    Nice ride

    · Cycling Spain's Ebro River

    We enjoyed our trip to Spain and were glad that we opted for e-bikes as our 70 year old legs would have had a hard time with the hills during the first few biking days. The bike staff were great and very attentive to our needs, they even went out of their way to return a lost iPad. We especially enjoyed Haro and LaGuardia. Both cities were what we were hoping to find in Spain.

    Great Scenery

    · Great Pyrenees and Costa Brava E-Bike Tour

    The local partner did a fantastic job with the Ride GPS routing. The routes were all very good and minimized roads with traffic. They had lots of sightseeing and resraurant recommendations. All you had to do was click on teh link and it opwpened up Google maps to take you there. They were very easy to deal with and the bikes were as stated with zero issues. Th eHotels were mostley very good, with a few that were a little bit tired.

    Very busy place and many different tours converge at the sites. Might have been better as a private tour or maybe just rent a bike.

    Trip the lite fantastic

    · Gaudi’s Barcelona E-Bike Tour

    Biking is the best way to visit any city and Barcelona is very bike friendly. E-bikes are the future, as I say” people who walk must not know how to ride and if you don’t ride an e-bike you are only getting half the fun”

    Beautiful destinations with several detours

    · Albarracín to Valencia Along Spain's Longest Greenway

    Our group of 8 does bike trips around different countries each year so we are comparing this bike trip to other trips we’ve done. The destinations and customer service were outstanding. Also very good were the hotels, food and the bikes. The only thing we didn’t like was the many diversions around construction and the ride with GPS directions. The road construction was beyond the bike company’s control but we hoped for more communication about detours from the bike company. Also the ride with GPS directions were difficult to follow in a few places and we got lost. One day we rode over 76 kilometers and got to hotel well after dark. One bike had a flat tire and one of our group lost his passport. The bike company did everything they could to fix the tire and help our friend find his passport. In future, I would recommend the bike company verify the ride with GPS directions again and be sure to notify customers about the several diversion areas in advance of the ride. Thank you again for this beautiful bike ride.

    Relaxed Touring

    · Highlights of Barcelona E-Bike Tour

    I enjoyed the tour and felt like we got a great overview of Barcelona’s highlights, from the Gothic quarter right to the Olympic Port and seaside. The pace was easygoing and the guide was friendly, which was perfect for us. My only small gripe is that I wished for a slightly longer stop at the park, but overall it was a lovely morning ride.

    Interesting trip with contrast between route and hotels

    · Andalusia: Southern Spain

    Did get a picture of that region of Spain. The hotels were great but the route was not very interesting and some of the dirt roads were in very poor condition. The GPS was poor and the written instructions are necessary. Ebikes are not a bad idea. The tour should definitively give the bikes the night before the first day of riding to get an early start so you can enjoy the hotels after a not great first ride day.

    Not the Best

    · Andalusia: Southern Spain

    This was our third bike tour and to be honest we were disappointed in general. While the hotel accomodations and the towns that you slept in were great and places I would visit again, but the overall biking experience was a different story. The bike journey each day was mostly about trying to get to the next town. The experience along the way in terms of where you cycled and the towns you went through was a let down. For example having done the Passau to Vienna cycle a few years back the lunch stops and places to take breaks were amazing, charming, convenient and scenic. This trip didn't offer any of that. The lunch locations were simply a place to rest and keep going. The tour operator in the self guided books didn't offer any recommendations of where to stop for lunch or breaks compared to the previous 2 tours we did (Passau to Vienna and Puglia). On the previous two tours these types of tips and recommendations added extreme value to our trip.
    A couple of tips... if you do decide to do this cycle definitely spend the extra 30 euros for the GPS as it will vastly improve the navigation experience as bikes aren't set up to display the guide book and if the tour operator is reading this, having an upgraded room option would be a good idea as the hotels were great as well as the towns. On a couple of the locations we paid extra for an upgraded room upon checkin and it made a difference!

    Biking the Camino with my sons

    Camino de Santiago: A Pilgrim’s Route From Astorga to Santiago

    A real biking adventure. The biking camino was much more mountainous than we imagined. It was beautiful scenery, thrilling, strenuous, dangerous, rewarding and memorable. We hiked the first half and stayed in hostels. From Astorga we biked and stayed in hotels. Hiking and hostels were much more conducive to meeting incredible new friends. The price of the biking tour seemed a bit expensive for what you recieve.

    Fabulous Paradors - Challenging Cyclying

    · Cycling Spain’s Land of the Conquistadors

    We really enjoyed the Paradors as each one is historical and unique. The biking is through rural countryside and is very pretty, and the temperatures in March were perfect. The directions provided by the tour company were outstanding! The surface of the trip is along asphalt roads, but I think it should be noted that the terrain is very hilly. The only flat section of the trip is the first half of the first cycling day and last cycling day. Otherwise, you’re climbing or descending, and since descending is much faster, you’re spending most of your days climbing. It was our 8th trip and definitely the most challenging. Another aspect of the trip is there is a lot of traffic passing at high speeds. While most of drivers are courteous in the amount of space given, if you’re accustomed of cycling without traffic, it can be very disconcerting. It a lovely trip, but I think the surface and terrain need to be disclosed.

    Great ride but horrible bikes

    · Majorca: A Loop Tour of the Beautiful Balearic Island

    We enjoyed generally the trip locations. Ride instructions were definitely a little fuzzy at times but generally good. The bikes were horrific. They had these heavy, equipment laden bikes that were meant for city riding and not going through the countryside. Not the type of bike meant for doing long hill climbs. Hotels were fine and had good locations, but again instructions to get to them were not great. We had to incur roaming charges to find one because the instructions they gave to find it would have put us the next town over.

    Must be an expert

    · San Sebastian E-MTB Tour

    1. The guide really didn't provide much information about San sebastian which I thought we would get some history about the area or basque culture
    2. The guide brought a friend and neither of them wanted to accommodate my entry experience. I had researched the biking area and knew there were paved roads to go up if I thought the off reading was too much but they continued to push what they wanted to do, not what I was comfortable with
    3. The guide did no introduction to our bikes. There was zero instruction given on how to use the electric nor a review on any part of the bike
    4. Only take this tour if you are a very experienced mountain biker and only want to mountain bike.
