Nice bike ride through Bristol - Before the bike tour we walked through the center of Bristol without a guide. It is not a tourist city and does not have a beautiful historic center. Our visit to this city was therefore initially disappointing. We had booked a guided bicycle tour in advance. Fortunately, because that ensured that we still had a very nice time in Bristol. Luke (our guide) has years of experience giving tours of Bristol. He had something to say about a wide variety of topics. From urban art to the construction of the SS Great Britain, big stories and small anecdotes, recent events and stories from the past... everything was covered during the tour. I don't want to reveal too much, because Luke can explain it much better than I can and it's also much more fun to be surprised during the tour. We can recommend this bike tour to everyone, as it is one of the best ways to explore the city.

Perfect 2 hour upload of Bristol! - Luke was our tour guide and was a wealth of knowledge when it came to the art /history or Bristol! Perfect way to get the highlights in a couple hours. And you get fresh air and exercise to boot!!

Best bike tour by miles! - Luke was great fun and we covered so much ground! A top experience and a fab way to see Bristol. Good to have historical elements mixed with modern day tales so everyone got something out of it and our guide was great.
