From the communication pre-trip to the implementation, they just did everything right. Our guide (Andre) was perfect. I can’t stand to be baby-sat or watched over and he combined the perfect amount of making sure we had what we need with not bothering us so much that I felt mothered. His advice, his preparation, his logistical support all the way through to booking restaurants was perfect. We are an independent couple very able on our own and this was our first supported bike trip and it will most certainly not be the last. I only wish this company did tours all around Europe so we could keep using them.
