Guidekin's take

An easy paced ride through the historic centre and the newer riverside districts with a local guide, bike, helmet and bottled water included, starting from the operator's shop rather than a hotel.

It suits anyone comfortable on a city bike; children ride only with an adult, and gratuities are extra. 4.89 from 140 reviews at €35 per person.

In our comparison: #5 of 6 in Bike & E-Bike Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
