Just a lovely relaxing time - bike routes well marked, flora & fauna interesting, pubs perfectly placed for provisions....Really good. Off peak, so avoided crowds. B&B accomodation was lovely - spacious, hospitable & accomodationg.
(more)Every day was an adventure so it's difficult to pick a highlight. We cycled a day off road around the country side in the south-east of the island which was great fun. (more)There were many high points, but the best of all was seeing the Miyako Odori (Cherry Blossom Dance) in the Gion district of Kyoto. (more)4.5 Stars---Bert knows what he's doing and understands the concept of mixing a bicycle trip with the opportunity to explore Southern Portugal --Have Fun...The trip was a pure and delightful adventure - The route was challenging in places and yet it was balanced overall. (more)Hmmm, so many good bits. Seeing such diverse parts of the country with such different landscapes - all within 140 miles; having the route to ourselves most of the time; meeting the challenge of a three-day cycle with quite a lot of big hills; meeting lovely people; great B&Bs etc. (more)Excellent... Cycling down the Ooty Hill, the views were breathtaking, as well as visiting the orphanage.
(more)All the contacts with the friendly and smiling local people while riding on our bikes or sitting with them in a boat and crossing the lake. This "slow" travel is the best way to see, live and experience. (more)
It was a great experience and also a wonderful example of family bonding. I had done something like this before which was the reason I knew about it - but my children and husband were pretty dubious at the prospect. In the end they absolutely loved the whole thing and fell in love with the Masai guides.
(more)One of the best vacations I have been on. The itinerary was really well designed and the vacation was well organised. We really got off the tourist map and saw some amazing sights. (more)
The most memorable part of the vacation for me was staying in a beautiful old-style Chinese town, Shaxi, currently only reachable by cobblestone road. It was a complete joy to stay in a traditional Chinese house with the rooms set around a courtyard. (more)
I enjoyed the cycling through Morocco the most. Some of the scenery was stunning in the anti Atlas. (more)We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review.
