    I had mixed views on this tour. The tour guide was very good, approachable and helped whereever possible but what was really disappointing for me was the bikes. They were sub standard. The gears slipped, the wheels werent balanced and the brakes were faulty. Even after they went for a service they still werent good enough. This spoilt the overall experience for me. Please invest in some good quality bikes for future.
