Q&As
Do I need any riding experience?
No. You ride as a passenger behind one of our professional, experienced drivers — just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Where does the tour start and end?
We pick you up free of charge anywhere within 3 km of the city centre, and drop you off there too — pick-up and drop-off can be two different places.
Do you provide helmets and rain gear?
Yes. Helmets are provided, and on wet days we hand out two-piece raincoats and stop at covered places along the way.
Can I bring children?
Yes — you can include children (2–11) and infants (under 2) in your booking. We confirm their prices when we reply to your request.

What if the weather turns bad?
Light rain doesn't stop us. If severe weather forces us to cancel, you can move to another date free of charge or get a 100% refund of the tour price, less bank fees.
