Good Tour. Rough Start.
We signed up for the bike tour of Strasbourg and arrived at the meeting point to be told by a lovely guide (sorry, I've forgotten her name) that the earlier tour wasn't back yet and we would have to wait because there weren't enough bikes for us to take our tour. In the end, our guide rented city bikes from a local station so we could depart---two other women decided they would come another day since there weren't enough bikes for all of us. The tour was informative and interesting, and we very much enjoyed our guide, but the beginning was rough and felt unorganized. We had wished there were enough bikes for everyone.
