3 hour bike tour was Amazing. Requested a tandem bike and got that. It was hot in November, a bit unusual, but our tour guide, Damian, was very accommodating! His knowledge and experience was just what made him a fabulous host! We will come back to Miami and do another tour with him, if he’s available!
Highly recommend
