Karl was our guide, and he was great. Very knowledgeable about the numerous sites we visited and flexible as to what the group wanted to see and how long we stayed. Thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Quinn was an amazing guide! We had a wonderful time and would recommend the East City tour to anyone. The bikes were in great shape, too.

Fantastic day with Julian! Definitely a highlight of this trip. Thank you.
