"While on a date with my girlfriend, Sarah, in the centre of Bath, I saw the most impressive looking trike! Sarah saw my enormous smile the moment I spotted the gleaming chrome trimmed machine.
I'd been planning for some time to ask my girlfriend for her hand in marriage, and when she announced that she had booked us a ride with Razorcat Tours I saw it as a wonderful and original way to propose.
Our tour guide was a big friendly man with whom we were perfectly at ease, calling "Uncle Stuart". He was fun, competent and interesting with a wealth of knowledge about the local area of Bath and Bradford-upon-Avon.
Warm winter wear was supplied for all enjoying the ride by Razorcat Tours and the ride was comfortable and fun, both for my 5'0" girlfriend and myself at over 6 feet tall!
The ride itself was a fantastic experience and memorable too with magnificent views. During the tour Uncle Stuart parked up for a photo shoot, at which I grabbed my chance to propose! It was a delightful day. Christopher J" February 2011
