Rentabike @ Docklands Bike Tours

Streetwise Tours

Streetwise Tours believe that a city can't always be experienced by sticking to the road most travelled.  Streetwise bicycle tours are the perfect introduction to Melbourne. They show you many must-see highlights of Melbourne but, as you are on bikes, you still have time to get to some little-known gems.

People riding bicycles do not contribute carbon to the atmosphere, which means tours are the most environmentally friendly option for travellers to Melbourne! Not only is Streetwise's transport green, but most of the tour highlights are green; from the Yarra River trail to Albert Park, they ensure you experience the natural beauty of the city and understand what Melbournians are doing to improve the environment.

Melbourne is made for cycling – it has a flat topography, beautiful parks and waterways, and a mild climate year-round. With the city's continued investment in developing its network of bike paths, cycling is the perfect way to experience Melbourne, so check out the Streetwise Tours website. and go for a ride.

Tours start from $30
