    The ride down from Banyuls, the flamingos of the Carmargue, the harbour in Collioure are just some of the highlights for me, but the whole trip was amazing.

    Great trip! Very varied terrain and a couple of challenging climbs. Fantastic scenery and excellent coffee stops. Super fabulous tour guide, Veronica, and awesome picnic lunches from our driver, Luis. Lots of fun and laughs, and we even learned a thing or two.

    We had a fantastic time on the tour. Our guide Veronica was amazing, as was our driver Michel. We were a fairly small group - 9 people - but we all got along well and looked out for one another. The itinerary was well planned and in general the cycling distance we did each day was well-matched to the group. I am a keen cyclist so personally I would have liked a bit more cycling - we averaged 50km per day and I would be happy for it to be closer to 70km per day with a bit more climbing - we only really did any climbing on 2 out of 6 days. I understand though that we had a wide range of ages and ability among the group so this is not a complaint. On the downside, our accommodation for the first two nights in my opinion was sub-standard and for the amount of money we paid I expect better. The accommodation in Barcelona on the last night was also barely adequate. The other accommodation was good, particularly the hotel in Figueres. My other complaint is that despite providing my height (170cm) there were no bikes provided that were even close to the right size for me. I ride a 52cm road bike and can manage up to 54cm, but the smallest bike available for me was 58cm, which is way to big. I managed with the 58cm bike with the seat at it's lowest height but my legs were still over-extending and getting on and off was very awkward, I would even say dangerous at times. If not for these two complaints I would have given a five-star review and I still give 5 stars for Veronica and Michel. Overall though it was a fantastic tour and we really enjoyed it. We would definitely book another tour with TourRadar.

    Tour was good, Veronica and Michel were excellent leaders/drivers, and Veronica in particular was extremely helpful when my wife had a medical problem. As always tour was very well organised, and bikes good. The cycling was easier and slower than we expected - seemed flatter on some days than the itinerary. A couple of days the cycling was a bit boring. We were also a smaller and older group than previous tours we've been on (I was youngest at 58) - not sure if we'd been grouped together like that. But we will make sure to read the route more carefully in future and choose something that better suits our preferences and abilities.

    Overall we had an excellent experience! Veronica and Lluiz form a great team and were very well organized throughout the tour. We saw beautiful and historic cities, villages, beaches and even saw unusual animals along the way…The only negative thing was needing to rely on public transportation in lieu of biking at certain points during the tour.
