Such a unique and engaging tour! It offered the perfect mix of discovering off-the-beaten-path historical treasures and seeing iconic spots . The fat-tire electric bikes were comfortable and safe on the bike lanes, making the 2-hour ride completely stress-free for our family. Being in a small group made it feel very personal, and the beautiful pictures taken by our guide were a huge bonus.
