The bikes were titanium bikes, with quality components. The routes they planned was perfect, and the hotels were fabulous.

From beginning to end, Cycle Europe was fantastic. The pre-planning and communication was incredible. The bikes were titanium bikes, with quality components. The sent staff members to expertly fit the bikes, the routes they planned was perfect, and the hotels were fabulous. On top of everything else, they were willing to help us for our entire vacation. They helped set up a cooking class for us in Lucca, helped arrange a special ceremony for our parent's 50th anniversary, and helped arrange our private transfer. They were really amazing.Show more

Although the route was very hilly, we loved everything about our self-guided tour. The itinerary kept us on less-traveled roads as much as possible, and took us through small scenic towns with gorgeous views. We also appreciated the opportunity to tour several monasteries and scenic spots along the way. Our accommodations were very good and we had a hearty, tasty breakfast every morning. The combination of paper maps with precise directions and GPS ensured that we were hardly ever lost. We were also impressed with the quality of the bikes and the expert fitting and orientation we received before we set out. I'd highly recommend this tour for bikers who don't mind lots of elevation change!Show more
