“Fantastic way to explore the historical city centre, and cover a good amount of distance in this eco friendly vehicle, and cover some interesting points hidden in plain sight, which would otherwise be missed. Lot of stuff packed in one hour, and totally worth it. Absolute Value for money. Tour pics on my insta id vebic.”
