Overall rating

(5,697 reviews)

We enjoyed this activity. The guide was very informative and she had a personal connection to the Cathedral through her family, and growing up in the surroundings. The tour was good as she spoke into a microphone that went through to our headphones so we could hear everything clearly even though the group was fairly large. There were quite a lot of steps to climb in the Cathedral but the views over the city were great. There were beautiful chambers and paintings in the castle. Both the Castle and Cathedral were worth a visit.

This was a last minute booking for us and it didn’t disappoint! The tour was very informative and featured an audio guide. It was a fun and unique way to see the city in a short space of time! Our guide was helpful and knowledgeable and even let us get off and have a walk around and inside one of the churches, giving us as much time as we’d like. Definitely a must do and would recommend to anyone considering booking!

Loved the fact you could pay a little bit extra and cancel up to an hour before. Great for those trying to squeeze as much in as possible. Without this feature we would not have booked as we weren’t sure how long the salt mine tour we were doing in the morning was going to take. Andre was great

Great tour, I would recommend it to everyone. You see so much more with a bike, especially when you don’t have much time. Our guide Chris was very nice and had interesting stories to tell.

Andrew was the guide and he was very informative. I really enjoyed his humor and made the tour even more enjoyable. The cadence of the tour was perfect as well.
