Traveler Reviews
Don’t take our word for it
Why people keep coming back
One of the best endorsements we can get is repeat business, and we’ve always been flattered by how many of our travelers come back year after year. We are honored that they feel confident enough to recommend us to their friends. If you don’t have a friend who’s been on tour with us to explain why almost 70% of our travelers every year are return travelers, these the folks quoted below would be happy to help out

Tour leaders
Outstanding and experienced leaders who clearly love what they do and want to provide the best experience for the guests!”I felt I had the best benefits of a group tour – logistics, preplanning, support during the day, luggage handling, meeting new people – and the benefits of independent travel, in that I could ride on my own, at my own pace, and see the towns we stayed at as I saw fit, without being stuck with a group if I did not want to. A hard balance to achieve, but achieved it was.
Judi B., Waban, MA: Bicycling Patagonia’s Lakes District Plus! the Island of Chiloe
They were all fabulous, and were great at seeing that everyone was taken care of, and were part of the group, given many diverse personalities on any trip. To me this is key, especially for solo travelers.
Sheila M., Boston, MA: Bicycling Catalonia’s Costa Brava
We love all your tour leaders! You could tell how much they enjoyed not only the clients, but each other too, which made it really fun for all of us! They were laughting and really having a great time, but still doing an excellent job!

I could go on about this trip but it was ideal and having done one I will look into doing another. That says it all.

First-time travelers
Guided independence
“I felt I had the best benefits of a group tour – logistics, preplanning, support during the day, luggage handling, meeting new people – and the benefits of independent travel, in that I could ride on my own, at my own pace, and see the towns we stayed at as I saw fit, without being stuck with a group if I did not want to. A hard balance to achieve, but achieved it was.”
Steve B. Asheville, NC Bike Across Italy – Venice to Pisa May
