Tandems are great fun - We have had a great time riding and doing light touring on ours. I'd say it is tiring for both riders though, or potentially VERY tiring for you as the main power source. Going downhill is no problem, but uphill is much harder than on a single.
Maybe look into an e-tandem or converting one?

Wheeler Proline - aka Speelo Wheelo
This is an actually finished project for once, besides the saddle that needs changing. During lockdown my wife wanted to take up riding, so I built this basically NOS 1993 Wheeler up to her spec. She's got various fun chronic illnesses including something called Ehlers Danloss Syndrome (EDS), which means she's in all sorts of fun pain and her joints have a really hard time with any sort of stress. So swept bars with a load of rise were the order of the day, and it's basically her ideal bike now. The only thing is that we want to tour together and her health means her body can't handle the sort of repeated days of riding that she wants to do, so the next thing is to sort out an ebike for her (or maybe a tandem...). The Wheeler won't be going anywhere mind you!
