Memorable parts?
The whole trip was memorable... Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. I think the most exciting part of the trip was when we were biking to Pisa and got our first glimpse of the leaning tower. It was so surreal!
Tips?
The Tuscany route offered is pretty challenging. When we booked this trip was described as light to moderate in difficulty however after finishing the tour and talking to the tour operator we were told it was one of the hardest... (more)Manpreet Anand

Loved the fact that this worked so well for my husband and I - he's a serious recreational cyclist and I'm an avid cyclist but more casual in my approach. We're '50 something's' and found this all very enjoyable. (more)Beth from Canada
What a fantastic vacation! Cycling each day down a new route, through vineyards, small hamlets, to the beach! A vacation quite different to anything we had both been on before. (more)Claire Hermolle
It was well organised. (more)Jane Coward

Great. Would definitely now consider another cycling vacation with this company. We enjoyed the experience of cycling through the countryside and to the beach then stopping off for lunch and a beer. We saw so many lovely places. (more)patricia houston
We all enjoyed it immensely...I think seeing the first medieval village and cycling through the deep countryside were the most satisfying experiences. For others it might have been stopping for the first beer at a village café. Or the fantastic burger and chips in Ripli when we were all tired and hungry. (more)John Lowdon
Very good..Cycling through the countryside and to and from the beach. Also the food was fantastic. (more)Wendy McCaffer

If, like us, you like something to do on vacation and for all the family to be happy, then this vacation is an excellent choice. It would be ideal for an Easter break when perhaps less hot for longer cycles. (more)Jackie Robertson
Best bit: Visiting a new part of Spain. (more)Alan Spencer
Very good...La Rectoria accommodation: comfortable ease, nothing a problem, beautiful rural location, delightful hosts and delicious food. (more)Lorna McCourt

Excellent. Accommodation was first class. Hosts were excellent. Environment refreshing and relaxing. The vacation lived up to the blurb on the website! (more)Brian Flynn

I thoroughly enjoyed the vacation & the food & cycling were excellent. (more)Belinda Perry
Biking through the towns with our tour guide, Inka, who was an exceptional leader. The ride was challenging, leisurely, and culturally rewarding! (more)Michael Chirichello
I really enjoyed the vacation. All 18 of us got on very well and each day's cycling was just the right amount of cycling and sight-seeing. Martin & Marjorie's hospitality and food were excellent. Our cycle guide, Yon Willan was fantastic and I will miss having him around! (more)Joanna Moncrieff

Memorable parts?
My daughter and I stayed here at the beginning of July. We found the accomodation was amazing and very well kept. Being able to cycle, self guided to some wonderful and challenging locations and experience the local culture was wonderful. Sharing meals with the other guests when we ate was fantastic to be able to meet other like minded people. Gareth and Fiona were always on hand to help us plan routes etc and also take us out to local towns in the evening when the kitchens... (more)sue bound

Memorable parts?
The most memorable part of the vacation was the environment of Andalucia itself. The main thing that contributed to the success of the trip was the group leader, Shaun Allan, who I cannot recommend highly enough.
Tips?
The cycling was just the right side of challenging but I would warn other travelers to make sure they can cope - a couple within our group struggled.
Local benefits?
The group did spend money locally on food, drink etc and I would guess... (more)Chris Povah

on vacation this cycling hol must benefit the environment.

Memorable parts?
The outstanding bike ride from near Dalat to near Mui Ne.
Tips?
It's HOT in the Mekong Delta in March! I knew it would be and yet I wasn't really prepared for how hot it really would be!!
Local benefits?
I saw nothing that negatively impacted the environment unnecessarily. We stayed and ate in what appeared to be locally owned establishments. I do wish there was an alternative to the constant use of plastic bottles of water. I'm not sure what the solution... (more)Jayne Bradbury

Memorable parts?
Cycling through some beautiful areas of Italy with a great, mixed group.
Tips?
Get some cycling practice in - most of the riding is on quiet roads, so worth getting used to traffic.
Local benefits?
Not sure it particularly benefited local people, although meals were often in local restaurants.
Overall rating?
Absolutely fantastic and memorable. (more)Michelle Bickle
