    Our tour guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. The only issue we had was with the breaks on my fiancé’s bike, the breaks didn’t work and he fell from his bike onto concrete. He said he was fine but was hurt. I would do the tour again but check the breaks before you get on the bike.

    We were two with our guide for our excursion in French. The organization via the Internet, the welcome, the instructions from the reception and the guide, the adjustment of the bicycles, were professional. The guide's information was informative and well placed along the route. A good investment to have an overview of the sector.

    Despite the rain our tour guide took my friend and I out on our tour and boy was it worth it! Very personal as it was only the 2 of us on the tour with Bryan (our comedian of a tour guide) so we had great craic while exploring the city from the cycle lanes! Autumn was a beautiful time of the year to explore the city! Definitely recommend this as a good way to tour the city!!!
