- Clive and Clair... B0 contributionsRental Bike 🚴 in MelbourneNeeded to hire a road bike for a couple of days in Melbourne. I was happy to do my own thing but needed a reliable bike to go on a few long rides. The team were very helpful and the bike was setup for me as requested with Shimano SL pedals and a Garmin mount. If I am back in Melbourne I will go back again.Written 22 March 2024

- kathrynj7530 contributionsGood overview.A small group of us on standard bikes which made the tour very enjoyable. Matt was a very professional and interested guide. Tour did include quite a lot of talking as well as cycling - enjoyed the anecdotes but would have liked to cycle a little more particularly around Fitzroy where we stopped for lunch. Overall though a good way for getting to know the city, and, if you are interested, its history.Written 16 February 2024

- mgatien0 contributionsA great introduction to Melbourne!A great overview of the city and some of its highlights. Out guide, Matt, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastically related that knowledge with a series of interesting historical anecdotes that enhanced out trip. The company was professional in accommodating my need to reschedule. They seem to take customer service seriously. Would recommend.Written 26 January 2024
- sspruce20180 contributionsA different way to see and appreciate MelbourneThis was an amazing 4 hr experience! We joined the e - bike tour and had the most informative guide- Izzy- who showed us how to use the bikes and took us around Melbourne and we stopped to chat and he told us stories about the area. We had couples on the tour but also a mother and son. The people were a mix of overseas travellers and interstate visitors. All communication was great leading up to the day and I would highly recommend giving it a go.Written 22 January 2024
- MegsandKev0 contributionsDon't miss outWe visited whilst in town for the F1. Was amazing. Tour guide was epic, lunch was ridiculously delicious. Informative, fun, what an adventure. We attempt to do a bike tour whenever overseas and this one is a goodie!!!Written 19 January 2024
- JeffLinder0 contributionsOne of the Best!I've done many e-bike tours (mostly in Europe) and can say Blue Tongue Bikes gave one of the best. The owner, Freddy, is super-personable and knowledgeable, and his assistant Finn was excellent as well. The bikes are in great condition and Freddy led us past many of Melbourne's highlights (the sports complex, Chinatown, the Botanic Gardens, Fitzroy Park, the Shrine of Remembrance, etc.) through an absolute deluge (the shop provided plastic ponchos). Despite the challenging weather, everyone on the tour had a wonderful time and, most important, there were no accidents even though the weather conditions were so difficult. I strongly recommend them!Written 9 January 2024
- dannaleea20240 contributionsRainy day rental, refunded!Nagbook kami ng rental ng road bike pero di namin inaasahan na malakas ulan kung kailan kami nagbook. Nagpunta kami sa shop nila on the day of booking para magparefund sana at ang dali at ang ayos nila kausap. Nakuha namin kaagad yung binayad namin tapos nagbigay pa sila ng mga suggestions kung anong pwede naming gawin sa city instead of bike ride. Ang galing! Thank you! Babalikan namin ito sa susunod na pagkakataon! (We booked a road bike rental but we didn't expect it would rain on the day of our booking. We went to their shop anyways to ask for a cancellation/refund and they were so easy to talk to. We got our refund right away and they even gave us suggestions on what else we can do in the city for that rainy day. Awesome customer service! Thank you so much! We'll definitely book with them again next time we're in Melbourne!)Written 7 January 2024
- CaamanoNJ0 contributionsTwo thumbs up!Freddie was a great guide. Biking through Melbourne on the electric bikes was fun and a great way to get a feel of the city. Lunch at Molly Rose was great stop.Written 5 January 2024

Freddy was very knowledgeable and cheerful leader. It was a weekend and there was street protest so the city roads were crowded but Fredi did a good job guiding us around.
I highly recommend to use electric bike for the tour. The quality of bike was nice and easy to control.

The day was windy and a bit rainy but Freddy made it an excellent bike tour. He was engaging, funny, and full of interesting historical information about the area. We enjoyed it so much we almost forgot about the weather. Highly recommend taking a tour with Freddy and stopping in Naked for Satan for some rigatoni and a pint.

Fantastic tour and wonderful company.
We came off a ship that was unable to dock because of fog. From my first text, our tour managers were flexible and pushed us back an hour to make sure we got the full experience.
The tour route is terrific, even as we navigated city street bike lanes. We did get a bit stretched out at times, but Matt never left anyone behind.
Matt knows his Melbourne facts and gave us tons of info and background on the city.
I'm taking one star off because the e-bikes were really jumpy and one of our party had brakes that were "metal on metal" and too soft. We're all e-bike owners and riders, so this isn't a case of user inexperience.
Lunch in Fitzroy was fantastic.
Overall, a great tour!

Our tour guide was ‘James’… he was both knowledgeable and really engaging with the group. After selecting bikes we had the opportunity to practice before heading off in a small group. So pleased we took this tour as it took us to many areas. We also stopped for brunch at Faraday’s Cage (very hip & trendy) before commencing the final leg of the tour. Well worth considering if visiting Melbourne. Ps. Don’t be put off by the area where the shop is located, or by the grumpy man and his dog within!

This tour was a great way to see a lot of Melbourne in relative ease with the e bike. Our guide, Freddy, did a great job filling in both sites and history of this great City. Most of your was on designated bike paths with some city riding. Pedestrians were more of an issue than cars. Highly recommend

The tour was excellent, and the bikes were great. Our guide Finn was knowledgeable and informative. He was attentive to all of our needs and ran the tour in a safe and efficient manner. My only negative was that he was continually putting forward his politically woke viewpoints and spin. My advice would be to stick to the facts about Melbourne and the tour, and you'll keep everyone on it happy!

The E-bike tour was great, as was Freddie. He was very knowledgeable in the history of the city that he loves. The bikes were easy to use and made the experience very comfortable. We would certainly highly recommend this tour, to see places you might not normally visit. Our lunch stop was very nice too. Great value for money.

This tour was fun and informative and we’ve already recommended it to people we’ve met on our travels heading to Melbourne! Freddie was focused on each one of us on the tour. He made sure he connected with each of us. He was humorous, informative and made sure each one of us was safe and having fun!

My parents thoroughly enjoyed the tour as it included a variety of sights and tourist attractions. Freddy regularly stopped to explain things, which was educational and informative. He also had a great sense of humour and made my parents laugh a lot. Given the traffic in Melbourne, the selected route seemed safe as well. Freddy sounds like the best guide anyone could imagine.

It's probably in front of me, but what time do the tours depart at?
