The trip was well run and the head guide was able to make small adjustments as needed. (more)John Delia
Most memorable for me was the window into the lives of Cubans. I learned a lot from our guide and the staff, but I had the chance to talk to many Cubans
throughout the course of the tour. I will remember Cuba as a place with great untapped potential for economic development and growth.
(more)Cynthia Gilliam
Hearing about the way of life/history from the guide was the most memorable. Excellent, loved the way the guide introduced the whole country and way of life to us. (more)Lois Martin

Memorable parts?
Every day with new discoveries of Costa Rica, beautiful cycling experience, local tour leader Memo and his fantastic crew member Luís and Ronald, and variety of holiday experience in two weeks made this holiday the best I've ever been.
Tips?
Be prepared for rice and beans three times a day for two weeks ;)
Local benefits?
Yes, absolutely, in all the trips (including optional) I felt that local people were supported in their business, be it a local restaurant... (more)Agne Bajoriniene

Memorable parts?
The whole trip was memorable... Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. I think the most exciting part of the trip was when we were biking to Pisa and got our first glimpse of the leaning tower. It was so surreal!
Tips?
The Tuscany route offered is pretty challenging. When we booked this trip was described as light to moderate in difficulty however after finishing the tour and talking to the tour operator we were told it was one of the hardest... (more)Manpreet Anand

My wife and I went on this trip with our 17 year-old son. Even as seasoned travellers to India, we would never have been able to do this trip on our own because this part of central India really doesn't have much tourist/traveller infrastructure. Cycling from village to village was absolutely fantastic. Our wonderful guide, Saurabh, based in Raipur, was not only brilliantly organised and wonderfully knowledgeable about wildlife, architure, people, plants, birds, customs etc.... (more)Jonathan Drori

Although I cannot pick just one, the guide (leader) has played a huge role. It would have been a totally different trip had the guide been of somehow lower quality professional, even if we went through all the same activities and places. Eye and mind opening, six stars out of five! (more)Yumiko Hiraki
I thought it was excellent, really well organised with the right balance of culture, history, cycling and relaxing. (more)Kirstin Carmouche
Most memorable was dancing salsa outside in Granada after a lovely meal, mojitos and cycling... Brilliant and a great way to explore the country as a solo traveller.

So many things where memorable: cycling through the vineyards and along Adriatic Sea, also Mjlet National Park was magnifique. Great guide who was funny, encouraging, patient, and kind; scenery that matches anywhere worldwide, amazing food, and a whole new set of friends. (more)Linda Roe
We had a really fantastic time. The group was friendly and the tour guide really made the trip for us with her knowledge and enthusiasm for the country. (more)Alice Jewell
I loved it all, but the day trip to Mljet was particularly special. (more)Ann Anderson
From

Excellent - thank you very much. All provisions and services were provided by locals and the relationship the guide had with them was obviously due to good relationships in place.

Extremely good. (more)Joy Skipper
From
£1,369
including UK flights
Memorable parts?
Cycling along the beach near Riga, and then down the Curonian Spit on beautifully maintained cycle routes through trees were both wonderful.
Tips?
Averaging about 50km a day on mainly flat routes, the cycling is easy and should appeal to almost any cyclist who likes a potter, but might frustrate those
looking for something more challenging.
Easy countries to holiday in and things essentially worked really well. Do take
mosquito repellent - most places are fine,... (more)Edward Milford

Biking through the towns with our tour guide, Inka, who was an exceptional leader. The ride was challenging, leisurely, and culturally rewarding! (more)Michael Chirichello
I really enjoyed the holiday. All 18 of us got on very well and each day's cycling was just the right amount of cycling and sight-seeing. Martin & Marjorie's hospitality and food were excellent. Our cycle guide, Yon Willan was fantastic and I will miss having him around! (more)Joanna Moncrieff

Memorable parts?
Two things:
Seeing the Naadam festival.
The friendliness and competence of the local staff - two drivers and two cooks. They will remain in my affections forever.
Tips?
Take a lavalava. It makes an emergency tent when the hot sun is beating down on your head, it can be a towel, a bathrobe, a shoulder covering for temples, a modesty screen when having a public pee stop. Never travel without your lavalava.
Local benefits?
I couldn't say. I sought out a fair... (more)Monica Holland

Riding the crazy streets of Phnom Penh on the first day, like you're in a computer game. Eating a power bar on a river bed after a two-hour push through mud. Seeing a small girl rowing a bath tub in a floating village on the Tonlé Sap. Beef loc lac. Fish amok. A chorus of hellos from children in every village. Hoem, the support van driver's laugh.

Memorable parts?
Cycling through some beautiful areas of Italy with a great, mixed group.
Tips?
Get some cycling practice in - most of the riding is on quiet roads, so worth getting used to traffic.
Local benefits?
Not sure it particularly benefited local people, although meals were often in local restaurants.
Overall rating?
Absolutely fantastic and memorable. (more)Michelle Bickle
From
£1,299

Memorable parts?
Well, most memorable was possibly cycling up a zig zag mountain road in the teeming rain with a river coursing down the road!! That was freak weather
though. Most memorable in a good way was the wild flowers, which were everywhere and spectacular, and the food, which was the best I have ever eaten.
Tips?
Do some training riding up hills! On two of the days there are very long climbs (and very long descents afterwards). Bring clothes for a wide range of weathers
if... (more)Wendy Pillar

Memorable parts?
Cycling through the majestic peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains, cooling off with a swim in refreshing waterholes, wildlife spotting in Kruger National Park.
Tips?
Cycle training will give you a better experience as some of the rides are quite challenging with lots of uphill.
Local benefits?
Yes. The trip was relatively low impact and used accommodation owned/ run by local people.
Overall rating?
Awesome! (more)Jennifer Steward
From
£1,219

Memorable parts?
Reaching the top of the Col du Tourmalet.
Tips?
You need to be really fit for this holiday. Train beforehand as much as possible. Some climbs are very long and arduous. I did not cope with the unseasonably
hot temperatures (over 40C, according to my Garmin).
Local benefits?
No more than other cycling holidays, I guess.
Overall rating?
Very good. (more)Dave Hutton

Memorable parts?
The cycling
Tips?
Bring clothes for all weathers. We had one day when we needed sunscreen and a hat, and the next it was freezing rain. It's not a tremendously demanding ride,
but you do need to be able to ride 30 miles a day and climb a hill or two.
Local benefits?
We did spend money in local cafes and retaurants, and biking's definitely better than car or coach. I would have liked to see fewer disposable cups and other
items in the hotels though.
Overall... (more)Wendy Pillar

Memorable parts?
The best part for me was the rides around Inle Lake; really peaceful and interesting riding and the lake a source of life for so much. Great bikes and great group all added to the experience.
Tips?
Go with the flow; if you choose Monsoon season be prepared to get very very wet; that said it was part of the experience and part of life in Myanmar so it didn't really detract. Just take quick dry clothes and several pairs of shoes/rubber ones help.
Local benefits?
Yes... (more)Justine henwood

Very relaxed pace and enjoyable. The guide, the food, the service and the staff were all outstanding. (more)Doug and Angela Cliff
The most memorable parts were living and travelling on the barge Fiep. The crew, accommodation and food were excellent. Amsterdam, Ghent and Antwerp were great. (more)Jill Toman
