- PZPetra Birgit· December 8th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThe cycle tour was interesting and the tour guides were very committed. Unfortunately, almost all of the hotels were located far away, so it wasn't possible to do anything in the evening or go out for a typical meal. There was only the option of eating in the hotel, which I thought was a shame. The food on the road could also be improved. We also had almost no opportunity to get snacks etc. for in between. On other tours (from other organizers) there was a "snack box" into which everyone paid something at the beginning and the guides then always offered something for in between during the breaks. Unfortunately, that was missing here. The breaks during the bike tour were also almost always in very unfavorable places. Usually somewhere on the side of the road in the blazing sun, on the highway, always somewhere in the middle of nowhere. There was also rarely an opportunity to go to the toilet, sometimes not even off-road. The bikes were also all quite old, I had better equipment on all the other toursShow more
