Excellent trip, interesting route through farm land and vineyards. Mixture of road and secret paths, amazing scenery.. definitely need to the App to follow the route..
The bikes were great and the GPS worked almost all of the time. The gravel paths were very bumpy and sometimes quite slippery. The accommodations were friendly and in great locations. The luggage transfers were very efficient.
