The Experience
Before You Go
Morning or late‑afternoon rides
Schedule the tour early morning or late afternoon to avoid summer heat and get softer light for photos.
Bring a refillable bottle
Hydration stations are limited inside historic sites—carry a 500–750 ml bottle to stay comfortable.
Comfortable footwear matters
Although you’re on a bike, expect short walking stretches on cobbles and steps—closed-toe shoes with steady soles help.
Secure your belongings
Narrow streets and busy squares can be crowded; use a small lock or keep valuables in a secure daypack.
