It was a really hot day and this was taken into account - the ride was nice and relaxed and at a good pace We saw lots of the city and our guide talked us through some of the history of the city. One of the highlights was the view of the bridge 👌🏻 Overall would highly recommend
Loved this tour. Everything about it was 5 star worthy or more. I am specially grateful to them for accommodating us at our request last minute. Saw so much of Bristol city center and the harbor area - the patience and the charm of our guide made it extra special. Her name starts with J and she is Greek. They even allow to go the markets for quick Look inside and the guide offered to take care of the bikes. All in all we enjoyed ourselves and went to areas which would have been missed otherwise.
I recommend this tour to everyone. Such an amazing way to learn about beautiful Bristol and its history!
Luke was an excellent guide with so much knowledge about and love for Bristol. We were taken to great spots, including street art (also Banksy‘s girl with the pearl earring), the famous suspension bridge and much more. Cycling was good fun and we were lead very professionally and safely through different parts of Bristol. I can highly recommend both: our guide and this tour!
The experience was really interesting and made more fun that you were on a bike. Mike, the guide, was knowledgeable and made it a really great expedience. Thank you
Ben was a great tour guide. I went on a different city walking tour earlier in the day before the bike tour with Ben, and there was a lot of overlap but I saw a lot more on the bike tour. If I had to choose again, I would definitely book this bike tour only. Highly recommend!
A really great way to get to experience the city. We learned loads about the culture and history of the place, and it really helped orient us to plan what to do with the rest of our stay.
Luke saved the day with a walk about in the rain instead of a cancellation. Very much appreciated as I was only in town for one day. (And he knew where to find cover from the rain!) His knowledge of the history of Bristol is amazing.
Terrific and fun way to see Bristol with a local. There are extensive bike paths throughout Bristol so it’s easy to get around. Our guide was knowledgeable about the city’s long and colorful history. I highly recommend for anyone in the mood for plain old good time!
