Beetour Insider Secrets

  • Use the provided headsets; the vertical standard of the Beetour experience is the live intercom system, making it a necessity to hear the guide's anecdotes clearly while you are actually in motion.

  • Relax in the quiet streets; our agency finds that the route primarily utilizes safe bike paths and low-traffic side streets, making this a necessity for travelers who are typically wary of urban cycling.

  • Enjoy the tech; the vertical standard of the 2026 fleet is completely new electric bikes, which is a 10/10 vertical standard for reliability and battery life throughout the 22km loop.

  • Bring your own bottle; while the tour doesn't include water, the transition through the Old City provides a necessity for a quick hydration break, and your guide can point out the best local spots.
