Dubrovnik

This bike tour was a highlight of our trip to Italy. Great to be on a bike- to ease sore feet from all the walking! Get to see a lot more than if just walking, too. Our guide Benedetta was friendly and knowledgable. Registering was easy- just pick the date and sign up.

Excellent guide. Funny, knowledgeable and open to questions. Lovely pizza snack at the end!!!

The booking and meeting place were well done. Our guide was friendly, and I think she can improve her delivery. Her English is fine, but she races through her commentary, going from one scene to another with very few pauses. I know she’s done it 100s of times, and it’s helpful for her to remember it’s the first time for the people on the tour, many of whom speak English as a second or third language. I noticed that some other tour guides went all the way up to the top of the dome with their groups. Not saying this is necessary. However, I recommend that our guide could slow down her delivery, check with participants before moving on.

We started the tour with a guide who was very friendly but didn't speak very good English as a result her commentary about the Duomo was stilted and a bit awkward (14th August 2017). We moved ourselves to join another guide from the same operator who was much better. I would strongly advise visitors to complain if the guide is poor as the Duomo is such an amazing place and you need to appreciate it to the full.
