“Loved this tour and staying active while traveling - My family and I had a wonderful time biking with Ivan! The electric bikes were easy to use even for the amateur biker. We biked around what seemed like more than half of the lake and even up the mountain for some beautiful viewpoints. Included stop and local restaurant for lunch. You will definitely work hard but it is rewarding. Ivan did a good job keeping us safe and making sure we were okay during the ride! A must do if you like outdoor activities.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-21
