“Crete is a wonderful island. There is history and ruins, scenery , varied climate from desert to sea, to fertile valleys. The people I met were all wonderful. I did the 14 day option and it was off season. I was the only person .Most of the place closes on October 31. There are 2-3 very challenging climbs on a daily basis. If you are a recreational rider, choose the ebike. On my final day it took me 1.5 hrs to do the first 4.5 km climb. I ride an hour a day and it was challenging, but exhilarating. Weather is wonderful, food is great , accommodations were very well appointed and had fabulous locations. The app has some hiccups, like a peculiar estimate of 1/2 km and a tendency to stop a distance from the hotel. This may have been due to the off season nature and the usual hotels not being used, but it was very disconcerting at the end of a ride to be searching for the hotel. The local travel company was great in helping with difficulties I encountered. Overall though, it was a wonderful combination of exercise and touring and discovering a fabulous place .” Less

“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.” Less

“We had a great time seeing Portugal. The sights, people, food and route were all wonderful. The coastal towns had jaw dropping scenery. Obidos and Sintra were picture postcard perfect. An extra day in Sintra to see the castles is a must. We rode premium road bikes through challenging climbs. Only the uphill Sintra cobbles required walking the bike. Well organized tour” Less

“If you’re looking for an engaging, comprehensive One Tree Hill tour—this is for YOU! We booked with Eric on an impromptu trip to Wilmington fairly last minute and it far exceeded expectations. First, Eric was on time and ready to roll when we pulled up—we actually didn’t book properly (didn’t include our 6 year old) so he had to drive across town to get a replacement bike so our 6 year old could ride too…he didn’t even pause, just offered a solution and made it happen! Eric was engaged, energetic, extremely personable the entire time, and knew all the ins and outs of the show, city, and notable spots to get photos. Eric was also intentional with some stops along the way for lunch and recommended some solid options for us ahead of time, and we even stopped downtown and had a drink before finishing our tour which we appreciated. We’re already looking forward to doing another tour the next time we’re back in town. Thanks, Eric!” Less
