Thank you to the whole team at Bike the City for creating such a fun and memorable experience for a group of 19 women on a hen weekend from the UK. Our guides Renata and Paolo were excellent and both so knowledgeable about the city and its history. We all had the best time and definitely recommend this as a must do activity for anyone visiting Milan.
