Great value and routes we

Good bikes with some minor tune up needs, but a great route. We were lucky and had fantastic weather. Note that most of the wineries are closed on Mondays. We stopped at Hygge Cafe which has excellent lunch and tables inside and outside that face the sea with beautiful views.

Easy Cycling, views and wildlife aplenty. A great day out.

Excellent bikes, clear maps with a straightforward route. Amazing views and the elevated cycleways were exceptionally good. 99% is off road and easy cycling. Wineries are welcoming and make perfect stops towards the end. Thank you it was a wonderful experience.

Outstanding biking and wine tasting experience

Excellent organisation. Bikes were ready for us first thing in the morning- even individually labelled with our names. Every detail had been thought about and planned- bags for bike, bike locks given linked to our phone number, excellent detailed information. Pickup at 1600 as planned.
