He showed us the where the billboard was and allowed us to take pictures. He was intelligent and allowed us time to enJOY some shops, take pictures and enJOY conversation. It was a wonderful way to see the island I live on as I sometimes feel like a tourist as I do not know the city very well. But I do now, or at least far better than I did…”

“We went to different venues than what was listed in the tour descriptions. There were no food or drink deals or discounts. There was also no guidance or direction when dropped at the first venue. It was also interesting because some people had wristbands on that gave them free food and drink and the others had nothing and paid full price for anything they wanted to order. Also, there were several people who could barely get onto the bike which makes me think.it should be better advertised. The leader of the tour was nice and gave a great tour while riding”
