  • M

    Margaret

    Asked on September 4th, 2023

    For the bicycle tour, is there a place for travelers to rent the bikes or do we need to bring our own? Also, what is the road like? Are road bike appropriate or should they be hybrid to allow for off-roading?

    Transport
    • Spirit Journeys WorldwideOperator•Written September 2023

      You can bring your own if you prefer or you can add bike hire to the trip at an additional fee. The bikes our supplier reccommend are flat-bar touring bikes like the Trek FX2/FX3 that are suitable for the road. These bikes can also be fitted with panniers, lights, locks, tyre kits, helmets and other extras.

  • G

    Greg

    Asked on March 31st, 2022

    Please let me know the cost to rent an electric bike for this trip and to transfer the luggage. Also do you offer group discounts?

    Price / Availability
    Transport
    • Spirit Journeys WorldwideOperator•Written March 2022

      The cost of a ebike would be £450 to hire and the baggage transfer option works out at £350. How large would the group be as I can tailor this to suit and offer a baggage handling or support vehicle
