Is this tour available this month? You website suggests it is, but this form does not. We would like to start ride on 17 or 18 November (this month).

Sadly we have no Greek Cycling trips that run in November but we do have other options in Italy, Portugal and Spain.

What is the level of difficulty for this trip?

This holiday is rated as a level 3 stretching.

I am pleased to confirm we do offer the option to upgrade to an e-bike. The cost to upgrade to an e-bike is £182.00 per e-bike.

Do you supply bikes? What kind?

The bikes are included in the trip cost for this trip we use Hybrid bikes.

Do the travellers have to bring their own bikes or will you provide them with bikes? Also, would like to request the upgrade to an e-bike for one of her fellow travellers. Could you please let me know how much that would cost?

Can you confirm if e-bike upgrade is available for the adventure dates - 7-10 October? They would require 1 E-bike and 2 standard bikes and if there is a cost for this upgrade?

I'd like to know if the "cycling the coast of eastern crete" is guided by someone and if not, how is it organized ? Besides, when we see comments about this tour, some people speaks about walks, some others about a guide. So it's difficult to know which one corresponds to the real one specifically.

This is a self guided holiday and so the cycling will be done independently using the Headwater navigation app. We don't include airport transfers in the standard holiday cost however, it is possible for me to arrange transfers to tie in with your flights at an additional price.

  The Cycling the Coast of Eastern Crete is a self-guided / independent cycling holiday. There is no guide and no group on this trip, instead it would just be yourself and whom you are travelling with completing the cycle rides and holiday together. To assist in navigating from hotel-to-hotel we provide the route notes via our own Navigation App. Bike hire is included, and to upgrade to e-bikes is £232.00 per e-bike.
