Not only is it a brilliant way to get around and see the sights, but it’s also a great deal of fun. The bikes are easy to use, both on road and off grid. And parking up was a breeze especially in busy August at the coast. The staff were really informative and helpful. Brilliant experience all round. Will definitely be doing again when I’m back. Thank you!”
