This means we work closely with you taking into consideration your groups needs and interest before we come up with the perfect itinerary for your group. We plan to start these tours at our shop in Batman Park but we can also come to you if it fits with your itinerary. The base of the bicycle tour goes for around 4 hours of and we do our best to keep this 90% off roads on safe bike paths and parks so everyone feels comfortable. Depending on the time of day we often include lunch or afternoon tea with your tour but have also run private tours in the warm summer evenings with dinner or a cheeky beverage at any number of Melbourne’s great bars.
