  We consider ourselves to be “veterans” of self guided cycling tours - we have now done 18 self guided tours across 4 countries, over 5 years. We came back to Creative Catalonia on the back of the most wonderful experience with them the year before, this time sharing our holiday with friends. We were not disappointed and our experience confirmed that this is indeed one of the best parts of the world for cycling, and that Lucy and Daniel are outstanding hosts. We had plenty of contact before we arrived to ensure that all was in order. Lucy met us for the pre-tour briefing - informative, super helpful and prepared to do anything to make sure we had a good time. We met again mid-tour, once again to answer any questions we had, more tips for the rides in front of us, assistance with transit arrangements - and Creative Catalonia t-shirts! Finally the end of the trip a phone call once again to check that everything had gone well and wanting to see if there was anything else she could do for us. Creative Catalonia is an outstanding, customer focussed business. You can’t help but feel special when these guys are looking after you. It’s also great value - hotel quality including breakfasts, trip notes, road riding all 5 stars and very reasonably priced. Totally, thoroughly recommended. We will be back!Show more

  My husband and I have done two tours with Creative Catalonia - which speaks volumes about how impressed we were with Creative Catalonia! Two years ago we did a 10 day best of Catalonia bike/hike tour. We loved this tour - the bikes were excellent, the route was interesting, the countryside was beautiful and the hotels were charming. We were so impressed with Creative Catalonia that we talked our friends into returning last year with us to again bike in Catalonia with Creative Catalonia - which was again an awesome experience! Daniel is a biker himself and clearly understands what makes a bike trip enjoyable!Show more

  Creative Catalonia - Thumbs up! We just finished a fantastic week of self guided cycling with Creative Catalonia . A great mix of medieval villages to get lost in, classic sheltered costa brava coves for swimming in and really delightful hotels . The 30-40 k/ day were just right for us , enough time for leisurely sleep in/breakfast, interesting and varied days ride through forest trails, small quiet B roads, and dedicated bike tracks ( occasionally strenuous but mostly pleasantly cruisey), and arrive in time for a siesta or explore before checking out a veritable cornucopia of delicious restaurants/ bars . Daniel and Lucy were great hosts from the initial email enquiries and on throughout the tour and gave as much support as needed when riding. The bikes are great. New and comfortable and can handle loose gravel , steep hills and road with ease. The maps and guides were detailed and helpful and the tech ( GPS locators and maps and Garmins) worked seamlessly so we never got lost ( slightly misplaced momentarily maybe but not lost!)l Thanks Lucy and Daniel - we will hopefully be back for more! cheers David and Fiona( Sydney)Show more

  We signed up with Creative Catalonia to ride the Costa Brava in Cataluyna Spain. And we are so glad we did. This was by far he best bike excursion company we have used. It is by far the most personal. Daniel makes you feel like part of the Catalonia family. He picked up up at our hotel, gave us our bikes and a Garmin with a cell phone preloaded with the routes, and told us he would see us 6 days hence. All routes were easy follow, hotels were really great, and right on time for the pickup. We especially liked the Monells stop for 2 nights in the medieval portion of the ride. We even rode a leg of stage 6 of the 2009 Tour de France from S’garo to Tossa de Mar. Beautiful views of the Mediterranean, but oh this hills!!! A congratulatory T-Shirt at the end of the tour waited us. We highly recommend Creatice Catalonia Bike Tours. Daniel and Lucy have built a great company and are really nice folks.Show more
