Memorable parts? The scenery and the food. Tips? You do need to be semi fit! Local benefits? Local shops and cafes would have benefitted in the smaller, out of the way villages Overall rating? 4.5 stars. Only negative aspect was the hotel on the first and final night in Avignon, The Ibis, where the rooms were tiny, like being in a cabin and did make us worry about what was to follow! However, the other hotels were all fabulous but then we had to return to the Ibis... (more)Anne Morrice

Memorable parts? Perfect mix of cycling, sightseeing and history lesson. Tips? However much you love the heat, and however fit you are, the fearsome midday sun can be hard to handle for some, so be prepared to swallow your pride and jump on the bus for a while. Local benefits? Difficult to assess how far the tourist dollar trickled down. I don't think we taxed the environment unduly. Overall rating? Excellent (more)David Bristow

Memorable parts? Terceira is a lovely varied island. The cycle routes combined lots of different terrains. It’s quite hilly but there are some amazing down hill slopes to enjoy ! There are some excelllent places to swim too. Tips? We felt pretty prepared - we were given a GPS but I like to have a map to get the bigger picture. A pannier would be a good idea too as the bikes had racks. We didn’t have one with us and used rucksacks instead. On some routes you go quite away without... (more)Katy Lee

Memorable parts? The lovely town of Gyor and the family hotel we stayed in there. The beautiful architecture in Budapest. Tips? Read the instructions through before you start - in some cases the extension detour miles are written after you’ve reached your destination. Ferries are easy to use, but plan your cycling to arrive in good time - they mainly operate hourly. Learn a few words in the language - they really appreciate the effort . Cafes are few and far between ..... pack yourself... (more)Sue McNuff
