Europe Bicycle Trips

A great week of relatively easy cycling, mix of roads and the Loire à velo cycle track. Visited several Chateaux, my favourites were Chenonceau and Cheverny. The Clos Luce, home of Leonardo da Vinci at Amboise is well worth a visit. We were a fairly international group, who all got along well. The tour leader, Erwin, worked tirelessly to ensure we all had a good time. The bikes were all more or less new this year Highlights included a wine tasting and light lunch at a small picturesque vineyard at Montlouis, more wine tasting at Cheverny from a selection of about 70 wines. The gardens of Chateau Villandry. And the sun shone all week!

Fabulous trip. David, our tour leader was exceptional, very focussed making sure that everyone was safe but also having a fun time.. we also really appreciated Bozo in support, always with a friendly smile, encouragement, water and great snacks! Croatia is a beautiful place - the scenery was stunning!

Bike and Sail Croatia exceeded our expectations. From checking in on day one to leaving on day eight, everything went smoothly. Even adverse wind conditions were handled by the crew, who altered the itinerary on the go to make it all happen. The guides, sailors, cooks and Captain made the holiday as good as it could have been.

The trip was amazing. The scenery we biked by was truely amazing to see. Our trip leader Oriol was really great and he took great care of us all. A little disappointed with some of the hotels we were placed in. They were all rated at 4 stars... I'd say the first hotel and the last hotel was a 4 star. But after that the hotels just went down hill from there. Over all it was a wonderful bike trip

Had a fantastic time on our bike and barge tour. The barge was fitted out well, the quality of the bikes and the organisation of the daily trips were really well presented and planned out. After a great day of riding we really loved the atmosphere back on the barge and the quality of the food and service was outstanding. Thanks for a great experience.

The Dalmatian coast cycling trip was a beautiful adventure through the Croatian islands and mainland. David, the guide, was an expert at leading a large group with varying skill and focused on safety while also having fun. The coffee and lunch stops were in intriguing towns with interesting things to see. I wish we would have only made one stop per day, though, so there was more time to spend in one place. Often times we’d get to a town and have to choose between eating and sightseeing because there wasn’t time for both. The first hotel was very nice, the ones after left a bit to be desired. All breakfasts were delicious with a lot of variety. It should be noted that if you are not at least a somewhat avid cyclist, this trip is not for you. There were very inexperienced cyclists on this trip who were scared to death of descending and had no fitness for the longer climbs. It made it very difficult to keep a group of 16 together, and the lack of experience riding on roads was a detriment to the group. I must say David handled it all with poise and patience, but I am shocked at the inexperienced folks that signed up for this trip.
