E-Bike Tours/Rentals/Other Tours: Heritage Inspirations: (505) 988-5531 -They are brand new e-bike company that just opened in August inside the Loretto Inn. I believe the bikes are $40 for 3 hrs and they will give you a map of historic areas to stop, etc. Company is called heritage inspirations. Hours are limited so you'll want to call ahead to make sure but I definitely recommend a rental or even a full tour. You can let Angelise know that Kelly from A Vacation Different sent you :) (They also do other cultural tours that are amazing and have been doing those for years, check out their website for some ideas)
