We did the historical tour with Doug. He was very knowledgeable and well spoken. It felt like we had known him for years! Touring Saint Petersburg on bike was a fantastic way to see so much of the city.

This tour combined three of our favorite things: biking, history and food. All were very enjoyable. Our guide, Doug, is very personable, knowledgeable and obviously loves his hometown. We biked through downtown St. Pete and along the waterfront mostly in bike lanes and on paths, a few times on sidewalks. We felt very safe. The bikes were in good condition. The lunch spot was a small, local restaurant with outdoor seating; the food was delicious. We gained an appreciation for the city that we would have never gotten by just visiting and staying in a hotel. Highly recommend this tour!!

This was an amazing experience. Doug, the guide, was knowledgeable about the history of St Petersburg and answered all our questions. The bike ride itself is easy (no hills) and you got to see many of the sights in the area. Lunch is at quaint small mom and pop restaurant. The burgers were delicious. We throughly enjoyed our tour.

Doug our tour guide was so friendly and easy to talk to. He was also flexible for what we wanted to see. The bike tour was great to explore downtown St. Pete & the waterfront.

Doug was very knowledgeable. You could see and hear his enthusiasm as he shared St Pete’s history. He was flexible and gave you time to take pictures and ask questions.

My wife and I are avid cyclists and are always looking for new biking experiences. Typically, these are on longer trails that traverse mostly countryside. On a whim, we decided to try something different and do a city bike tour. We registered online and met our tour guide, Doug, at 10 in the morning two days later. We signed the requisite paperwork and we were off. We chose to bring our own bikes and ride those, so no comments about the bikes. So this is all about the tour and the tour guide, Doug. In short he was excellent. It was obvious that he had spent a great deal of time reading about the history of the city of St. Petersburg. We cycled around the city, mostly on sidewalks, and made stops at various points of interest. These stops were also accompanied by detailed explanations of their history and their significance to the city. Apparently, the founders of the city, as wells as early administrators, showed extreme foresight in the development of the city. For example, they declined to allow the harbor to become an industrial complex, they bought the shoreline so that it could be preserved for public use, and they zoned for parks, shops, and promenades in a way that would remind you of many European cities. We were able to ride our bikes out to the end of the St. Pete pier for a gorgeous view of the bay and the city. For lunch, we made a slight detour behind the Dali museum to edge of the USF campus to a quaint little restaurant that served excellent food. The remaining hour of the tour was spend riding through other parts of the city and viewing some of the many murals (more than 700) that exist. It was a great experience for my wife and me. I would add that my wife was a little nervous about biking in the city, but she handled it well. It helped that it was done on a Wednesday. A weekend ride might be a bit more difficult. We would like thank Doug for his encyclopedic knowledge of the city and for taking care of us as we rode. It is a trip well worth doing.

My wife and I took this tour and had a great time with Doug. He is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he is passionate about St Pete. The bikes are smooth, comfortable and easy to ride. Would highly recommend taking this tour!

My husband and I made up a mini-tour of 2 with Doug from the bike tour operation. Doug is a great guy with a genuine love of his town. As we slowly biked around town for 3 hours on a hot-but-breezy August morning, along the harbor and downtown streets and neighborhoods, Doug filled us in on the history and founders of St. Pete from its early railroad and aviation days to its ups and downs in the 20th and 21st century. St. Pete's is currently on the upswing, with lots of construction and new restaurants. After viewing some murals, we made a pit stop at the funky Crislip Cafe in an old arcade to order a free coffee of our choice (try the iced mocha) and then near the end, Doug led us to our free lunch at a local café located next to the beautiful university (I enjoyed the large & tasty Thai chicken salad). The tour might have been a tad long at 3 hours, but we saw a lot and went back to several places later that day on Doug's recommendation (such as the don't-miss Dali Museum). We recommend this friendly cycling introduction to St. Petersburg.

Perfect way to see Saint Petersburg and learn about it origins and history. Doug took our small group on a relaxing tour along the waterfront and through the city with stops to point out important features, offer some interesting commentary on the history and answer our questions. A relaxing and entertaining morning with coffee stop and later a delicious lunch at a unique cafe before returning along the waterfont. Highly recommended.

This was a lot of fun. Doug, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the history and was able to tailor the message for our group. This was just what we were looking for, a relaxing ride. We highly recommend it.

It was an awesome bike tour!! Doug our guide was the best!! He was knowledgeable and most professional ! We enjoyed every part of it!! The morning coffee shop stop was nice and lunch was a nice spot with good food!! This is definitely worth doing if you want to explore Saint Pete’s and it’s history!!

Top flight bike tour. Bikes were Danish style 5 speed bikes controlled by right hand grip control. Hand brakes. Each bike had small basket for personal items. Water bottle holder with promo bottle filled with water when arrived. Our bikes were individually fitted by our amazing guide—Doug. He was meticulous in being sure bikes were comfortable for each rider. The tour—3.5 hours was perfect. So much history and personal observation. Doug was.well versed in historical figures of the city, architectural style and how events fit with national history. Coffee shop stop was perfectly integrated into the morning and lunch was delicious. What a bargain! Our group gave a unanimous 5 star rating to Doug and this tour company!!!

Doug and Jen are great hosts and story-tellers. Doug’s humorous interpretations of factual information kept us in amazement. The riding itself is pretty flat with only a light rise over a long distance which these coastal folks figure to be a hill. The bikes are easy to use, with 7 gears controlled by a motorcycle throttle handlebar switcher. Fairly upright, no neck- or wrist-straining positions. The speeds are low, the distances between stops are short. All in all, a very good, very easy tour for anyone - non cyclists included.

We had a lovely afternoon with Doug and being the only ones on the tour we appreciated his customization of the route to our liking. We enjoyed going off script and Doug was great in leading the way and highlighting some very interesting and inspiring murals. A quick stop at Green Bench brewery was also thirst quenching historic lesson.

Our guide Doug was terrific- scheduled a mural tour for our group to accommodate our schedule. The bikes were great and Doug could not have been more knowledgeable about the murals, the st Pete art scene and history. Your included coffee and truffle stop and appetizer lunch (very filling) - both at great local venues. This is a terrific way to see the city and not very taxing physically— all flat!

Doug was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy going! We biked by interesting sites, stopped to talk about the history, and had a coffee treat and yummy lunch. He also made good recommendations for what to check out while we were in town and where to eat. Highly recommend!

Best way to learn about/see St. Pete’s art scene, neighborhoods and more, w/ Doug as your guide; a local who is very knowledgeable about the City. Great bikes and stops (includes an delicious local coffee shop/beautiful truffle). Can’t wait to return and go on the other tours! The owner, Jennifer is very responsive and helpful!

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know some of St. Pete's history and heritage. Doug was friendly, informative and very accommodating. It was an easy ride with a comfortable bike. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants a fun bike tour with lots of information about the area, culture and history. I am planning on doing another one the next time I am in town!

I tried the cultural bike tour which was a relaxing way to explore downtown St Pete and learn some history of the city. It’s a great way to see the city of you just got into town or if you live in the area, it’s a great way to learn about your city. The pace wasn’t too fast and the snack was delicious. Guides were friendly and knowledgeable. M
