    This was a great tour. The guide and staff were absolutely outstanding. It was a well-paced tour with solid but not exhausting biking distances.

    The Cycle Kerala & Tropical India bike tour was excellent. It was definitley a one of a kind trip for cultural and interactions with the locals. Our team leader Safi along with Frank and Shaker did a fabulous job of organizing the trip and maintaining, the bikes and dealing calmly with any issues that came up. The food experience was fabulous, and cycling scenery was so varied and interesting from busy cities to a mountain climb to Ooty. I would definitely recommend the bike tour .
