You will communicate with your guide via a bluetooth headset which is integrated in your helmet.  

The duration of the Tour depends on the tour you will choose and the traffic. Along the way we’ll do some stops for explanations and photos. We do not visit the interiors of the attractions. Our aim is to give you a broad and deep overview of the city whilst experiencing the authentic local lifestyle.

After the tour, you will be ready to explore further on your own. Therefore we advise you to book a tour at the beginning of your stay! We will give you a lot of tips for the rest of your stay. At the end of the tour you will know exactly where you want to spend more precious time during the rest of your holidays.
