Balkan bike trip

Cycling the West Balkan Triangle

The first two days were filled with of car, pedestrian and passport control traffic, along with being repetitive. The last few days were more authentic biking and scenery. The hotels were what was expected.

Excellent organization, hotels and bikes provided.

Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi

The Ride with GPS instructions were excellent and so well done. Some roads are close together and bike paths with are right next to roads. All was clear where we had to go. Paolo was terrific to work with, initially when he delivered the bikes, assisting with the routes, etc. He had to follow up as my wife's bike had shifting problems. This was dealt with immediately the next morning (she could still continue the first day, she was concerned that it might damage the bike).
It would have been good to have greater detail of what to expect on the routes we selected. For example, we took the ride only loop on day 5, rather than to Perugia. It was a hot day and the route did NOT go through towns with water available. (fountains particularly to cool off). We had enough drinking water with us, but no extra to pour over ourselves. Also, this route has a lot of loose gravel, even a long, scary, treacherous, winding descent on gravel. I was fine as I'm an experienced mountain biker, but my wife was quite upset with this. People should know ahead of time that you need much greater cycling skills than casual riders on simple bike paths.
I would also HIGHLY recommend that you take the eBikes. I am a strong road rider, but there were many steeper climbs that I expected, not to mention going up those narrow lanes in the hilltop towns. I sure was grateful for this extra power assist, esp. as I carried both panniers (and Paola gave us two extra huge heavy chain locks!!!) If you had your own light (empty) road bike, then you would be okay, but not in such heat. I really didn't want to take an eBike, but I admit it was an excellent decision (pushed by my wife, so that I wouldn't be cooked at the end of each day, even though the distances were quite short). I then had plenty of energy to enjoy the evenings after dinner.

Amazing family trip

Greenways of Girona Family Tour 5 Nights

Our group of 6 including two children aged 7 and 11 had such a great time on this trip! Each day brought different things to explore. One note would be to look at the days of the week your tour starts and ends. We started ours on a Sunday and most shops restaurants were closed in Olot.

Good biking, great people, excellent food

Cycling the West Balkan Triangle

This tour exceeded my expectations which were quite high. One note for flat land bikers - there are some serious ascents on this trail ex. Day 1 was 38 miles with 3,400 foot climb. So consider an e-bike or at minimum a road bike. First two days were good but days 3 through 6 were amazing. Accommodations were a solid 3 to 4 star with stays mainly along the coast, in historic old towns or in mountain villages. Alex, a former professional bike racer, challenged the group to get the most out of every day. Luka in the trail van was an excellent provider and always there when you needed something. Breakfast and lunch is included everyday of the tour. Lunches were exceptional on days 3, 4, 5 and 6. I never tired of biking along the Adriatic coast with stunning views on most days. I have no hesitation in recommending this trip. You will not regret it.

Great cycling adventure

Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique II (and reverse)

Well organized tour although our guide was not aware of road closures or changes a few times. It would be appreciated if more scheduled bathroom stops were available.

A dream vacation with a rough start

UNESCO Highlights of Dalmatia by E-bike and Boat

I would have given this a 5 star rating if not for the confusion when it came to boarding the boat. There were 2 ships picking up passengers at the same time with little organization to do so. A sign with each boats name would have solved a lot of that problem. Plus not being given the option to go to the boat immediately was a bit of a pain. The Cruise portion was a blast, great guides and bike rides. Boat was beautiful and the accommodations and food were excellent.

Amazing bike trip!

Three Lakes Tour: From Geneva to Annecy

Most of our 150 miles of biking was on designated bike paths and the GPS was excellent, so much better than our first experience a few years ago. Our bikes were excellent and the hotels were nice, especially in Seyssel and Albertville. However the dinner in Seyssel that was included was very disappointing. The dinner at Base Camp in Albertville was wonderful! Overall we had the absolute best experience in the beautiful countryside!

Fantastic trip with amazing hotels locations

Tuscany and Umbria: Cycling in the Heart of Italy

Did this trip unguided and my spouse and adult children (and significant others). While the hills were tough definitely doable for most (spouse was on e-bike). The hotel locations in historic city centers was the highlight. Scenery was spectacular. We did take the recommended day off in Oriveto which was a hit.
