I was down near the Fremantle Railway Station on a Saturday a few weeks back, watching a group of twelve tourists straddle hire bikes they'd clearly never ridden before, waiting for a guide who turned up eleven minutes late with a speaker strapped to his handlebars. That's the kind of thing that makes me twitchy about recommending guided cycling tours Perth operators run, because for every outfit that nails it, there's one that treats the whole thing like a school excursion with a GoPro.
I've been on more bike tours, boat charters and bus loops than I can honestly count in this job, and one in particular — a coastal ride out past Scarborough that promised
