5.00We had a great time on the ebike ride. Our tour guide Mika was VERY knowledgeable about the city of Bordeaux and we learned so much from him! He also took us to all areas of the city we could NEVER have found on our own. I would say to take this tour as soon as you arrive in town - then you will know where you want to return to see more. It feels like he took us to every single neighborhood- great guide and great tour! Be sure to read all his information carefully because although he sent me an email the morning of, confirming the location for us to meet - Viator sent us to a different location . It was ok - they were only about 10 minutes apart, but it was frustrating to have followed their directions. That is why he sends you an email first thing in the morning with the correct directions. He says that Viator is difficult to change. Enjoy!
Fantastic bike tour - highly recommend
