*Amazing Electric Bike Tour of La Jolla* - Brian & Tyler were amazing! - This tour was amazing! We have done quite a few electric bike tours around the globe, and I have to say this was one of the best! The bikes seemed really new and worked perfectly. The battery on the bikes definitely lasted (I think battery only went down one notch during the tour), and the hills were no match for the power when on 4 (high), which was wonderful. The last thing I wanted to do was get tired peddling while viewing all the amazing sites of La Jolla. Our tour guides, Brian & Tyler, were personable and super knowledgable. They both grew up in the area and knew so many details and trivia, including really interesting historical things that only locals would know and be able to share! You can tell they love the area and love connecting with tourists! I can tell they really love what they do! Thank you for such a great experience!

A must-do activity while in La Jolla! - My teenage son and I did the So Cal Riviera Tour with Tyler on July 8th and it was amazing in so many ways! Such a fantastic way to get to explore La Jolla that you couldn’t do on your own via car. Because you’re on an e-bike, you’re literally immersed in so much beautiful scenery…I couldn’t think of a better way to spend our first day in La Jolla. Tyler was really knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about each area along the way. While we really enjoyed all the different stops, the icing on the cake was definitely the stunning 360 degree views from the Mt. Soledad Memorial – so breathtaking! This was such a positive and memorable experience for my son and I, I know we’ll likely reflect on it for years to come. When my son and I were talking about our tour experience today, a day later, we both agreed that what really made the experience so exceptional was Tyler. Tyler is such a genuine, grounded and real dude with such a positive vibe. Both my son and I were really grateful for the meaningful connection that we developed with Tyler during our time together. Thanks for making our journey around La Jolla so phenomenal, Tyler!

Make SoCal Roviera E-bikes part of your plans while in LaJolla! - So Cal Riviera e bike tour of La Jolla was an excellent e- bike tour today.! We arrived in La Jolla yesterday and wanted to get our bearings and learn about the town and its surroundings. Brian was an excellent tour guide and provided some of the best scenic views in San Diego -as well as history and stories along the way. He made sure we were familiar with the e- bikes before and helmets provided fit. Was well paced. We stopped frequently for photo ops, bathroom and refreshment breaks. We saw views we never would have seen if we hadn’t been on Brian’s tour! Overall, it was a great experience and we would highly recommend taking a SoCal Riviera e bike tour while you’re in La Jolla.
