Great way to explore the city

Miguel was really good and knowledgeable about the city. We had driving rain but still loved the experience. There were 10 of us so he worked hard to keep us together in a very busy city

Bike+boat = good choice

Started on time. Bike is ok, not worse than any bike in the city. Perfectly guided by Luba across city’s must haves. Physically bearable for men, ladies and kids. Boat trip is cool! You have to go by yourself to the marina which is just 10 mins from the bike shop. Cheese is fresh, unlimited white/ rose wines, Heineken, soda drinks. Guide tells you some history of the city and main info about buildings. Recommend 👍

No Bike Ride…unable to locate the bike shop in time

We were using navigation on our phone to locate the bike shop at the address provided. We could not find it, so I contacted the guide. She could not give me directions from where we were to the shop and said they could not wait for us. When we got to the bike shop they had left. The bike shop owners were very nice and tried reaching her to find out where the group was, so we could catch up, but the guide would not answer her phone. We never got to do the tour. We did go on the canal cruise that was part of the package and that was well run and enjoyable.
