      "My partner and I enjoyed this trip immensely! From the pre-trip communication to their attention to detail, the staff went above and beyond! The cycling trails were beautiful - well maintained, traffic-free with incredible scenery - what more could you ask for! We were a mixed group of riders, with various abilities and ages, but our guides were very accommodating and always made sure that everyone was enjoying themselves.

      "This tour was an absolutely incredible experience! I loved the mix of cycling and travelling across the country. Our guide was an incredible motivator, and I amazed myself by completing the routes. We had a briefing every day, and the camaraderie in the group was so much fun! The cycle routes are amazing and have been really well planned, so we got a great mix of uphill, downhill and flat roads. I learned a lot about cycling, how to pace myself and cycle to conserve energy on long routes. Loved it!"
