“We had a great time , Dan our guide was awesome , really engaging and brought the group together and took lots of photos for us. Someone in group had a flat tyre so Dan stayed back extra and advised us where to walk around for few minutes till replacement arrived. He extended the tour time to compensate for the lost time. The staff at the bike shop could have been friendlier , no one smiled and just kept us pointing from one place to another with minimal communication.”
