The Experience

Before You Go

Choose quieter times

Book a morning or late-afternoon departure to avoid peak traffic and enjoy cooler temperatures near the river.

Bring a lightweight lock

If you plan to step off your bike for a cafe or museum stop, a compact U-lock or cable provides quick security.

Hydrate and snack

One bottle of water is provided, but carry an extra and a light snack for energy during longer custom routes.

Communicate mobility needs

This private tour can adjust pace and route—notify guides in advance if you need child seats or a gentler route.
