Feedbacks
The bikes worked GREAT, no flats or mechanicals all week. Fantastic equipment all around. AND the routes you planned for us were amazing. Beautiful scenery and villages to discover, plenty of challenges with all of the climbs, and the roads were ... in really good condition with minimal to no car traffic. Also, the hotels were both fantastic, We will not forget our tour… and are already dreaming of what might be next!!

I did a customised 10 day French Alps tour. The 3 hotels I stayed at were very good and far exceeded my expectations. The GPS route tracks are very simple to follow. The bike I hired worked flawlessly. The scenery was breathtaking.
Thanks for your email. We really enjoyed our trip - everything went off without a hitch. The hotels were nice and we were particularly happy with the routes that were suggested. We had some very beautiful rides.Thank you for making our vacati ... on a great pleasure for us!
