History
The HT4 tours began on January 10, 2009 as the eco-adventure history on wheels with about 5 participants. The original tours were written up in the Miami Herald, Hollywood Gazette and other articles.
The company was started as the owner became aware of the intriguing history and tradition unique to Hollywood (FL), with its early beginnings in the 1920s, the visionary City founder, Joseph Young and the current focus of the City government on investing in art and culture. From the beginning the City embraced the idea of a city-wide bike tours. The distances were adjusted and the word "history on wheels" was changed to "eco-adventure kewl bicycle tours" to make the events more appealing to tourist and the general public.
