Very good for travellers who enjoy trains rather than buses. I particularly liked the Swiss Alps experience and the Rhine Valley. The tour leader was very helpful and patient with all of us. Great group of people too.
No words can describe this endless revelation of these amazing everyday sights - It was a wonderful trip to the beautiful land of Italy. Good food/wine and all of that adds up to perfect of a trip! Luca, our guide, was very knowledgeable, interesting and funny. The itinerary was varied and well-balanced. We loved the pace of the trip as we walked a lot every day. The food and wine were of course absolutely amazing, and we got to try some things we hadn't had before. We highly recommend this trip.
This was my first cycle tour with this tour operator and my first cycle tour in Italy. It will not be the last. The experience was awesome! I flew across the pond from the states expecting a great trip with two friends. It wasn't just a great trip it was awesome! We met the other members of our tour group and our fantastic guide Michele at the Mestre airport and traveled to Bolzano for our first overnight. We were fitted for bikes the next morning. Michele installed my seat and pedals from my bike at home. We were given a handlebar bag to keep and a pannier and lock to use during the tour. My bike was great and performed flawlessly for the week! The Dolomites and the Adige river valley are very scenic to say the least. The cycling was primarily on cycle paths. We didn't need to worry about traffic, we could just take in the beauty of Italy. The times we did cross or use roadways or roundabouts Michele was very careful to insure the group's safety. After a day on the bikes we bonded as a group. I came with two friends. I left at the end of the week with eleven other friends! The lodging was comfortable and the food was great! Michele even gave the option of a pre breakfast ride a couple of times to those that desired more saddle time. That's me! Michele definitely has a passion for Italy, people, and showing others a great time! He has a wealth of knowledge about Italy, and the towns and villages we passed through. Michele introduced the group to his family at dinner in Vicenza! The group enjoyed getting to know them. I strongly urge anyone with a spirit of adventure to take this tour. If you cycle at all you are set. If not grab a bike and cycle a bit or go to a spin class for a few weeks prior to your tour. It's relaxed paced cycling with a couple of challenges thrown in for spice. Michele will insure you will be a survivor and what views you will see and memories you will make!
