Book Quickly!
Tours are booked on a "First Come, First Serve" basis.
All tours are initially scheduled simultaneously, to give as many options as possible. However, once a particular tour is booked, all other tours scheduled for that date and time are removed from the calendar. I am a local, small, veteran owned, one person tour company and I am booked almost everyday, so don't think about it, just book it! Be sure you don't miss out on your tour!
If you don't see availability for your desired date/time, just give me a call or email me, and perhaps I can work something out. I have magic like that!
We are now more Inclusive!
We are proud to announce a new partnership with 3 Wheel Therapy!
Using a custom built TRIKE, 3 Wheel Therapy is a non-profit providing bike rides to individuals who are unable to ride a traditional bicycle due to a loss of coordination, balance, disability, or fear.
If you have a loved one with whom you'd love to share a tour, and they may need the assistance of 3Wheel Therapy, please contact me with at least 2 weeks notice to coordinate.
The TRIKE rider will ride for FREE! A voluntary donation towards 3 Wheel Therapy is suggested.

-
Once you meet up with your tour at the designated location, your guide will talk you through bike safety, etiquette, and general precautions for the tour.
-
Your guide will then escort your group to multiple locations around downtown Wilmington and beyond, including 2 breweries and a few great photo stops along the way.
-
Cruising around town on our E-bike is so easy. But don't worry, our bikes ride more like a traditional bicycle as opposed to a motorcycle, so as long as you can ride a bike, you’ll be able to use the E-Bike. Each E-bike comes equipped with a storage bag on the bike to carry personal items, "to go" beer, etc. Again, there’s minimal exertion with the E-Bike so you don’t have to wear athletic clothes, just something you can comfortably ride in. Be advised that we strongly discourage flip flops for this tour.
-
Our guided tours let you enjoy a leisurely ride around Wilmington while still giving you enough time to enjoy the brewery scene. The actual time spent riding the E-Bike is between 2.5-3 hours and covers a distance of around 12 miles.
-
To give everyone the best experience possible, we limit our tours to groups of 2-12
