Tours & vacations in 2018 & 2019

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

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

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? Walking from Correggia to Locorotondo, which turned out to be about 15 miles, we loved being in the countryside and seeing the trullis, flowers, olive groves and local people. Also the city of Matera, Ostuni and realizing how long this area has been occupied by homo sapiens. Tips? If doing a self guided tour, be sure that you have traveled a lot on your own. Local benefits? Sure, I can see where the tourist are helping the local communities, with jobs and... (more)Sarah Rahaim

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? Cambodia riding bikes through Angkor Wat and Vietnam riding backroads through villages. Tips? Make sure to bring medical (anti nausiand and diahrea) for food poisoning. Packing list provided should be more specific to exact tour ie/ hiking books were not necessary and were heavy to transport across the world. Local benefits? Not particularily Overall rating? 7 out of 10 (more)Lynda Taylor

Memorable parts? Riding the bike and seeing Mont Saint-Michel for the first time close up. Tips? Don't pack too much luggage. Local benefits? We went to small villages and and enjoyed there hospitality, as we always cruise on vacation this cycling hol must benefit the environment. Overall rating? It was a very good vacation, the routes were good and interesting, the bikes a little heavy from what I am used to, and a couple of the hotels we thought were tired, one was... (more)John Parker

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...

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
