Josh was such a great person to deal with. We had a group booking and he was very accomodating. Excellent communication, unbelievable service and the best memories made. Leave the e-bikes behind and take a scooter to experience the city. Easy to manoeuvre and park when you want to pop in and out of your favourite establishments. A perfect way to enjoy a ladies weekend away.
