Would recommend this tour, even for anyone not overly confident on a bike, as 98% of route was on cycle paths and avoided traffic. E-bikes were simple to use and took very little effort at all. Would definitely recommend.”

“I’ve started doing a bike tour our first day in a new city to get a sense for the sites and the history. It’s also a great way to stay awake if we have jet lag. This tour was especially good. We went places we never would have seen on our own (monastery near the castle, park overlooking the city, and the John Lennon memorial wall, for instance). Thomas was very knowledgeable and chose interesting stops with importance on many levels (art, history, politics, culture, etc.). Two warnings: Prague is quite hilly so choose the e-bike option unless you’re training for the Tour de France, also, going down steep cobblestone…”
