An absolutely fantastic way to see a country and well organised. No problems. Hotels pretty good and luggage always there early. The routes were well worked out to be the best option for bikes.
Good trip, well organised. We got to places off the main tourist menu as well famous sites. As parts were quite hilly the eBikes were of great benefit. It would have been a tougher trip with standard bikes. The app route map worked well for the whole trip. E bikes were new and in good order. Hotels in several of the last small towns were a bit basic but there were no other options.
From the arrival on day one until the final departure this trip was so well run I felt totally taken care of from the cycling including the detailed briefings and advice, to the organisation of accommodation and the group meals. What a great bunch of fellow cyclists and the two guides, Jon and David, did an excellent job looking after us (and our bikes!). The cycling was challenging but no-one was made to feel inadequate if they finished later than others (that was often me!!) - everyone helped and encouraged each other and the guides kept an eye on everyone to ensure we were all safe at all times. There was plenty of time to stop and take breaks and refreshments which helped with managing some of the longer trip days. The rest day in Siena was fabulous - what a great place to spend a day! I cannot speak highly enough of this trip - it's my first group cycling adventure but I am sure it will not be my last although I am now worried about finding something that will live up to the high standard set by this trip!! If you are thinking about doing this trip and are up for doing a few hills in return for some great views and great food, I would highly recommend you give this a go!!
