Several reviewers specifically mention returning or wishing they could come back, which tells you everything you need to know.
Avery was a pleasant tour guide. Go electric if you’re planning a tour. It was an easy ride and my body didn’t notice the time (2+ hrs) it took to travel to the different landmarks. At each stop Avery provided historical and current information that enlightened what you didn’t know or recall something you’ve learned.The stops allowed time for photo ops and a little break. After the tour, I felt great! I was very pleased with the experience. Perfect for novice, expert bikers might find it meh, however the historical information might soften those feelings. Most importantly, go electric!! ⚡️ 😉
