The Western Front trip was well put together, distances each day allowed plenty of time to visit sites and contemplate the history involved.
The route was well prepared with GPS making it pretty hard to get lost or confused. Support was great with good bikes and communication. A slight issue with a bags arriving a bit later than optimal underscores their advice to carry a change of clothes with you in case you get the hotel before them.
An extra day could easily be taken (offered)in Ypres as this area, which would allow time to visit the Ypres museum and visit other significant locations of interest not on the loop.
A really good trip.
Although we were a bit apprehensive about a self guided tour - we were very pleased that everything worked out. Loved the places we visited and the variety of accommodation. It was a great adventure.
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the contrast of a few days in the Black forest and then the amazing Towns of the Alsace. The riding was well paced through beautiful country, with the occasional tough hill to keep you honest. Hotels on the whole were good choices with friendly staff. The bikes were ideal for the terrain.

Bikes pick up was excellent. Biclas and Triclas made sure we had bikes that fitted us and all necessary equipment was provided. Did not have any issues with them.
Routes provided were spot on with no issues with navigation. Bear in mind that some parts of the route could not be traversed by bikes so some self made detours are required or bike pushing done. This added to the experience.
Luggage transportation was flawless with only a minor delay in one leg due to us being too quick.
Accommodations were very good with hot showers and comfortable beds. Only one hotel did not have adequate air conditioning but it was in an isolated country area and staff were fantastic in trying their best to make it better.
Breakfasts could have started a little earlier for Camiño travelers as we tried to beat the hottest part of the day.
Dinners were good and we never went to sleep hungry.
Overall an excellent experience.

Discover the coast and mountains along the edge of the Pyrenees on foot. This walk along 'La Cote Vermeille' follows the steep coastline where the Pyrenees meet the 'Big Blue', as the Mediterranean is called in these parts. Our route takes you over the frontier from French Catalunya to Spanish Catalonia. It starts in the former fishing village of Collioure, where the colourful Fauve school of painting began and follows waymarked paths between the vineyards of Roussillon and through heavily scented maquis to the seaport of Banyuls, home of the great French sculptor Aristide Maillol and also renowned for its sweet aperitif wine. After crossing the frontier you descend on the Spanish side to the little town of Port-Bou and continue past rocky bays to the more modern resort of Llanca. The walk then climbs inland over a high col and along the mountains to the monastery of San Pere de Rodes, before descending steeply, passing ancient Dolmens to the attractive fishing village of Port de la Selva. You can watch the catch come in, get iced and then marketed. From here the trails become more remote as you head into the recently established Natural Park of Cap de Creus to complete the longest walk of the tour into the beautiful whitewashed old town of Cadaques. Nearby, at Port Lligat, is the former residence of Salvador Dali (now open to the public). On your departure day you may find enough time to visit the Dali museum at Figueres. On your way throughout the tour you will be able to sample the wines of Roussillon, delicious local honeys and, of course, the Catalan cuisine.

This trip was bloody amazing woohoo!!!
We hired one normal bike and one ebike. Both bikes were adequate. Our bikes didn’t have water bottle holders which would have been nice and the phone holders don’t allow you to swipe the phone map app easily. Bring your own phone holder if possible because you do need to refer to the mapping app quite frequently. We get lost easily and we survived so I think most people could operate the map app. The hotel accomodation was mixed which we liked. Sometimes an old place, sometimes luxury, sometimes modern. Our luggage was taken from place to place without a hitch. The trail was tiring for my wife but the ebike made it doable and the majority of the trail is on dedicated cycle paths with spectacular scenery. A wonderful experience for two Australians in their 60’s.
Enjoy strolling alongside rivers of melt water, shimmering a stunning aquamarine blue, or rising valley sides into spectacular mountains of predominately limestone; jagged peaks create stunning vistas wherever you look. Waterfalls cascade down into the valleys, below the mountains you will find rivers winding their way along the valley floors towards the Adriatic Sea. The site of some major battles in World War I, you will walk along parts of the famous 'Walk of Peace' which is dedicated to the memory of the multitude of casualties of World War I.Starting in Bovec you can enjoy the blooming colourful meadows, awakening life in spring and summer, and the softness of winds, calm and peacefulness of nature in autumn. The lowland features forest, blue-green rivers and streams, magnificent waterfalls and gorges enriched with old homesteads and friendly Slovenes.
Our second centre, Ribcev Laz, is on the shores of Lake Bohinj from where you will wander around the lake, through forests and wildflower meadows, past waterfalls and explore charming hamlets adorned with half-timbered houses, stone bridges, and historic churches.
