We had a wonderful time with Popi! It was just the two of us, she made sure we were comfortable and safe all of the time and she was a great tour guide. She went at our pace and we most certainly covered more of the town than we ever would have on foot! It was a nice selection of long stretches and shady streets along with a wonderful bit of speed along the harbour. The short photo stops were also much appreciated! Thank you!

wow! excellent tour. we'll planned and well done. The immensity and the length of the walls of the old town become much more apparent riding all around them. The guides were great, and the ebikes made it possible to ascend to the high point even for someone as out of shape as I am. Highly recommend this

Great and very friendly guides and good bikes. We enjoyed the tour because we saw a good variation of the medieval town inside and around the old town. The sunset view was amazing.

Great tour with knowledgeable guide,good quality bikes, a great way to see the town.

Very good tour, very interesting and easy to follow!
