“Excellent guide - very informative.. There were a couple of E bikes in the group with novice riders.. would have liked there to have been some instruction or confirmation that everyone was comfortable with their bike choice before departure.. the check in was very busy and quite chaotic (could have been better organised between pre booked tours and walk ups) A deposit of $1 was taken from my credit card.. it wasn’t explained what it was for and it wasn’t returned. It was enjoyable experience overall.”
