All in all this was a great week for us. We liked the itinerary and especially the fact it was two nights at each place. We did struggle with some of the other people in our group, but not so much that it impacted too much on our holiday. We just found them very loud and quite self centred which can be difficult in a group environment. We simply spent more time alone when we could. We would have liked some more detailed information about what to do in our free time as most of the group wanted to go shopping but that’s not our thing.

This was our first group travel experience ever and we were delighted by how easy and fun it was. We are definitely sold on GAdventures as a company and plan on using them in the future and telling our friends and family about them. We chose GAdventures because we liked that their trips were not jam-packed, had free time and flexibility. This trip exceeded all of our expectations!

Our recent bike trip from Venice to Florence was terrific. Viewing the countryside by bike was fun. Each days ride was different. I thought day 2 was the hardest. My sit bones were very sore despite the bike shorts. it was a bumpy gravel long ride. Day 3 and on out got easier.
