    The mose unique trip we have ever done

    · Best of Catalonia Cycle Touring

    First time experiencing Spain on a bike ! Trails were a little hard to find even with GPS as my husband and I are not good a navigating. But we loved the challenge. The diversity of our area & hotels were fabulous. Folks along our journey were very helpful and Daniel our main guy did a great job to make our trip memorable. Bike tours was recommended by some friend's and we will recommend them to our friends. Looking forward to working with you all again soon.

    Enjoyable riding. With an e-bike there was plenty of time to see some local sites along the way. Didn’t find the Guibo app to work well, preferred analog maps! More directions/addresses to local monuments would have been helpful.

    Superb cycling tour/trip

    · Vineyards of Portugal by E-Bike in Upscale Lodging

    The e-bikes were of superb quality with 650W Bosch batteries . We only used 1/3 of battery power . The distance per day was not too much which left us time to head back to the hotel and spend the afternoons at the pool or sight seeing. Cycling on rural quiet roads in Portugal ,going through very small villages . The GPS app worked well . The transfers of luggage to hotels was great . It was a trip to cherish forever

    (5/5) Julie van Soeren 10 months ago

    A wonderful experience

    · Dolomites to Venice Along the Old Dolomites Railway Track

    Our tour was self guided but we were fortunate to meet two other couples with similar biking abilities on the same tour. We had mixed weather so we missed some of the beautiful vistas in the mountains. The accommodations were great for the most part and the breakfasts were amazing! Everything from bacon and eggs to croissants, meats, cheeses, fruit, cereal and all sorts of sweet treats. The navigation was not always straightforward as the signal was poor in many places. Only one of our group experienced a flat tire, which was temporarily fixed and the tube replaced the next day. Our bikes were comfortable and easy to operate. All in all a fantastic experience.

    We had a group of 20 and we were all likeminded people who loved cycling. The E-bike we had was nearly brand new and were amazing and made the hilly cycling trip so much more enjoyable. The guide we had had was very experienced and helpful. I was sick for a few hours one day and I couldn't cycle and the leader organised for the support vehicle to pick me up and take me to the hotel.

  • Bike Paths of the Dolomites
    (5/5) Marcie B. 10 months ago

    Dazzling Dolomites and so much more!

    · Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)

    An excellent introduction to the Sud Tirol region via out-and-back bicycle day tours. Returning to our beautiful nest at the Hotel Laurin every evening was exceptional and we enjoyed a feast for the senses every single dinner. We had a reserved table for our entire stay (breakfast buffet and gourmet multiple course dinners) and the reception and wait staff were friendly, efficient and very customer service oriented. We selected e-bikes and are glad we did (we are 80 and 79 years of age and love E-bikes)! The itinerary had slightly changed from the original program, but it was easy to adjust our expectations based on shuttle availability. The routes were well marked and the app's instructions were clear. We knew there wouldn't be a handlebar phone mount, so brought one. Also we upgraded our T-Mobile coverage for 5G coverage for the month we were abroad.
    We also appreciated the brand new pair of panniers and the handlebar bag (one per room).
    The only day we encountered an unpaved route was the Cortina d'Ampezzo former rail to trail route. The drop off shuttle pointed in the general direction of the bicycle path, but it took the SIX of us to figure out it wasn't immediately visible. We had to pedal past the bobsled shed/track and push the bikes up a relatively steep embankment to access the then well-marked and mostly packed gravel trail into Cortina.
    Fall weather can be fickle, but we biked every day in a different direction without issue. Raingear was indispensable on two of the five cycling days.
    The ride to Lago di Braies can involve some traffic the closer one gets, but cyclists don't have to pay for parking and it's well worth the long climb.
    All in all, we would rate this tour company, the hotel facilities and the quality of the instructions to all the bike destinations highly.
