      Best Tour in Goa
      This bike ride was phenomenal. Riyaz was a great guy and lovely guide. He had a good knowledge of the birds in the area and showed us some great ones - including the drongo, and great egret. We stopped by a few beautiful churches and the tour ended with a spectacular church visit to the oldest church in Goa. The tour was very flexible as it was only us in the group - and he was very acomodating. Highly recommend

      Beautiful Old Goa
      I enjoyed this short e-bike tour of old Goa. The Bom Jesus cathedral was closed but we went to another one instead. Old Goa is so beautiful! My guide Cedric was great.

      Excellent e-bike tour with Riyaz
      We really enjoyed the e-bike tour with Riyaz today. I was a little bit nervous about using an e-bike as I’ve not done it before but I found it easy and enjoyable and Riyaz’s enthusiasm for Goa’s history and wildlife was infectious and interesting. I would recommend this trip to all ages as long as you can balance on 2 wheels ha :)

      We had a fantastic e-bike ride with my 14 year old daughter. Sahil was a wonderful host very considerate knowledgeable and interesting. He made the trip a joy. I like how the trip was varied , we saw an organic farm, Goan villages and churches. Catching bit of real life here. Thank you so much 🙏

      One of my best excursions ever.
      When travelling, you can normally tell how good or bad an excursion will be within the first few minutes of meeting the hosts. I'm more than happy to recommend this company based on my experience today. My partner and I had ridden bicycles before but not e-bikes. Our hosts were Joshua and Cedric and took plenty oftime to explain the operation of these and help out at any difficult parts during the ride. In addition, they were both friendly throughout and we enjoyed their conversation and company. Although we were out and about and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast with them, it was hard to believe we had been out for 3+hours. Overall, I can highly recommend this tour. Whatever your skill level with e-bike / cycling they adapt the approach so you get maximum enjoyment - the price is very reasonable as well an I have no hesitation in recommending this tour. These guys demonstrate that good customer service goes a very long way.

      A wonderful (and exhilarating) morning !
      Joshua and Cedric are the stars of this trip with their nonstop energy and enthusiasm. They are locals and happy to impart their knowledge of both the past and present as we cycled around Aguada, Candolim and Nerul. The breakfast stop was incredible, with amazing local food and some laughs too. I'm not used to cycling on roads and had never used an E-Bike but they were patient and we felt safe and sound with them. Some great memories to take home - thank you.

      E-Bike Adventure Through Candolim, Goa
      Traveling solo, I was looking for a unique way to explore Goa beyond the usual tourist spots, and this e-bike tour through Candolim turned out to be the perfect experience. Riding through quiet fishing villages, past stunning beaches, and alongside lush mangroves where locals cultivate crops, I got a real feel for the region’s natural beauty and daily life. The e-bike itself was fantastic—comfortable, easy to ride, and with just the right amount of electric assist to make the journey effortless. It allowed me to enjoy the scenery without worrying about the heat or terrain. My guide, a local with a deep knowledge of the area, made the experience even more special. He shared stories about the fishing communities, explained the agricultural techniques used near the mangroves, and gave me a glimpse into Goa’s culture beyond what most visitors see. His passion and insights added so much depth to the ride. It was the perfect mix of adventure, learning, and relaxation. Exploring Candolim on an e-bike gave me a sense of freedom and connection with the surroundings that I wouldn’t have gotten any other way. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see a different, more authentic side of Goa!

      Amazing ebike tour of Divar Island
      We had a wonderful time with Joshua! He showed us around, starting at the Church of Saint Catejin, down to the port area, and up to Divar Island. The trip was very informative—we learned about the background stories of some archaeological sites in Divar. In the end, we were hosted by a lovely local couple, Antonio and Alinda. We enjoyed a wonderful local drink, a chutney sandwich, and a delicious marble cake baked by Alinda. The return trip to the port was amazing as we gazed at the sunset over the mangrove coast of Divar Island. Highly recommended if you’re in Goa!

      Fantastic experience
      Had a really great experience on the afternoon ebike tour. Riyaz was a fantastic guide and informed us on the history of the sites and Portuguese influence in the region, as well as all the wild life in the area. He is an expert on birds! He was also very patient with us on the bikes which was brilliant. Riding through Divar Island was incredible, and we even managed to see a small crocodile. We stopped to buy some Fenni from a local vender who makes his own from all different flavours. Would very much recommend. We travelled through from Benaulim and it was well worth it. Thanks again Riyaz!

    We went on the tales and trails Panaji tour.

    Amis our tour guide was exceptional with so much information about the area to share (including old town). He answered all our questions, was cheerful and passionate, and quickly adapted to get us a new bike when one of our group’s bike was faulting.

    Shraddha who assisted the excursion was also very friendly and made you feel at ease throughout. The drinks and snack with a local also encapsulated the kind and fun nature of Goan’s, sharing his homemade wines and stories of his home and heritage. Packaged together with a taster of Goan puddings at a local shop this trip really was all you can ask for.

    Only change I could make is the motor on two bikes of our group of 11 (total) became slightly faulting on the hill and e-bikes take a moment to get used to. Regardless the bikes were replaced quite quickly. Ideally we would have also stopped at the beautiful red building on the way up the hill. Hope to be back soon.

    This e-bike tour is fantastic, I highly recommend it. It is absolutely worth doing because you can see way more of Fontainhas and Panjim than you can on a walking tour. It’s really hot here, so getting around easily and heading up to Altinos, the highest location in Panjim, was easy and fun on the e-bike. We also visited a historic home built in 1837 in Fontainhas and had a wine and Feni tasting with the home owner, where his family has lived for 7 generations. Cedric, my guide, was awesome. He was really nice, very informative, and super chill. He patiently waited for me when I arrived late and also made sure I was able to get a taxi after the tour. As a women traveling alone I really appreciated his kindness. I have already booked another e-bike tour tomorrow with this company.

    Went on the Fontainhas tour with my friend (2 people). We met Joshua, our extremely warm and friendly captain who showed us around the Latin quarters, the Altinho hillock, invited us to a local's house for tasting some super smooth wines and introduced us to some of the best Goan desserts at one of the oldest running bakeries in Panjim. He was really prompt with answering our questions, recommended places to us and stood in the bakery throng to get us our sweets. 10/10 recommended. The bikes are fun to ride and it really is the best way to explore Panjim. No exaggeration there.

    Riding ur bikes through the picturesque lanes of Goa can be one of the best therapies/escapes you could ask for. I was lucky to have Cedric who was very patient with us considering it took us a while to get comfortable riding on the streets. But 15 mins down and the bike ride turned even more fun. Cedric took us to a very old Portugese house where we were served the platter of wine shots(all amazing). We specially loved the uphill ride to Altinhos which wasnt very difficult thanks to mechanics of the bike. Please do not miss this at any costs! Its worth the money!

    The bike tour was great fun - Cedric kindly led us through the beautiful city of Panjim. He took us to some lovely local places including the oldest bakery and the high point of the city. He was very friendly and professional - would recommend as a great way to see the town if you’re visiting the area!

    I recently went on a biking tour, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The route was well-planned, offering a mix of charming local stops, and Goan heritage.
    Cedric was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always ensuring our safety while keeping the energy high. They shared interesting facts about the area and were quick to assist with any bike issues. The bikes provided were in excellent condition, making for a smooth and comfortable ride.

    While visiting Goa, little did we know that travelling 45 mins from Anjuna to Panjim would lead us to the most memorable part of our trip. We must have been blessed because Joshua, our guide, was actually filling in for someone else who had fallen sick that day. I genuinely feel that, had it been another person, it might have been a bit rushed. Instead, Joshua was patient, level headed and interactive, while showing us the different land marks. At the bakery, we had some nice snacks and deserts, while exchanging stories with one another. Later, we visited Mr. aries house for wine tasting which was excellent. We probably overshot the trip duration by a good 2 hours, but time flew by as we had a great time with our new friend, Joshua! Cheers!

    A most interesting tour to know about the history of the capital city. Visiting one of the oldest bakeries and cyclin through the colorful lanes of Goa are a few key highlights of the trip.

    We decided to book the Panjim tour as we were staying around the city. We were told that we can expect to explore the cultural side of Panjim and that is exactly what happened. The highlight of the tour was Fontainhas with its colourful Portuguese inspired houses, cafes, artifact shops and art galleries. Such a beautiful sight. It is truly a unique element in the city of Panjim. My favorite was the visit to this small bakery where we were served bite sized Goan delicacies. I did pick a few to take back home. Thoroughly enjoyed this experience with the BLive captain Chetan.

    We had a fantastic time without great tour guide Cedric taking us round the Latin quarter of Panjim on e bikes. Very easy to ride. Cedric knows a lot about the history architecture and culture of Panjim. We also visited a traditional house and did some wine tasting. Great tour we will not forget. Thank you so much
