  The route was fantastic, lots of variety in terrain, scenery, towns and villages. The only thing missing was more of a cultural experience from the guide. He did a wonderful job navigating and finding good restaurants for dinner, but he was unfamiliar with the cultural and natural history of where we were. I would have gotten much more out of the experience with some background information on the unique places we visited.

  We had the most fantastic time. Lluis or driver chef and motivator was so much fun and very organised. His lunches were what kept us riding each day. There was always some fast pedalling when we knew Lluis was not far. Veronica our guide was exceptional. She had the ability to help the group bond and embrace and enjoy every moment of each day. Her knowledge and capacity to speak across languages made our journey informative and easy to communicate. I felt safe and was never in a situation of concern. The tour bikes were exceptional. The stays were local, comfortable and very accommodating. The local restaurants were fantastic and always wonderful to taste the local fare. I couldn’t fault this trip and our crew. Most of all we have made new friends and look forward to new adventures. mary -Anne

  The ride down from Banyuls, the flamingos of the Carmargue, the harbour in Collioure are just some of the highlights for me, but the whole trip was amazing.

  Your tour leader, Weronika was extraordinary - you could not do any better; Lluis as support with transport & picnics & bikes was brilliant.

  Great trip! Very varied terrain and a couple of challenging climbs. Fantastic scenery and excellent coffee stops. Super fabulous tour guide, Veronica, and awesome picnic lunches from our driver, Luis. Lots of fun and laughs, and we even learned a thing or two.

  We had a fantastic time on the tour. Our guide Veronica was amazing, as was our driver Michel. We were a fairly small group - 9 people - but we all got along well and looked out for one another. The itinerary was well planned and in general the cycling distance we did each day was well-matched to the group. I am a keen cyclist so personally I would have liked a bit more cycling - we averaged 50km per day and I would be happy for it to be closer to 70km per day with a bit more climbing - we only really did any climbing on 2 out of 6 days. I understand though that we had a wide range of ages and ability among the group so this is not a complaint. On the downside, our accommodation for the first two nights in my opinion was sub-standard and for the amount of money we paid I expect better. The accommodation in Barcelona on the last night was also barely adequate. The other accommodation was good, particularly the hotel in Figueres. My other complaint is that despite providing my height (170cm) there were no bikes provided that were even close to the right size for me. I ride a 52cm road bike and can manage up to 54cm, but the smallest bike available for me was 58cm, which is way to big. I managed with the 58cm bike with the seat at it's lowest height but my legs were still over-extending and getting on and off was very awkward, I would even say dangerous at times. If not for these two complaints I would have given a five-star review and I still give 5 stars for Veronica and Michel. Overall though it was a fantastic tour and we really enjoyed it. We would definitely book another tour with TourRadar.
