      Great tour with a great guide.
      Scott was a wonderful guide. We tasted several beers and visited some really cool breweries and food truck pods. We also had some tater tots that were to die for! (Really, they were life changing) We went back a couple days later for more. So glad we decided to take the tour.

      Chocolate Making Fun
      How wonderful! Laid back fun and informative with history and details on how to make chocolate from start to finish - tasting was the best! The homemade hot chocolate was best I ever had.

      Great introduction to Bend brew pubs and PNW beers.
      A nice, easy paced tour. Scott is a mellow, genial host who took us to a diverse selection of Bend's local brewpubs. All the locations had a different vibe and varied beer tastes. Silver Moon gets my vote for the best of the three. A great introduction to the Bend beer scene especially if you are visiting or new to the area. Recommended!

      Great overview. Really small shop but fun to see how chocolate is made. We were also able to make our own bars.

      Chocolate for your heart
      My husband and I visit Bend every fall. This year, we were looking for a unique experience. We found it! Amanda and R.C. are friendly, kind and knowledgeable. The tour explained their process of chocolate-making as well as their mission working with farmers in the countries where they source their beans. I found it fascinating how different each chocolate tasted, depending on where the beans originated. Scott, from Adventure Tours Bend, brought in wine to pair with the chocolate. I went into this tour looking to try something new. When we left, loaded up with chocolate, I realized that I felt like we had made three new friends. Thank you all for the experience. We will be back.

      Delightful brewery tastings and delicious food truck food! Great conversation and local knowledge about how we can make
      This tour exceeded our expectations! We had a brief visit here in Bend and wanted someone with local experience. We had so much fun and highly recommend. Great beer, great food truck experience—only surpassed by the knowledge and our affable guide. I’m coming back and will reach out again for another event. You won’t be disappointed!

      Scott and Amanda were fantastic. The tour was informative and thorough. Samples were from different countries and tasty. Catered to the individual rather than a corporate feel. Would recommend.

      fun time
      They were very knowledgeable about the history of chocolate and how to get pure dark chocolate. I wasn't aware this was all dark chocolate which isn't my favorite. The wine was great but my husband never got his hot chocolate. And while technically we made our own chocolate bars, all we did was pour the chocolate into the mold. I thought we would do some more of the process like grinding by hand the bean. We had a great time though since Amanda and RC were great people and we really enjoyed talking with them.

      Fantastic tour with a very kind and knowledgeable guide.
      The tour we did was really nice with a nice tour through the Deschutes brewery in Bend. And some nice tastings in a few other smaller breweries in town where there was just a general good vibe in all of them. Furthermore Scott was a really good and knowledgeable tour guide. It was really nice that we could have some fun conversations with him about pretty much anything. He even gave us some really nice tips for the rest of our trip as well. Because he's just a very attentive person that just wants the best for anyone that takes a tour with him.

      Fun, interesting and unique
      The experience was super fun for all of us (me, wife, kids 13 and 11). Scott (our contact at Adv. Tours) was genuine, friendly and accommodating from start to finish, and our hosts at Seahorse chocolates were too. The experience was well planned to demonstrate their passion for their work and knowledge, which made for a lot of fun experiential learning and absolutely divine chocolate. We had a great time and recommend heartily to all whom this experience sounds remotely interesting. Thanks, Scott!

      Great, off the beaten path, tour!
      We had so much fun hanging out and learning about chocolate! My family is on a 2 week road trip and stopped in Bend for a few days. Decided to take this tour and we are all really glad we did! Very laid back, friendly, informative and delicious! We have a 5 year old and a 13 year old, both found it to be fun! They gave us recs for dinner and shopping and we left with 16 chocolate bars 😅. Definitely recommend!

      Interesting to taste the different chocolate and learn that a high percentage of cacao doesn't equal bitterness! Good wine pairing, and fun to make our own bars. Amanda was lovely

    Our guide, Scott, was fantastic. The electric bikes are in excellent condition and the trail is one without the competition of cars. It is, in our opinion, the best and most fun way to experience Bend, see city, which is beautiful and experience the terrain and the views. We had 4 folks, two that had never done e-bikes and 2 that had never done e-bikes and we all had a fantastic time. He brings water and you are wearing helmets so you don't need to bring those items. You can leave bags or items in his truck so you are not having to manage anything but yourself on the bike. :). Thank you Scott.

    My husband and I highly recommend Scott’s Electric Bike Tour of Bend and Deschutes River! We took his wonderful tour on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, when we were visiting Bend from Minnesota. Neither of us had ever ridden an e-bike but bicycle frequently. Scott did a great job explaining how to ride the bike, helped us adjust the bikes for our heights, and had us ride around the block so we would get comfortable. Part of the reason we chose Scott’s tour is because he takes small groups of four or less; there were four of us on our tour. Most of our tour was on a mixed use trail so we did not have to ride on busy streets. We rode along the beautiful Deschutes River and stopped for a photo opportunity high above the river. We also rode around Drake Park and the Old Mill District. If you want to see Bend, and want to receive a memorable tour, please consider Scott’s tour!

    We had the best time on the Deschutes bend E bike tour. Our guide Scott was very communicative and met us promptly. The scenery was beautiful we rode the trails and bridges around Bend having a variety of city riding and beautiful scenic Riverside riding. Scott made sure we were comfortable with the hills and using the bikes before exploring. Lots of fun!

    Nice way to see the scenic city parks and Deschutes river. We did this tour on our first day in Bend, so it gave us a good perspective on the layout of the city. Scott was thorough in his explanation of how the ebikes worked and we were touring after a short trial. Pedalling is required, but the electric assist does most of the work. Felt very secure with Scott's guidance and he kept a comfortable pace for us 60 yr olds. Great experience and guide. Thanks Scott.

    Scott shared a wonderful tour of the Bend area. Part of it was more rural and countryside which was spectacular and some of it was the phenomenal infrastructure that Bend has installed for bicycling. We got a very unique view of town and Scott shared his insights. Scott's instructions on how to use the e-bikes was spot on and his ongoing instruction regarding how to travel the terrain was perfect. He was very patient with us and we really enjoyed his company.

    The most fun adventure you can have in Bend. Riding an electric bike is so pleasurable and the assist makes it so you can ride many different terrains and cover a lot of ground. Being able to do it without worrying about cars makes it even more spectacular. I hadn't ridden a bike (that wasn't stationary) in a few years, and an e-bike only once, but with Scott's wonderful instructions I was able to ride safely and comfortably. Can't wait to come back with friends and experience it again.

    Lastly, at the close of our fun afternoon, Scott gave us some great dinner recommendations which did not disappoint. Thanks!!!

    This was the first time on e-bikes for all four of us in the group. Scott was a terrific teacher, with clear instructions, time to practice, and tips along the way as the conditions changed. The route was very interesting, from a remote-feeling lookout on a gravel path to city parks and the bridge overlooking Bend Whitewater Park. Scott had hot chocolate to warm us up and offered great suggestions for local places to eat. Highly recommended!
