We had an incredible 7-day bike trip through the Dolomites with Cycle Europe. They were extremely responsive to our questions and went above and beyond to help us navigate our train and bus travel to the start location. The Ride with GPS experience they provided was outstanding, with detailed information about the area, towns, and excellent dining recommendations. We would definitely book with them again!Show more

This is our second trip with Cycle Europe. What really impresses us with Cycle Europe is the quality of their hire bikes. Having an unsuitable bike really spoils a cycle trip. The bikes we have hired, both Ebike and road bikes have been exceptional; it is so good to ride a titanium frame road/gravel bike with E shifting. Cycle Europe are very easy to book trips with, allowing extra days on request. The accommodation used pleasantly varied in style but of a high standard and very comfortable. Their trips notes and tour package based on the “Ride with GPS” is ideal for cycle touring packed with information, good restaurant recommendations and route info. Highly recommend.Show more

Fantastic trip to a beautiful part of Italy. Sara was very helpful and patiently answered all our questions before we booked our self-guided trip. The bikes we rented were all in great shape with no issues whatsoever. The hotels that were booked as part of our trip were all clean and in good central locations. The daily luggage transfers were done as described. The info packet that was provided was very informative- highlighted key landmarks along the way as well as good restaurant recommendations. Navigation routes were planned well and easy to follow. Thank you for everything- I hope to be back for another trip soon.Show more
