"Get to know you tours"

Hello,

I’m happy to announce that Loudest Yeller Bicycle Tours is rolling along well since opening two months ago. 

Since opening we’ve had hundreds of people from all around the world ride around New York City on our Living City Day Tour and our Two Bridges Night Tour. Our yellow bikes are quickly becoming a typical sight around Lower Manhattan. 

Ironically, in our opening months New Yorkers have been our largest customer group. Tumblr sent a large portion of their staff on our tours as a way to thank some of them for their individual efforts and two larger groups as a way of introducing employees from different departments that wouldn’t otherwise have had an opportunity to connect. 

Our other large base of New Yorkers has been the result of an ad I ran oriented towards people who like the theater. While plays are fun they are always inside and don’t involve a light physical work out. A lot of our customers have come just to stretch their legs and hear some grand stories about New York’s colorful characters and learn a little bit about the city. 

Loudest Yeller Tours have turned out to be great “get to know you tours” which is for me, what bicycle tours of cities are all about. When I was designing the tours a lot of people asked if, “Are you going to get those funny ear pieces and have a microphone.” And my response was always, “No.” The reason why is because when you have a guide’s voice plugged directly in to your head you can’t talk to the person next to you. And while I think the city is incredible, the stories are fun and memorable and the bikes are great to ride… getting to know the people around you is always the best part of any tourist activity. 

The tours are $45 per person and last about four hours. You can read all about our tours here  We do offer private tours as well as corporate rates. Please let me know if you’re interested. 


Sincerely Yours,

Adam
