What to expect
You'll cover both towns at a relaxed tempo, stopping to absorb surroundings rather than racing through landmarks. The route weaves through quieter neighbourhoods—residential streets, parks, and waterfront paths—where daily life unfolds away from crowded beaches. Expect conversation about the towns' 19th-century boom as fashionable retreats, their thalassotherapy establishments, and the cultural quirks that distinguish each place. Your guide shares personal connection to these streets, adding local colour to standard historical facts. The ride suits all abilities; your guide will confirm your comfort level beforehand.
