We had Jonathan as our tour guide, and he was amazing! His knowledge of the area and the history is impeccable – listening to him was really fun! He makes you feel like a friend and not just a tour guide by opening up and sharing personal things and tries to personalize the tour to one’s interests. The bikes are super fun and very easy to operate, you could do the whole tour off the battery and not pedal even once.

The KRML 102.1 Team joined a group of visitors for the 17-Mile Drive guided tour in mid-August and we had a wonderful time! These sights were familiar for many of us, but they had never been experienced on an e-bike — it is an experience not to miss! Breezing along on an electric bike gives you a much more exclusive and intimate experience. Everyone, tourist or local, should book their own Big Sur Adventure!

This was a great way to spend 3 (almost 4) hours. They company is run very well, and the equipment is good. Jonathan was a great guide. He gave us good commentary on many interesting things along the way, including harbor seals, John Denver memorial, beautiful golf courses, and nature. I’m 62 so I was a little worried about doing this, but it was very easy.

Fantastic experience even with an unusually cold Labor Day weekend. Joaquin was a fantastic knowledgeable guide and the experience is well worth the money.
