Why Mike’s Bike Tours has become world famous
In 2008 Mike’s Bike Tours of Munich is proud to be entering its 14th year in business. Since our second season in 1996, we have had six guides work for five seasons or more each. Our guides love their job as Professional Entertainers and are proud to carry on our commitment to always strive for the ultimate degree of customer satisfaction and enthusiasm. We enjoy a strong team spirit and comaraderie among us, which is also part of what makes us unique and so much fun to be with. Our guides have always been talented and entertaining individuals who have consistently shared their experience, style and humorous material with one another and passed on their collective knowledge and know-how to the one or two "rookies" that we have every year. Our guides are not only invariably intelligent, knowledgeable, personable, entertaining and professional to begin with, but what really makes them extraordinary is the fact that they constantly get better, smoother, more refined and wittier as they do their job day in and day out, summer season after summer season. This is the primary reason why our tours are so unique and entertaining, and the result has been an incredibly positive buzz about the Mike’s Bike Tours experience that has gone around the globe and back. If you’ve heard it, you know we are not exaggerating one bit, if not, you likely soon will, and we hope you’ll be one of those spreading it. In summary, we have worked hard to achieve, and deserve, the reputation as the most popular city sightseeing tour company for English-speaking visitors in the whole of Europe, and we continue to do so.
Join us and you will almost surely have one of the best days of your entire trip and be glad to have experienced personally how good we really are. You’ll become a proud and appreciated member of a growing worldwide club and will have seen more of and learned more about Munich in 4 hours than most would on their own in 4 days! You’ll be part of an eclectic and energetic group chemistry and simply have a great time! In the end you’ll be rewarded with what will likely prove to be most valuable of all: fond memories of your experience with Mike’s Bike Tours that will keep you smiling for decades. We are and will always be the most entertaining and undisputably most popular sightseeing tour in Munich for English-speaking guests. Our policy has always been and will remain: Satisfaction Guaranteed, though it’s your enthusiasm we aim for and will achieve.
Meet our guides, The Professional Entertainers that make the Mike´s Bike Tours experience so unique, entertaining and impossible to copy!
Mike Lasher, founder of MBTs. Mike and his wife, Uschi, have six beautiful children ranging from 3 to 20 years old. Mike moved to Munich in October, 1993 and started MBTs in May of 1995. More on that story HERE. Interested in more? Visit "Mike´s Space" at this website.
Adam Connor has been a MBTs guide since 2004 and he´s one of the very best we´ve ever had. Beyond being an allround great guy, he is also an excellent guitarrist and song writer. His band Perez in South Africa was famous and had FOUR Number One hits in the charts. You can see him here in Munich with his new band, Go Panic. If he´s not your guide it could well be because he´s taken the day off to surf the Eisbach. He´s from Durbin and practically grew up on the beach.
Frankie has been a tour guide for Mike´s Bike Tours in Munich for over EIGHT years, and it shows in the quality of his tour. He is a true professional and great entertainer. We are glad to have him back with us again in 2008. Frankie has been around the world and done quite a few things professionally, such as boxing instruction, roller blading, hair styling, among other things.
Stephen McGill, a.k.a. Steve-O has got the typical Irish red hair, accent, wit and temperment. Nontheless, you´re guaranteed to love him. He´s young and brash, but manages to keep himself on his best behaviour for our guests, at least for five hours at a time. Ladies, he´s a real sensative guy deep down inside, so be careful with him. He´s not a plaything. To date, he´s the only MBT guide to ever have gotten an entire group to ride around town in their underwear. Check out the photo of them in the shop at the end of that tour HERE.
Drew Cormack worked as a MBTs guide for five seasons between 2001 and 2005 and is coming back for a working vacation in 2007 for the month of June only! Drew is as cuddly (and furry) as a baby bear and we are really glad to have him coming back, if only for such a brief time. Thansk to his friendliness, wit and charm, like all MBT guides, after four hours with him, everybody just loves ´em.
Taylor McKenna was back in 2007 for his 3rd season with Mike's Bike Tours. He originally came to Munich graduating from the University of Texas in 2004, and has had a hard time leaving ever since. Taylor exudes confindence through his energetic yet laid-back style. He´s also a real charmer, and the ladies just adore his sex appeal.
Siggi is our Contiki tour specialist and is back for his 6th season. His sexy Saffa (S. African) accent and great personality will ensure that you to an fantastic tour of our fabulous city. Siggi is from Cape Town, South Africa and has been living in Munich for the last seven years, so just as much as any MBT guide, if you want to know where to go and what to do in town, he is a great person to ask.
