The tour climbs steep terrain that would be punishing on a regular bike; the e-bike motor handles the hills so you can focus on the neighborhoods and the 360-degree views.

The small-group format and electric van mean you travel quietly and stop longer at each viewpoint than a larger bus tour allows.
