“This was an ebike tour on mostly paved road through some beautiful countryside. Our guide chose an easier route for us, due to our lack of knowledge regarding the operation of the bikes. The ride could have been more of the challenging mountain bike experience if we had not needed to learn how to use the bikes first. Manos was very kind and patient with our group. The bikes and equipment were in good shape. It was a very fun day with a stop for a beverage at a local taverna.”
