A ton of fun Max was a superb guide for our first visit to Melbourne. He has an obvious enthusiasm for his home town which is quite contagious. We had a wonderful tour, stopped for a delicious lunch and got some great ideas for what to do next in Melbourne. The e-bike tour is the way to go as we covered so much ground - definitely my favourite way to see a new city.

Great tour of all the notable spots in Melbourne! The tour was just the right amount of bike riding and history with stops at all of the notable sights of Melbourne. Leo was an excellent tour guide friendly, fun and shared some interesting tidbits of history! Highly recommend!

Fantastic way to see Melbourne This was a fantastic way to see Melbourne. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting here. Max, our guide, was fabulous and very knowledgeable.

Amazing Tour I must admit, I was feeling a little anxious. I was concerned with the busy roads and it was also my first time on an electric bike. Marcus immediately put us at ease. He was informative and made sure we were safe throughout the ride. Our four hour ride went by so quickly on a such beautiful day in Melbourne. Well done Marcus and team.

A Fantastic Way to Explore Melbourne! I had a fantastic day exploring Melbourne on an electric bike tour! Marcus was an excellent guide, sharing fascinating insights into the city’s local history and cultural highlights, along with personal anecdotes that made the experience even more engaging.
The electric bikes were a great way to cover more of Melbourne than I would have been able to on foot, and seeing the city through a local’s perspective made it even more special. The Fitzroy Gardens and a laneway showcasing Melbourne’s famous street art were particular highlights for me.
Lunch was at the perfect venue, with a great variety of options to choose from. I opted for the steak sandwich, which was delicious!
Overall, it was a professional, informative and thoroughly enjoyable experience. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover more of Melbourne in a fun and relaxed way!

Melbourne city bike tour Great way to explore the city with a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide Marcus.

Melbourne e-bike tour A fabulous bike ride around Melbourene at a leisurely pace. Bikes and helmets were in great condition and our tour guide Max was very informative.

A great e-bike tour. Great tour of Melbourne! The bikes were comfortable and easy to use. Marcus was an excellent guide and led us on a fun tour of the important sights and key neighborhoods of Melbourne.

Great service, great bikes, great location Second time we’ve rented gravel bikes from blue tongue and both times they’ve been amazing. This time round the weather forecast was dreadful for the day we’d booked and so we asked if we could delay the booking by 24 hours which they were happy to do. We ride decent quality bikes at home and although the rentals aren’t quite as good as our own, they certainly did the job well.

The location of the shop is perfect. It’s next to the river and the cycle trails that follow the river.

Will definitely be using Blue Tongue again.

Enjoyable and insightful An excellent tour of the major sights around Melbourne with Marcus who was a well informed guide and provided a great insight into the history of Melbourne and the specific sights- highly recommended

E-bike tour of Melbourne We did the e-bike tour of Melbourne with the tour guide Leo and he was fantastic. Loved all the places we visited, he made it so interesting and was very understanding with our extra requests.

We had a fantastic Classic Bike Tour with Blue Tongue Bikes.

My initial enquiry with James was for a group of ten, but due to unforeseen circumstances, that became eight. As our cycling day approached, the weather forecast looked very wet, so the team kindly rearranged our booking from Saturday to Sunday.

On the day, our guide was Marcus, who did a fantastic job explaining the First Nations' history of the area, how the Yarra got its name, and providing a concise overview of Melbourne's history as we cycled around the city. We visited many interesting sites, with well-timed stops for photos and commentary, and enjoyed lunch at a great café in Collingwood.

In total, we covered around 16 km and thoroughly enjoyed the e-bike experience. A couple of our group were a little apprehensive, as they hadn't ridden for some time, but Marcus took the time to build everyone's confidence with a practice ride around Batman Park before we headed off. Although we rode on some roads, most of the route followed dedicated cycleways and was relatively flat, making for a very comfortable ride. We were also treated to the sight of several flocks of black cockatoos, which Marcus commented was a rare occurrence.

We were interstate visitors celebrating a 60th birthday, and we'd highly recommend Blue Tongue Bikes as a brilliant way to discover Melbourne.

Great e-bike tour We are from Hong Kong, first time in Melbourne. My 8 year old son and I joined the group e-bike group. Turns out it was only we two so it became like private tour. We used a big bigger bike with seat at back for son to sit on.

Our guide Al was very nice, well informed and educating us with lots of Melbourne history and stories, and great smiles and energy. Blessed with great weather when forecast said whole week of rain. Sturdy bike.

Absolutely fantastic experience.

The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was actually my first time discovering that tandem bikes even exist, and they kindly set us up with a phone mount before we headed off.

My partner and I took the tandem bike around the Capital City Trail and had an absolute blast. There is something hilarious about trying to coordinate two people on one bike, but once you get going it’s ridiculously fun.

The bike was in great condition, everything worked perfectly, and it made for a memorable day out.

Also, the store dog is dangerously cute. I wanted to rub that dog so bad, but somehow managed to keep my composure because the owners were right there.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun way to explore Melbourne. We will definitely be back.

I and my wife, both Indian senior citizens decided to explore part of Melbourne by doing Yarra river city loop cycling trail.
We hired our bike from blue tongue Bikes, located near Yarra river.
The 1st point of contact was a young lad, named Jeremy.
Jeremy explained us everything about bike rental charges, type of bikes, demonstrated us on how to operate dual cycle lock.
He also patiently explained us about the route of Yarra river trail .

He trusted us with cycles without asking for any deposit or ID proof.

After riding for about 12 kms, my wife's cycle's rear pulley snapped and we were stuck in a remote area as she could not longer continue the ride.
We got little tense as we were riding for 1st time in Australia and after the break down of cycle we were really wondering what now?
We phoned Jeremy and this young lad gave us reassurance and after tracking our location, rode all the way to us with a replacement cycle.
And my wife could continue her ride with the replacement cycle.
On being thanked, Jeremy said its the part of his job.

We highly appreciate his cooperation, patience and helpful nature and it has left a very remarkable positive impression as Australia being a very tourist friendly country.
A huge shout out for Jeremy and Blue Tongue Bikes. 👋

Amazing Al Great day with Al. Informative, personable, sightseeing was thoughtful. Great history stories. Highly recommended.

4 Hour E Bike Adventure - Thanks Marcus! We loved our 4 hour easy peddle-assist bike tour around the CBD and surrounding attractions. It's so easy on a bike to cover huge distances - the bikes worked really well - and we felt super safe following our awesome guide, Marcus, around. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and was a local Melbourne boy (born and raised) so it was great to have that local touch. After the tour, and because we then felt confident on the bikes and in the traffic - we took the bikes down to Melbourne Beach, St Kilda and Brighton beach for a quick dip. Hiring bikes and having a tour to give you confidence was the best thing we could have done! Such a highlight of our trip!

Great tour It was a great tour, Ale did an amazing Job! The bikes are very easy to use! I would recommend booking this tour the first day you are in Melbourne if you have no idea what to do or see! Makes it so much easier. I definitely recommend!

A bit of everything. Go. It’s great. Bit of an explore. Bit of history. Bit of culture. Bit of exercise. Bit of lunch. All in a lot of fun.

The teenager reckons it was the highlight of our weekend. I’d agree.

A must do in Melbourne My son and I did this tour and loved it! Such a great way to see so much of the city. Al was our guide and he was awesome! Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent Experience We absolutely loved our bike tour through Melbourne with Freddy, our amazing guide! Biking was an awesome way to get to see a lot of Melbourne in a short amount of time. The bikes were easy to use (peddle assist) and we felt very safe on the roads. I highly recommend Blue Tongue Bikes!!

Great way to see the city Never done this activity before. Absolutely brilliant.

Very Knowledgeable and entertaining Guide. Lovely place for lunch.

Now back home in the UK. We are going to buy electric bikes.

Loved the e bike trip We had a lot of fun on the e bike trip. Loved all the history. Great pace. Al was funny, informative, patient. Would def recommend.

Well worth doing This tour was so informative. The guide told us so much history about Melbourne and was very enthusiastic. We rode everywhere and saw so much.

A great bike ride Marcus was an excellent tour leader. He took time to explain how to get the best of the electric bikes and the history of the City of Melbourne. The route he covered included a lot of historical sites and buildings. Lunch was in a wonderful little cafe that provided gluten free options. All in all it was a great experience lead by a charismatic and knowledgeable leader.

Fabulous day biking around Melbourne Excellent way to see a lot of Melbourne in a day. We were a bit delayed due to the F1 race being in town which impacted public transport, our fellow riders and our guide, Freddy, were very accommodating. We learned a good amount about Melbourne, including history of the area, sports history, and went to so many places we might otherwise not have visited during our day in the area. We biked along the Yarra River and stopped at a great local eatery for lunch. Super cute restaurant with a great local vibe and amazing aesthetic.

Everyone was provided an e-bike, which made it a great trip for all levels & easy to keep everyone together.

Highly recommend Freddy & this tour with Blue Tongue Bikes!

Awesome Must Do Bike Tour One of the best things to do in Melbourne in order to get your bearings in the city. Freddie is one of the best tour guide we’ve ever had informative and entertaining, and the choice of cafes where we all sat down together for lunch was just amazing the food was glorious! Thanks for an awesome day out Freddie Jill and Genie

Book a Private tour NOT small group We took this tour while we were in town on a cruise ship. It was very fast paced and provided a good orientation to Melbourne. Our guide was friendly. I wish we could have stopped more often to take pictures as we were only in town for a few hours. If we were staying in Melbourne we could have gone back on our own to take pictures. The Grand Prix hoopla made Melbourne city center a very crowded place. Our tour of 11 guests with a guide in front and an employee in the back was too big. Often we couldn’t all get across streets at the same time given there were 13 bikes. We also had to walk the bikes for safety reasons when pedestrian traffic was high. The tour company should have limited the guest count by half since they knew the Grand Prix was in town. It was also almost impossible to hear the guide if you are in the 12th position in the back. Either having a microphone for the guide with earbuds for guests or having smaller groups would help this problem. Because of the crowds and biking experience of some guests on our tour, I believe we went at a slower than normal pace as we didn’t get to all the places listed on the itinerary. If I were to do this again, I would book a private tour and not small group.

I’d like to say thank you to Marcus for your tour,
I hadn’t been on a bike for 40 years so was feeling quite nervous.
I appreciated riding around the park several times to gain some confidence.
Despite living in Melbourne, I still really enjoyed the historical information provided during the ride.
I’d thoroughly recommend this tour.
Kind regards,
Carmel.

Great e-bike ride in Melbourne Freddie was our ride leader. He was engaging, personable and very knowledgeable. Bikes worked very well.

Interesting and fun Freddie was a fantastic guide. The bikes were great and the whole tour was informative and fun - lunch was great too! A really good value activity.

Unforgettable cycling tour with great guide My husband and I had a great tour of Melbourne with our guide, Al. He was so considerate, knowledgeable and helpful and we both certainly gained so much knowledge about Melbourne from him. Certainly worth the money and enjoyed every minute!

Great way to cover lots of city. Thanks Fred! The e bike tour was great. We got to see so many ch of the city on these great bike paths, all on easy riding e bikes. Our Guide was fantastic. A nice mix of info and current culture. Stopped at a great place for lunch. Nice pace. Make sure you bring a light jacket as it can be cool riding, even on a nice day. There are baskets on some of the bikes so you can just put the jacket in the basket.

Sunny Melbourne at its best Great time with Al as our informative guide on a stunning Melbourne day.

A great way to see Melbourne A great way to see the highlights of beautiful Melbourne. Al, our guide was informative and interesting. Lunch stop was delicious too. Bikes were in good condition. Would thoroughly recommend.

4 hour Melbourne city bicycle tour that was FANTASTIC! Our guide Al was friendly, helpful, and a font of information about the city, the people's, and the cultures of Australia. A must do if you have the time.

Great tour! Excellent job, Al! Thanks for explaining Aussie rules football and cricket to a couple of clueless Americans! Great bikes, a safe and fun ride!

Great overview of Melbourne. As Melbournians we hosted a group of English friends on this trip around Melbourne. Easy and safe ride even for those who do not bike regularly. Great oversight of the city covering lots of the attractions and a nice lunch stop, our friends loved it. Avalon was our guide who did a great job.
John

First time visitors of Melbourne. Our tour guide, Al provided a keen knowledge on Melbourne and made our experience exciting and memorable. We had a great time. Highly recommended.

Excellent This was a really great experience. A good selection of bikes to choose from. Ideal Central location to meet up and straight onto the start of the guided tour with a great introduction the origin of Melbourne.
From there for the next 2 hours we stopped and started at many of the points of interest.
Al the guid did a super job and I have a much better knowledge of Melbourne. So you may have guessed by now I really recommend this service..

Fabulous !!!! Excellent !!!
We truly enjoyed it.
Bikes were good and guide was very well informed.
Melbourne is such an enjoyable city.

Book direct! Their customer service is so much better (I booked through Viator originally and had some issues with my booking, but the shop made it very easy to correct). The owner was our guide and he was very friendly and engaging. The café that we stopped at had fabulous food. It was really yummy. The bikes were in great condition and we all had a nice time. Highly recommend!

Very entertaining and knowledgeable guide. The bikes were in excellent condition. The lunch stop was a bit slow but not terrible. Definitely would recommend this for a quick and fun way to visit the city. Lots of photo opportunities.

Absolutely loved the Melbourne bicycle tour! It was the perfect way to explore the city—fun, relaxed, and incredibly informative. Our guide “Freddy” was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared great local stories and hidden gems you wouldn’t find on your own. The route was well planned, safe, and covered iconic spots as well as lesser-known laneways. The bikes were comfortable and well maintained, making the ride smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Melbourne from a unique and memorable perspective!

Highly recommended Excellent tour. Al very knowledgeable about Melbourne and shared lots of interesting bits of information and places to visit after the tour. The place we stopped for lunch was really good too

Super trip and lunch spot! We had a great ride through many popular spots in the city. Our tour guide was great! It was a relaxed safe ride and was great for adults.

The Best way to see Melbourne! My first full day in Melbourne and what a brilliant way to get your bearings, see the sights and those that you'll want to come back to.
Al was a great Tour Leader, friendly and knowledgeable and gave the group a wonderful insight into his home city. No better way fo get around than an ebike and the weather was perfect. The group lunch was a great touch, we got to spend time with our fellow travellers and meet Al's colleague Simon, a great character!
I recommend this tour without hesitation!

This is one of the best bicycle Rental experiences I have ever had...and I travel and rent bicycles very frequently. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, the bicycle was fully equipped for everything you need for an urban biking experience (mobile phone holder, good kickstand, wheel and chain lock, basket). I highly recommend.

Visiting from Qld, I wanted to hire a bike to see around Melbourne. Centrally located, lots of different bikes available. Reasonably priced & friendly service to set up the bike I needed. Melbourne has great bikeways. I could 30kms around the capital city loop with hardly any on road riding and they are still improving.

GREAT TOUR TO SEE THE CITY I've been to Melbourne 4 times before and never experienced it as well as on this bike tour. Highly recommended. Great tour, great guide.

Fantastic experience in Melbourne This was an awesome trip in a beautiful city. Our guide, Marcus, was a wealth of knowledge about the history the area and the Australian life and culture.
We covered lots of territory on good e-bikes. The lunch stop was unique and delicious.
For the true Melbourne experience we encountered rain, wind, sleet and some sun on a chilly spring day.

Very good tour, with one major problem A very good way to see a lot of the city, --- much better than walking or bus tours. The guide was excellent, -- very knowledgeable about the history of Australia and Melbourne (He's a history major.). The bikes were easy to use and very reliable. There were 9 people in our group.
The only problem was that the tour was too long. It started at 10:00 and ended at 2:00 with an hour's break for lunch (at our expense) at a mediocre restaurant with a small menu. I would rather have seen them start at 09:00 and finish by 12:00 and just do the biking, so we could go and have lunch elsewhere at the regular time. Still, I would recommend this tour.

Great tour with the perfect guide! Great tour with the perfect guide!
Marcus's enthusiasm, knowledge and warmth made for a fantastic ride around Melbourne

Perfect way to see the city Al, our guide was great, telling us all about Melb. And it’s sites and history. We rode at a good pace far all. Bike are quality bikes well maintained

A great way to see and learn about Melbourne This was such a great way to see Melbourne and to learn more about the city. Our guide, Max, was friendly and informative. We had a great day.

A fun way to tour Melbourne highlights! A perfect way to get acquainted with different part of the city! Highly recommended. Use of e-bikes makes this suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities.

Great bike tour What a great way to see Melbourne and thanks to Marcus for educating us on the history of this beautiful city and helping us negotiate the streets of Melbourne on a bike . Loved the cafe in Fitzroy where we had lunch . Thanks again

Not a bike tour for everyone I enjoy bike tours when I travel to cities. Half of the tour took us along bike paths and parks, the other half was stressful for me- stopping and starting at intersections, negotiating city streets with traffic and pedestrians. There were 7 in our group, and at times we did not all have time to cross the road before the light went red. Our guide was informative about the stops along the way, and told some great stories. I noticed he spent a lot of time looking at his phone as he led the group, and was not always attentive to us while we followed. In my opinion, the lunch stop was a waste of time. I would recommend cutting out the lunch stop and making the tour an hour shorter. If you are nervous riding in traffic and in busy pedestrian areas. I would not recommend this tour.

A good time was had by all. I enjoyed seeing Melbourne from the seat of a bicycle. The weather was wonderful. Marcus, our guide did a great job leading and educating us about Melbourne.

Excellent! Excellent tour with Freddy! Saw a huge amount of the city and learned loads about Melbourne. Bikes were in great condition. Stopped for delicious coffee and food in Fitzroy, a place we would happily return to! Great operation overall! Thanks
