Kral was a great guide, leading us through traffic with confidence and ease, and it’s mostly in cycle lanes for a safe ride.. The route itself is mostly flat, except for the hill up to the obelisk. There’s a nice drink included too in a really lovely location. This bike tour gives you a good overall introduction to the layout of Lina and three of its districts.

We had a friendly guide with good humor and felt safe during the whole tour passing by beautiful places of the city. Would definitely recommend to do a bicycle tour and enjoy the fresh air of the sea around the face!

I booked this tour and I'm very happy! The perfect guide and driver and I learned a lot. The communication in perfect English, I spent a very good afternoon I recommend

Bike ride stopped at all sites as advertised and provided plenty of time for photos. Easy ride except for those that chose to ride up to El Morro Hill.

A very exciting bike tour. And at the end I got a wonderful video with photos of our race. 5 stars.
