This experience was amazing. We would’ve never gotten to see all the places that the tour guide took us. He was very informative and it was very fun. It also started to sprinkle a little bit and he had actually prepared with rain jackets for us, which was super helpful.. highly recommend, especially if you do not love being around all the crowds. This was a perfect afternoon.

Amazing experience on this e-bike tour. You cover around 20 miles in 3-4 hours but it feels like nothing. Our guide Molly was great! No shortage of views, adventure and just the right mix of stops and plenty of time for photos.
