We covered more ground in three hours than we would have in a day on foot. The training made everyone comfortable before we set off.

Eight riders, lots of stops for photos and stories at each memorial. Pick-up from the hotel was on time.
Our teenagers loved it. The pace was easy and the guide checked on everyone at every stop.
