Our tour was in October.
We started our tour at Portland castle that we got to see at the end of the tour. The shuttle bus that we took at the port only took a few minutes to get to Portland Castle which was the firat stop. Our tour guide, Peter and is wife Michelle were very knowledgeable of the area, but most of all they were caring and succeeded in helping us feel mat home in a foreign land. I'm a very healthy 86-year-old and a little after the first half of the tour my wife and I felt a little tired and Michelle offered to take us in her car to the rest of the stops (two more). The pub or small restaurant had tasty local food and excellent service. The views were stunning, and the rock quarry art was particularly interesting. Peter ushered us into a quaint church building where we were the only tour group there. I even had my picture taken from the pulpit! Pebble beach may not look like much in pictures, but the pebbles are bigger that you might think, and the expanse of the beach and the view is unique. If you have never used an electric bike, Peter will give an introduction to e bikes and let you practice. I am 86 years old and had never ridden an e-bike, but I found it was not that difficult.
If you want an active tour with interesting sites to visit and excellent guides, then this bike tour is for you.
