Great trip! Well organised, great hotels and evening meals. Bikes were in excellent condition. Communication with company excellent. Only thing we weren’t so keen on was the navigation app so resorted to google maps. Generally really pleased.

Utilizing the Camino trail during wet, muddy and crowded trails was challenging. We were traveling during the Easter holiday which looking back was not a good decision. Would advise others to consider the time of year when traveling.

Highlights of the trip were the beautiful Spanish countryside, historic churches and interesting people we met along the way. All of the hotels we stayed at were clean and comfortable and offered a good meal at the end of the day. Parts of the trail are challenging, even on an ebike, so worth getting your bike fitness up before you do this trip, but it’s highly recommended.
