Really great trip! Our guide, Julia, was the best! We did almost 14 miles and we didn't realize it due to the stops. It was a great ride through downtown. We look forward to trying other rides!

Our tour with Bobby's Bike Hike was amazing! It wasn't the most optimal weather, but still a great time -- Courtney was enthusiastic, informative, & fun. When booking another tour, I will try to do ones that she leads. The places we stopped were great as well -- my favorite being the chocolate shop at the end! I bought a scotcharoo that was TO DIE FOR. SO GOOD.
Response from Virgin Gifts
Hi Amanda, I know you were originally looking to take another tour and I'm happy to hear that we were able to send you out on an experience just as great, even though Mother Nature wasn't being cooperative. I'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Courtney! Nothing like a nice chocolate treat at the end of a bike ride right? Cheers, Inah
The experience was fun and the guy giving the tour was great but for the money we are paying for the food they give you its a complete joke. The serving sizes are ridiculous especially at the end with the "Mexican Mayan Chocolate" they don't even give you a full square of the chocolate bar LOL
Response from Virgin Gifts
Hi Luis, Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We're glad you had fun and enjoyed the tour guide, but we hear you on the portion sizes. It’s disappointing to hear the food didn’t match the value, especially with the Mayan chocolate treat. We’ll pass this on to our supplier to see how we can improve the experience for future guests. Appreciate the feedback! - Kay
