Memorable parts?
Riding the crazy streets of Phnom Penh on the first day, like you're in a computer game. Eating a power bar on a river bed after a two-hour push through mud. Seeing a small girl rowing a bath tub in a floating village on the Tonlé Sap. Beef loc lac. Fish amok. A chorus of hellos from children in every village. Hoem, the support van driver's laugh. Angkor Thom with no one there. Twin massage in Siem Reap. Water buffalo. Macaques. Iced coffee with condensed milk. The ice-cream... (more)Louise Brealey

It was fantastic - a really good way of seeing a country and having fun at the
same time. And perfectly organised. (more)Rebecca Brown
Very highly rated, if you are active and want a well planned mix of cycling, kayaking and walking in the depths of the Swedish countryside then go for it. A good vacation for families with teenagers (more)Mike Platten

I would go again without hesitation. A perfectly organized tour with enough space for individual changes. Well done! (more)Roman Holderbach
The most memorable part of our vacation was the time spent in a very remote area of Tanzania with the Masai. We were privileged to visit their homes and witness their day to day living. An amazing experience! (more)Susan Ducollet-Holliday
Brilliant! I have done supported tours in USA, Cuba, Brazil and Europe and this is the gold standard in terms of support, food, attention to detail, professionalism, friendliness etc. etc. I cannot recommend this company too highly. Go have fun! (more)Jane Thurnell-Read

Every day with new discoveries of Costa Rica, beautiful cycling experience, local tour leader Memo and his fantastic crew member Luís and Ronald, and variety of vacation experience in two weeks made this vacation the best I've ever been.

Local benefits?
Yes, absolutely, in all the trips (including optional) I felt that local people were supported in their business, be it a local restaurant... (more)Agne Bajoriniene

Memorable parts?
Climbing the Hai Van pass. We all made it to the top and were supported throughout by our guide Danh who gave us cold drinks and cheered us on. The food was also great and we were treated to genuine local cuisine, all delicious.
Tips?
Take more money than recommend, especially if you want to take presents home or drink wine with you evening meal. Some people couldn't get money out of the ATMs so tell your bank that you are going to Vietnam. You don't really need US... (more)Cath Lysley

Cycling through such varied landscapes was spectacular - the dunes were AMAZING!
Tips?
GO!
Local benefits?
Somewhat: we visited the cheetah conservation foundation - to understand more about these lovely animals. And we stayed in smaller local places (rather than large hotels).
Overall rating?
Excellent - a great mix of exercise, touring and relaxation. The local company (Mabaruli) was excellent and looked after us very well. (more)Jennifer Milward

Visiting the NGOs, cycling out of Phnom pehn, fighting through sand in the midday sun, cycling through rice fields, conquering a 20k mountain climb or cycling into the chaos of Saigon/ hoi chi mihn? Too many to mention wonderful memories.... (more)Charlie Stockford
Very hard to pick just one element of the trip, it was all memorable. Cycling through Vietnam and Cambodia gives you a chance to immerse yourself in
local life in a way that traveling by any other means would have been impossible. We cycled well off the beaten track, through villages and paddy fields, along dirt tracks and local paths. We ate incredible local, fresh food and visited some fascinating places on the rest days. (more)Ali Kenny

Memorable parts?
So much of this trip was memorable--I lucked out with a great tour group and a wonderful guide (Danny). The scenery was beautiful and most places we went
were (happily) not overrun with people. Kayaking was definitely my favorite activity, while the most memorable day was when we had lunch at the hilltop
farm. I really enjoyed meeting the owners, and knowing that they shared a meal with us that was wholly produced on their land made it that much more
special.

Views of snow topped volcanos whilst cycling around huge lakes.

US $3,025

Memorable parts?
The best part for me was the rides around Inle Lake; really peaceful and interesting riding and the lake a source of life for so much. Great bikes and great group all added to the experience.
Tips?
Go with the flow; if you choose Monsoon season be prepared to get very very wet; that said it was part of the experience and part of life in Myanmar so it didn't really detract. Just take quick dry clothes and several pairs of shoes/rubber ones help.
Local benefits?

Memorable parts?
Cycling along the beach near Riga, and then down the Curonian Spit on beautifully maintained cycle routes through trees were both wonderful.
Tips?
Averaging about 50km a day on mainly flat routes, the cycling is easy and should appeal to almost any cyclist who likes a potter, but might frustrate those
looking for something more challenging.
Easy countries to vacation in and things essentially worked really well. Do take
mosquito repellent - most places are fine,... (more)Edward Milford

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

The cycling
Tips?
Bring clothes for all weathers. We had one day when we needed sunscreen and a hat, and the next it was freezing rain. It's not a tremendously demanding ride,
but you do need to be able to ride 30 miles a day and climb a hill or two.
Local benefits?
We did spend money in local cafes and retaurants, and biking's definitely better than car or coach. I would have liked to see fewer disposable cups and other
items in the hotels though.

Cycling through the majestic peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains, cooling off with a swim in refreshing waterholes, wildlife spotting in Kruger National Park.
Tips?
Cycle training will give you a better experience as some of the rides are quite challenging with lots of uphill.
Local benefits?
Yes. The trip was relatively low impact and used accommodation owned/ run by local people.

Awesome! (more)Jennifer Steward

Memorable parts?
Well, most memorable was possibly cycling up a zig zag mountain road in the teeming rain with a river coursing down the road!! That was freak weather
though. Most memorable in a good way was the wild flowers, which were everywhere and spectacular, and the food, which was the best I have ever eaten.
Tips?
Do some training riding up hills! On two of the days there are very long climbs (and very long descents afterwards). Bring clothes for a wide range of weathers

Memorable parts?
Two things:
Seeing the Naadam festival.
The friendliness and competence of the local staff - two drivers and two cooks. They will remain in my affections forever.
Tips?
Take a lavalava. It makes an emergency tent when the hot sun is beating down on your head, it can be a towel, a bathrobe, a shoulder covering for temples, a modesty screen when having a public pee stop. Never travel without your lavalava.
Local benefits?
I couldn't say. I sought out a fair... (more)Monica Holland

Memorable parts?
The endless wild receptions as we rolled through village streets; young and old alike excited beyond measure!
Tips?
Don't plan on convenient, ever-present wifi at your hotels. Be mentally prepared for very slow riding.
Local benefits?
Cycling is the only way to go for so many reasons.
Overall rating?
Great! Leaders were conscientious and at the ready. If anything, we were over-coddled in that we were afraid, perhaps rightly, to go out on our own in... (more)Peter Judd
