We'd love to offer tours for less of course. However, we are at the mercy of the market place. Hotels, vehicles, fuel, Electric bikes, 2 local guides/drivers, food, activities are expensive on the Island. We have not increased any prices in fact many prices we are providing at cost. We also have added costs that you never see like insurance , licenses, gratuities for food servers on tour are mandatory 20% when in a group etc. 

 We offer top quality tours and the price is the price. 


When ever we have a group event like dinner, grotto tapas, breakfast, picnics they are all included.

When we go to Coombs for example its such a fun place to explore. Some might prefer to use their time to shop and grab a light snack, others may decide to enjoy a meal. In this case we would not include.

Sure, just let us know. Remember to bring your helmet and bike lock.  ALL PENNIER BIKE BAGS & BASKETS NEED TO BE REMOVABLE. WE FOUND THESE BIKES DIFFICULT TO LOAD AND THEY TAKE UP VALUABLE SPACE.

Yes, while we still have costs to transport your bike, we can offer a $100 discount if you'd like to bring your own bike.

This is a 5 day tour with many more fun thing to do. You can ride in the broom Van with our other guide, they'd be happy for the company. You'll meet riders at the next stop.


You're paying for your hotel room alone. Doubles share a room and costs.


Provided Covid protocols ease we would be happy to connect you with another single on tour, with their permission. We would suggest chatting and getting to know each other before deciding if this would be a fit for both of you. You may just meet a new life long pal.

Warning: If for any reason during tour you decide this is not a fit, sorry we can not adjust or refund costs. You would be required to seek out another room option on your own at your own expense.


You don't need fancy bike cloths but stretchy pants or shorts do make riding more comfortable. We are not the fashion police however we do recommend not wearing denim while riding, trust us on this.  Keep your luggage to small small small did we mention SMALL. Storage space is limited.  Remember we have 12 ladies, 12 bikes, 12 helmets to store first!


If you're currently an Ebike rider distance is not a concern. However newbies you will find  your bum will give out far before your legs.  Daily rides will vary from 10km to 50km, of course all rides are optional.  


We have tried hard to keep costs down but as you know all things cost money, sharing costs with 10 people is what we  have based our tour on. We will review closer to date and go from there. You will be kept in loop.
