While the summer is over, fall is here and that means the holidays are just around the corner. There’s no better way to to spend the holidays than to snuggle up with your loved ones on a crowded bus tour….amidst the LA traffic…said no one ever!
Are you interested in taking a tour of Los Angeles, but don’t want to sit in a stuffy bus in traffic? Take a bike or hike tour with Bikes and Hikes LA instead!
At Bikes and Hikes LA, we encourage our guests to skip the bus tours and to experience LA on our daily bike and hike tours! We have multiple options for the best sightseeing tours in Los Angeles; and they’re all outdoors.
Our motto is for guests to experience LA, rather than drive past it. We launch a number of daily hiking and bike tours, as well as infinite options for private outdoor tours, VIP LA Activities, and Los Angeles Teambuilding Events.
Our daily bike and hike tours are perfect for families and independent travelers looking to get outside and explore Los Angeles. Instead of riding on a crowded bus, our tours feature guided group activities through Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Griffith Park, and all over LA. Rather than hiding behind metal and glass on a bus, smell the gardens, soak up the sun, and spot a celeb or two in the great outdoors of Los Angeles. Our bike tours offer hop on/hop off options with plenty of stops for walking, taking photos, and soaking up the top LA attractions featured on the tours, and allow guests to get an incredible workout, rather than sitting on a bus…and of course, sitting in traffic.
Our LA in a Day bike tour (one of our most popular) features a 6-hour, 32 mile bike tour throughout Los Angeles. Guests will ride from West Hollywood to Beverly Hills, Bel Air, the beach, and beyond. This is a challenging, exhilarating outdoor tour where guests will experience the best neighborhoods in LA and get the workout of a lifetime.
For the star-struck among you, our Beverly Hills Movie Star Homes Bike Tour is the tour for you. This 2.5 hour, 10 mile tour is the perfect way to bike through the luxurious neighborhood in America, see the top homes owned by A-listers and celebrities, and learn all about this exclusive LA city. Guests will enjoy riding through the pristine streets and walking around the grounds one of Beverly Hills top filming locations, an expansive mansion in the hills featured in dozens of your favorite films and TV shows. You’ll get closer than you would on a bus!
Tell you what- there is *no path* that leads directly to the Hollywood Sign. Cars are unable to drive up there, either. Fortunately, our Hollywood Sign Hikes are the perfect option to hike for the best photos of the Hollywood Sign. We offer two top Hollywood Sign Hikes, our daily Hollywood Sign Hike (launching in the morning and at sunset,) and our private option for groups, the Ultimate Hollywood Sign Hike Tour. Both hikes feature spectacular views of the sign, 360 degree views of all of Los Angeles, and a superb outdoor hike through Griffith Park, the best place to hike in LA.
For guests looking for the best early morning hike in LA, join us on our Hollywood Hills Hike through Runyon Canyon, the top park to see celebrities in Los Angeles. This invigorating morning hike is the best way to beat jet lag, watch the sun rise over the city, greet celebs walking their dogs, and jump-start your day of sightseeing in LA. There’s no better way to cure vacation jet lag then to get an early start to your day on a hike; and if you’re lucky, you may spot a few famous faces on our jet-lag hike! Located in the heart of Hollywood, Runyon Canyon is one of the most popular places to hike in LA, and convenient for travelers looking to explore such Hollywood destinations as the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Dolby Theatre, the Sunset Strip, and more.
We have an incredible staff of LA locals who are passionate about showing you the best of our fair city. All of our biking and hiking guides have unique, extensive knowledge of the city, and individual tips for the best things to see in LA. Most of our guides have a background in entertainment, as well, so you’re in for a treat. You may be lead on your outdoor LA tour by a comedian, an actress, or radio host– so look out for them in the news over the next few years!
All of our LA bike tours come with the option to upgrade to an e-bike tour; you’ll be in for a faster, easier, and sleeker ride! On any of our outdoor tours, you’ll be able to burn off those extra vacation calories. Additionally, all of our private group LA hike and bike tours can be customized for groups’ needs and fitness levels, so we’re excited to work with you and tailor your teambuilding activity for your groups goals.
Bikes and Hikes LA prides itself on offering groups traveling to LA the opportunity to escape the prevalent traffic that plagues Los Angeles, and enjoy active, outdoor, eco-friendly tours for a unique experience on your LA vacation. All of our tours allow for guests to learn about the city’s history, get tips and recommendations from our expert guides on the best places to eat, drink, and be merry in LA, and get an excellent workout on the way. You’ll reduce the carbon footprint you create by flying to LA by offsetting your vacation with one of our biking, hiking, or other outdoor tours. Our group tours are a more personal, active way for guests to experience the best of LA tourism.
