    *Note: bike riding is not permitted on the pier.

    15 minutes

    This is a spot where celebrities used to hang out and party. We swing by for a few quick stories.

    15 minutes overlaps with longer attraction times and is part of the total 3 hour tour.

    15 minutes
  • Venice Beach

    Venice Beach vibrates with activity. An original hippy hangout that still maintains an eclectic vibe and an anything goes attitude. We'll check out all the best attractions along the beach.

    5 minutes
  • Venice Canals Walkway

    The Venice canals are a hidden gem. Bicycle is the best way to see this quaint neighborhood. We'll show you why they call it Venice and tell you how these canals got here. I bet you'll want a photo.

  • L.A.'s Iconic Lifeguard Towers

    All along the beach standing like sentinels are the iconic lifeguard towers. You've seen them in movies, on the internet, in TV shows, commercials and more. We can appreciate them as we roll on by or by special request get close for a photo. You may get sand in your shoes or go barefoot for this shot.
