Ride through Venice’s canals and along Santa Monica Beach on a small-group electric bike tour with a local guide.

About this tour

Trade traffic and tour buses for a breezy ride along the coast. On this Santa Monica electric bike tour, a small group of six explores the Venice canals and Santa Monica Beach, reaching places that are harder to see from a car. The three-hour outing offers a relaxed way to take in the shoreline and neighborhood scenery with a local guide.

Choose whether to pedal traditionally or use the bike’s electric power as you ride. Helmets and bottled water are provided, so you can focus on the route and the views. The Santa Monica electric bike tour is designed for riders comfortable on a bicycle; participants must be at least 13 years old, 5 feet tall, and 100 lbs. Arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and a warm-up, and plan ahead for local traffic and parking near the Pier Avenue meeting point.

Set out to discover the canals and coast at an easy, personal pace. Book your Santa Monica electric bike tour and see Venice Beach and Santa Monica from the saddle.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.87 from 150 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Los Angeles

Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.2. Top 2% in Los Angeles means it ranks in the top 2% of tours in Los Angeles by this score.
