Tours & vacations in 2019 & 2020

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...

Traveling with our friends. (more)Deborah Beauchamp

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

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

In the morning of Day 6 we drove along a Canal, the sun was shining and the Autumn Trees were reflecting in the water - that was the best part of the trip. The Crew (Skipper, Chef and Host) were really nice. The food was excellent. (more)Eva Gertsch

Memorable parts? The biking days were fabulous - all abit different and nothing too demanding. We loved the day following an old railway line past the old railway stations that have been reinvented as cafes. Our favourite part of each day was trying out the tapas bars that Allan recommended - a week wasn’t long enough to get around them all! Tips? It was warm and sunny - pack a sunhat and sunscreen. Plan to have a few days in Palamós as well - it’s got a great community atmosphere... (more)Jude Mckenzie

Memorable parts? Too many to mention! Accommodation was great! Paddle boarding was great!! Sea kayaking amazing! Cycling brilliant and sailing relaxing!! Tips? Take the bus if you’re flying into Barcelona. Local benefits? The showers were all heated by solar power. All the people who ran the activities seemed to be local Catalan and although we considered hiring a car to transfer from the airport it was totally unnecessary. Ideally we would have travelled by train rather than... (more)Vicky Taylor

We had an excellent vacation and hope this persuades many others to explore Eastern Algarve, maybe on e-bikes if they want the freedom of being on two wheels without the straining up hills under a hot sun. (more)Angus Cambell

Memorable parts? Cycling through the Otjiwa Game Reserve alongside Rhino, Giraffes, Wildebeest and numerous other animals with no fences between you and the wildlife. Hearing the lions roaring while camping at Etosha National Park and watching Elephants, Rhino and Giraffe drinking at the waterhole. Enjoying the vast open plains, red sand dunes and watching the seals lazing on the beach and flamingos flying over the lagoon along the Skeleton Coast on an (optional) scenic flight. Drinking sundowners... (more)Jennifer Steward

The trip was well run and the head guide was able to make small adjustments as needed. (more)John Delia

Most memorable for me was the window into the lives of Cubans. I learned a lot from our guide and the staff, but I had the chance to talk to many Cubans throughout the course of the tour. I will remember Cuba as a place with great untapped potential for economic development and growth. (more)Cynthia Gilliam

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
