Frequently asked questions
Do you provide bicycles, or do we need our own?
The guide fee covers the tour, not the equipment; we'd suggest bringing your own bike or hiring one locally. Let us know if you'd like help finding a hire bike.
How demanding is the route?
The route is mostly flat, on cycle paths and quiet roads, and manageable for guests with average fitness. Some comfort cycling in traffic is helpful.
Is this suitable for families with older children?
Yes, it works well once children can cycle confidently and for some distance. Let us know your children's ages when booking so we can plan the pace and breaks accordingly.
