Everything worked slick; the map on the app worked great, our bags got moved, the places we stayed at were very fine. The only hiccup we had was at the last stop at Berchules; the innkeeper had not been told that we were supposed to have dinner with them. It wasn’t a big deal as we just went to the local pub.

Puglia was beautiful. They did a great job of coordinating bikes, luggage, and routes. The lodging was great for our 7 night stays, except for 1 night, when our group was split into 2 different hotels that were not very close with no advance warning.

Well organised which made the whole trek lot more pleasant. The accommodation was all very good except for one that was average but quite doable. Overall, very pleasant experience, thanks!

We had a wonderful time experiencing Italy on wheels. The e-bikes made it a level field for every biker. The instructions were clear and tell you when you’re off track. I would do another trip with them for sure!

The Dordogne trip was outstanding - beautiful scenery, quaint and comfortable hotels, excellent food and days longs enough to feel the benefit of walking but not so long to make you too exhausted to enjoy arriving. Added bonus was our ability to enjoy a “coupe” everywhere we landed.

We loved everything about this trip! We did it in the relatively cooler month of late October and it was perfect! We arrived to pick up our bikes and were issued bikes in excellent condition, with great instructions and repair gear and we had no issues at all with them. The accommodation organised for us was as described; not 5 star but always cute and very clean with great breakfasts provided and lovely people meeting us at the end of each day. Our bags were always there when we arrived. The navigation app was fantastic; we had a bit of a learning curve on Day 1 but then no problems at all. The loop we did was amazing. Would highly recommend the Sierra De Grazalema - gorgeous villages, amazing views, and minimal traffic. We would highly recommend this trip. It exceeded our expectations.
