  The tour guide is local(Samuel). So he knows where to bring people to. He is kind and answers as much questions as you ask. He is open to comments and critics and flexible with modifying the plan based on what people in the group think. This tour because of its unique choice of locations and specifically the use of bike is my recommendation to whoever wants to wander in this region. Just ask the tourguide about biking rules. He might forget telling you.

  I enjoyed the tour very much and I highly recommend it for all those who like to ride on a bike. This was my first time on an electric bike, and I was a bit nervous about that. I soon found out that there was no need to worry, because Kent, our guide, explained quite well how it works and gave us an easy start and guided us with the technicalities along the way, and also told us about things of interest. The three and a half hour tour took us through beautiful scenery with lots of stops for photos and also for refreshments.
