This was a brilliant way to see the city. Lily our guide was just great. She tailored the tour to suit us and our 10 year old son who was really keen on the street art and graffiti. We went via streets and areas we would never have found by ourselves. Lily shared history and facts along the way and our son said it was the best part of the trip. I would highly recommend this to any family. The electric bikes also mean your feet get a rest from the city walking!!

It was such a unique experience! We really enjoyed every part of it- well balanced, with lots of information, lovely walk and endorphines at the end :) Martina as our guide was lovely, we really appreciated her company and experience!

Unclear information about the entrance to the garden. Were rejected because water games and then the card is not valid. sheep

It was a really fun experience for the whole family. Our guide was great and we visited some really interesting places.

Great experience did have to leave early and enjoy the sunshine will return thank you
