Isaac was a fantastic tour guide, he was knowledgeable and friendly. He provided guidance on how to cycle safely through the park and gave plenty of opportunity to stop and enjoy the scenery. We thoroughly enjoyed!

One of the best experiences of our trip! There are a lot of hills and space covered so if you have not biked in awhile or not in great shape you will want to upgrade to an e bike to be able to enjoy this time vs working hard. Dan was our guide and he made it more fun by making the tour personal to each group involved. We took crazy pictures and danced on our bikes to great music! My teens loved this part of our trip--lots of smiles and laughs.
