We had a fantastic couple of hours with Lothar, who was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. The scooters are really easy to use, and you can cover a lot of ground quickly, but very safely. I really recommend doing this tour early in your trip so you can work out where you want to go! Thanks Phil & Zoe from England
