Let’s ride! - Great ride. The guide was fun and I felt very safe riding in this urban setting. (I recommends prior urban biking experience.) The instructions to the starting point were easy to follow.

Great bike tour with a background you get nowhere - The bike tour was great value for money: you see a lot and get a lot of interesting background (historical as well as recent) that you don’t get on the normal tours. Jefferson is a super guide with passion for his city and flient in English.
