Los Angeles Tour, "LA IN A DAY," Breaks New Ground in LA Tour Biz - Bicycle Tour Offers Street View

Sept. 23, 2011 - PRLog -- A sightseeing tour of LA can be by car, limo, bus, or even by foot.  But, in our eco-conscious times, travelers want more. They’re frequently looking for a five-star experience that combines an adventure with a workout. That said, LA’s savviest travelers are discovering that nothing compares to seeing Los Angeles by bicycle.  By consistently ranking five out of five stars on  Trip Advisor, Bikes and Hikes LA is one startup making huge waves in LA’s local tourism industry.  

One BHLA guest from England, David Dinnell, put it this way, "I came to Los Angeles last year, googled things to see in LA, and discovered a brand new touring company, Bikes and Hikes LA. It really was one of the high points of my trip. One gets so conditioned to being stuck behind the wheel of a car that to see LA attractions at street level was something of a revelation.” Dinnell adds, “I've just returned to LA and Bikes and Hikes is now firmly established and thriving, no surprise there."

Owner and frequent tour guide, Danny Roman, points out the many advantages of touring by bike.  "First of all, you’re not stuck in grueling Los Angeles traffic," he laughs.  "With so many things to do in Los Angeles, we offer tours of the best places to visit in LA. Plus, spending five hours in the sun with the wind in your hair is way better than being wedged in any kind of tour vehicle. We truly are an eco friendly way to tour." Here's a video about the tour.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A63s2zzkf2Q



According to Danny, "The most popular of the tours offered by Bikes and Hikes is the LA IN A DAY adventure. If you want to see the best attractions in LA in one exciting day, then this is the tour for you.  LA IN A DAY was developed with everyone in mind from native Angelenos to visitors.  This is most complete tour of Los Angeles - from the countless celebrity homes we bike past in Beverly Hills & Bel-Air to our city’s famous beach towns. You can’t beat it for a group tour of Los Angeles.”

The concept is so novel and fun that Bikes and Hikes has been featured on both theCBS and ABC News.  In fact, LA IN A DAY recently ranked 9th on the “30 Things We Love” list in the September 2011 issue of Where Magazine, Los Angeles.  "We are constantly adding new tours which can be found on our website at www.BikesHikes.com,” notes Danny.  "As the name implies, we now offer local guided hiking adventures, our most popular being a twilight tour of the Hollywood Hills.”
