I’ve always wanted to try this, and this was a great opportunity. It’s close to Sacramento and it’s a short 10 mile ride (5 out and back). There is a guide in the front and back of the rail bikes, who make sure everyone crosses the roads safely, and will help if you run into any issues. The rail bikes also have an electric assist they can set to different levels, so everyone can ride comfortable. The ride passes through mainly farmland and river country. It was pretty but not spectacular. It was a great way to try and rail and decide if I want to try a longer trip next time. I think I will!

I had an amazing experience with IFly! From start to finish, the entire team was professional yet friendly, making us feel comfortable right away. Our instructor was fantastic – not only did they guide us expertly through the process, but they also showed us some cool tricks that made the whole experience even more thrilling. The customer service was top-notch, with everyone making sure we had a blast and felt taken care of. We’re definitely looking forward to visiting one of their locations again in the future! Highly recommend!

I loved the scenery with the green fields and red blooming catus and yellow flowers. The ride was fairly easy for me. I pedeled on the way back. My boyfriend and other friends all of us in our 60's, felt it was more moderate than easy. The guides were "beautiful ".

Lydia was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing! She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Old Sacramento. Lydia did an awesome job and I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in the paranormal!

Took my husband for his birthday. It wasn't crowded, so we had lots of space to walk around and enjoy ourselves. The music was great and reasonably priced drinks!
