“We loved the tour, bikes were very fun and a great way to see the city. Hosts were friendly and the food was delicious. The hosts put a little too much emphasis on the need for us to give a positive review and this was a little over the top as it was repeated throughout the tour. The hosts were fantastic but perhaps the manager could put less pressure on them for reviews?”

In the front row, there was a table for 4 people that was empty all night. What a shame! Mediocre food and service, €130 is an exaggeration. At 9:30 pm, the taxi was pushing for the return.
