“L'activité était très sympa si vous aimez le vélo. Nous n'étions que notre famille. C'était fidèle aux descriptions de l'activité. En revanche, nous avions demandé un guide français comme l'offre le proposé, pourtant notre guide ne parlait pas français. Son anglais était cependant très bien, il parlait distinctement. Tous le monde peut comprendre même en étant pas fort en anglais. Le seul point un peu négatif était donc la langue.”
