Private Bike Tours

Exploring Melbourne on two wheels is one of the best ways to take in the city’s rich culture, iconic landmarks, and hidden gems. Whether you’re planning a fun family outing or a unique group experience, a private bike tour offers the perfect blend of adventure, flexibility, and personalization. At Blue Tongue Bikes, we offer a variety of private bike tour options designed to cater to families, friends, and corporate groups, ensuring an unforgettable journey through Melbourne. Plus, with the availability of electric bikes (e-bikes), everyone can enjoy the ride, regardless of their fitness level or experience.

Family-Friendly Private Bike Tours

Melbourne is an incredibly family-friendly city, and a private bike tour is a fantastic way to explore it with your loved ones. Our family-focused tours are designed with safety and enjoyment in mind, ensuring that riders of all ages have a great time.

You can choose to explore Melbourne’s famous parks, like the Royal Botanic Gardens or Fitzroy Gardens, where you can ride leisurely and take breaks to let the kids run around. If your family enjoys history, we can guide you through historical sites such as the Old Melbourne Gaol or the Melbourne Museum. The tour can be as relaxed or as adventurous as you want it to be, with plenty of opportunities to stop for a family picnic or a sweet treat at a local café.

For families with younger children, we offer bikes with child seats or tag-along trailers, ensuring everyone can join in the fun. And with the option to use e-bikes, even parents with younger kids in tow can enjoy a smooth, easy ride.

Private Group Bike Tours

Planning a day out with friends or organizing a special group event? Our private group bike tours are perfect for creating lasting memories together. These tours are entirely customizable, allowing you to choose the pace, route, and stops that suit your group’s interests.

Explore Melbourne’s vibrant neighborhoods, such as Fitzroy, with its street art and eclectic vibe, or Southbank, where you can take in stunning riverside views. For groups interested in Melbourne’s culinary scene, we can design a tour that includes stops at some of the city’s best eateries, markets, and cafes.

If your group prefers a more scenic route, consider a tour along Melbourne’s famous Yarra River, where you can enjoy beautiful views of the city skyline and lush greenery. The flexibility of a private group tour means you can make spontaneous stops, whether it’s to snap a group photo at a picturesque spot or to enjoy a refreshing drink at a local pub.

And with e-bike options available, everyone in the group can keep up and enjoy the ride, regardless of fitness levels.

Corporate Group Bike Tours

Looking for a unique and engaging team-building activity? A corporate group bike tour offers a fun and active way to bring your team together outside the office. Our corporate tours can be tailored to meet your specific objectives, whether you’re looking to boost team morale, foster collaboration, or simply give your employees a refreshing break.

We can design a route that highlights Melbourne’s iconic business districts, cultural landmarks, or even scenic trails outside the city. Along the way, you can incorporate team-building exercises or challenges to make the experience both fun and productive.

For corporate groups, the inclusion of e-bikes can be particularly beneficial, allowing all team members to participate comfortably, regardless of their cycling experience or fitness level. After the ride, consider wrapping up the day with a team lunch or drinks at one of Melbourne’s many excellent restaurants or bars.

Customizing Your Private Bike Tour

One of the biggest advantages of booking a private bike tour with Blue Tongue Bikes is the ability to fully customize your experience. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, our knowledgeable guides can help you design a tour that aligns with your interests and preferences.

Want to explore Melbourne’s art and culture scene? We can take you on a journey through the city’s best galleries and street art spots. Interested in history? We can guide you through Melbourne’s historic sites and share fascinating stories along the way. Or perhaps you’re looking for a mix of everything—culture, history, food, and nature. Whatever your ideal tour looks like, we’re here to make it happen.

And if you’re unsure where to start, our team is happy to recommend popular routes and hidden gems based on your group’s interests. We also offer flexible scheduling, so you can choose the best time and duration for your tour, whether it’s a morning ride, an afternoon adventure, or even a sunset tour.

Why Choose an E-Bike?

For those who want to explore Melbourne without breaking a sweat, e-bikes are a game-changer. E-bikes offer pedal assistance, making it easier to ride up hills, cover longer distances, and keep up with the group without feeling fatigued. This option is particularly great for mixed-ability groups, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the experience at their own pace.

E-bikes are also perfect for older riders or those who might not be regular cyclists but still want to experience the thrill of a bike tour. With the added boost from an e-bike, you can focus on enjoying the scenery and the company rather than worrying about the effort of pedaling.

If you’re considering a private bike tour around Melbourne for your family, group, or corporate event, it’s best to book as early as possible. The sooner you reach out, the more flexibility we’ll have to tailor the perfect experience for you. Whether you’re looking for specific routes, special stops, or need to accommodate a large group, early booking gives us the best chance to arrange everything just the way you want it.
