It was a little intimidating on bike with so many pedestrians, but Bruno kept it safe and even served us charcuterie boards and wine in a little shop. I would highly recommend this tour to friends.”

ALSO the server (ed Sheerans younger self) was very charismatic and an amazing host. He was so enthusiastic and energetic and just amazing.”

When we spoke to her on the phone she said she would give us a refund but we have not seen that come back into our account. We are very upset with this service and would not recommend to anyone”
