★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 154 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $53

“Our guide Leo was fantastic. We really enjoyed the tour because it gave us a very good overview of the city. Bikes were good and felt safe. The only gripe I have was that we were on time to start the tour at 9 am but we had to wait 3/4 hr for people of the cruise ship so it was a much later start than we planned on. That could not be helped so overall would highly recommend this tour if you are a confident ebike rider in busy areas. Lots of fun!!!”
