Rob G kept us safe along the 4 hour tour and made the experience memorable. I rate this event far better than our tour of Neuschwanstein castle. The company provided comfortable and well equipped e-bikes and offered us helmets and even gloves . We absolutely would repeat the tour. The cost is exceptionally a great value.
