definitely do this again on my next trip to Palm Springs.

Bike & Hike Adventure in the Desert

Karin_F, Mar 2024

Our group of 8 had a wonderful time with Ben on our bike & hike adventure to Indian Canyons and around some iconic Palm Springs neighborhoods. We definitely had varying degrees of cycling experience and the team made sure we were all comfortable before leaving the shop. Ben was a terrific guide - upbeat and knowledgeable. Did I mention that we're all over 60, thanks for bringing us all back safely.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the review kind Karin! Ben is an excellent guide, so we're so glad you all had a great tour!

Julie_K, Dec 2023

My adult son and I were on this tour with Ben as our guide. We had an absolutely amazing time! Ben was full of interesting information on the history of the area and the topography. Going on a tour of the area without a guide like him would not have been nearly as interesting. He was also very funny and cared a lot about our safety. Highly recommend!
