The Experience
Before You Go
Bring layers
Temperatures fall quickly after sunset; a light jacket or windbreaker keeps you comfortable during photo stops.
Helmet fit
Helmets are supplied but a personal, well-fitting helmet improves comfort and safety on cobblestones and in traffic.
Watch for pedestrians
Expect to navigate short, busy walking areas—maintain a controlled speed and be ready to dismount where crowded.
Charge your phone and bring ID
You’ll want a camera for night shots; keep ID and a small card for incidental purchases after the tour.
