Thank you Global Cycling Adventures for providing an excellent and memorable tour where we had a lot of fun and laughs, also making special friends.

Freddie June 22, 2018

Cycling Gavia and Stelvio in one day was a great achievement for all who did it and very memorable! The tour itinerary covered really all the highlights of the Dolomites - this is road biking in Europe at its best! A real highlight was the Hotel in Colfosco - beautiful rooms and incredible culinary delights plus lovely service!

Birgit June 22, 2018

What an incredible romp through Bavaria and along the Danube!
An amazing journey of changing sights and sounds, whether biking through meadows accompanied to the sound of cow bells, past castle ruins, under historic Abbeys, through vineyards, or alongside the mighty Danube it was never a dull moment.

Lisa June 22, 2018

A great blend of adventure, fun and social activity!

Robert Liberona June 19, 2018

The guides and crew were exceptional on our tour. I can’t say enough about how pleasant they all were.

Courtney Fraser June 15, 2018

We were planning to leave the Greece tour early, but the tour was so good that we decided to stay until the planned end. The guides and group were particularly good.

Jay Bartz June 12, 2018

We had an awesome time in both Bhutan & Sikkim. The cycling was hard in both places - either up or down - there is no flat - but the scenery, people, culture etc. made all the effort worthwhile.

Wendy Thompson & Peter Woods https://globalcyclingadventures.com/tours/asia/majestic-bhutan-cycling-tour/ October 30, 2017

Top notch, as good as it gets. A very special trip spreading the Kiwi love.

Pete Richards October 24, 2017

Great fun and a wonderful way to sight-see.

Murray & Vicky Henshall October 9, 2017

A tour of many special moments. For me the Greenland experience was the iceing on the cake. Overall the planning was meticulous ;the routes we cycled on, the hotels, the excellent food [ always a fan for buffet ] and of course the xtra sights and experiences along the way.

Graeme Oakley September 21, 2017

Fantastic experience and great scenery.

John & Marianne Duncan September 17, 2017

Greenland was stunningly beautiful raw and rustic, we will have memories for ever.

Todd & Marion Heller September 4, 2017

Greg Griffith September 1, 2017

Great team. Great travels. Great Norweigan adventure with the GCA crew. I'll be back for more.... That's a seal of approval✔️

Julie Norway Road Cycling Tour August 11, 2017

Too many beers, too little time. My first guided tour and I'd do it again.

Jeffery Berman Norway Road Cycling Tour August 11, 2017

The history, geography, itinerary and weather we had in Spain made this a great cycling experience.

Paul Talmage New Zealand Jacobs Trail Cycling Tour, Spain July 3, 2017

Overall the tour was excellent!

David Williams New Zealand Jacobs Trail Cycling Tour, Spain July 3, 2017

Ajaccio to Calvi was one of the best road rides I've done anywhere, Excellent mountain roads, well graded climbs, coupled with great scenery, through a world heritage area & overlooking the Mediterranean.
The Sardinian Island of San Pietro was nice riding and very interesting from a traditional cultural perspective.
Robert, our guide was extremely helpful and looked after the riders very well. He was attentive but still allowed us to do our own thing. VERY safety conscious which is crucial.

July 2, 2017

The e-bikes certainly enhanced our enjoyment of the spectacular journey this tour offers. Totally would recommend e-bikes on this tour!

Alistair & Ann Bennett June 12, 2017

My special experience of this tour was biking on an e-bike for the first time.

Althea & John Ormsby June 10, 2017

The Croatian Islands are truly beautiful, each one with its own unique feel. We were lucky, due to an itinerary change, to also see the island of Brac. We met a great group of people on the tour and shared so much fun & laughter with them.The ceaseless attention and hard work of our guides (Toni & Josh) and their support crew (Captain Pave & his team) ensured that the week was absolutely amazing!

Sue & Geoff Welsh New Zealand Croatia May 24, 2017

Both my partner and I enjoyed the tour and found the cycling was challenging at times but quite achievable. We found the scenery very interesting as it would constantly change.

Kevin Egger March 12, 2017

This was a really nice destination - didn't know exactly what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The guide included several (but not too many) extra activities which added regional flavor to the tour. My special experience was getting to ride an ostrich!

Neil Rowland March 7, 2017

Everything was done very well. South Africa is a magical destination for cyclists.

Sue Semple-Rowland March 6, 2017

I have nothing but the highest praise for our guides Vincentio, Ismael, and Alvaro. We always felt like we were in good hands with them, and that they had everything under control. They worked their tails off and made it all look so easy.

Ed Baggott March 3, 2017

An absolutely incredible journey and a huge, huge thank you to your team for making it possible. I really hope other people sign up for this trip and get to experience what we did. Whilst it was brutally tough at times, the scenery, the journey, and the kindness and organisation of the local guides and staff

Rebecca Wardell New Zealand Bolivia September 15, 2016

The entire experience of this journey is something I will be unlikely to forget. It was incredible. It was also tough. It was rewarding, challenging, adrenaline inducing, and jaw dropping. Full of so many moments that built on each other to make the entire experience unforgettable.

A great group of people which gelled pretty well and had lots of fun.

The whole thing was special for us, we had a great time. Great group of people.

Eddie & Anita Corrigan July 10, 2016

Ralph and the support crew were very supportive dealing with the special and spontaneous needs of many of the participants.

Martin Moore June 30, 2016

Excellent tour great to have 2 days at some places! Good mates and loads of fun! Rene was amazing - seems to really enjoy seeing the regular faces, always cheerful and ready to help!

Helene Hudson, Sardinia-Corsica New Zealand June 27, 2016

I thought the Island of Corsica was the highlight. Cycling predominately near the coastline,and the deep blue of the Mediteranean was very picturesque. Looking forward to the next trip.

Graeme Oakley, Sardinia-Corsica New Zealand June 27, 2016

Another great tour with Ralph and his team. I'm becoming a big fan!

Matt Lancaster, Portugal Bike & Golf New Zealand June 27, 2016

I loved the golf addition on the Portugal trip. I thought the whole adventure was a very special experience, as usual. Just getting away from home and having fun in some exotic new places with a whole bunch of old and new friends is special.

Tom Pryde, Portugal Bike & Golf New Zealand June 27, 2016

The Portugal golf / bike trip was a winner. It is a great combination. The courses were excellent - right up there with the best and the hire equipment was excellent. Great hotels, the food and service was memorable as was the destination. It went without a hitch.

Todd and Marion Heller, Portugal Bike & Golf New Zealand June 27, 2016

As a Lifestyler I would have liked longer rides but I do understand that it is hard to cater for a number of different riders.

Jenny Moreton June 23, 2016

Pure Bliss every day hills, hills and more hills, fantastic scenery wow it was fantastic, still on a high. Best day Day 22 Poured with rain, most got in van but 3 of us and Riccardo continued on and did 3villages etc Hardest day but so fantastic, 22percent climbs incredible scenery, pizza for lunch in village while we dried out, biking in scarey rain storms, totally exhausted at night but grinning from ear to ear, wonderful meal that night

Lori Slattery - Barcelona to Rome October 19, 2015

The Dalius George in France spectacular love getting up every day and only having a bike to ride, and a new destination.

Dallas McLister - Barcelona to Rome October 12, 2015

I had the ride of my life

Robyn Cole - Danube Bike & Boat October 12, 2015

My special experience of this tour was the wonderful countryside in Eastern Europe and the friendly helpful people even when language was a difficulty.

September 20, 2015

Guide was outstanding. Route was superb. My special experience was the meal at Le Robur Hotel in Roare, France.

September 20, 2015

Our special experience was the close encounter with the Lemurs at small nature reserve of Anja exceeded expectations.
Mora Mora.

Alistair and Ann - Madagascar September 20, 2015

I enjoyed a remote third world experience with like-minded travellers with good quality accommodation and food without the hassle of trying to DIY!

John Weller - Madagascar September 12, 2015

Just Do It! Anyone can, and there is always someone to play with in the large peloton.

Mary van Tongeren June 20, 2015

We had an amazing time on our trip and would like to take this opportunity to say how great the three guides were. They looked after us so well, providing snacks, checking our bikes and ensuring that our experiences were outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour and the Halong Bay trip to anyone that will listen. Thank you to you for your part in the organization of our trip as well.

Peter April 20, 2015

Perfectly wonderful trip - all aspects. Guides were just amazing - best in all the various tours I did while in South America. Can't sing their praises enough!

Olwyn McKay April 20, 2015

The tour was a real adventure, something that you put down as a life time experience. The guides were fantastic, very knowledgeable and always helpful.

Jane Powell February 14, 2015

"The bike tour was excellent, Klaus was an excellent guide and New Zealand is really well geared for riding around the country. All the rides were scenic and challenging.

Nina Reid Canada February 14, 2015

The trip exceeded my expections and we all loved Hoa. He was perfect for our group! Even the things out of our control (weather, flights being on time, etc) went perfect.

Kymberly Lehenbauer USA February 14, 2015

Great cycling, great itinerary, great guide, great time!

Graham Australia February 14, 2015

It was a fantastic trip! The support team was by far the best I ever had… The food was excellent, great healthy and tasty snacks, good instructions about culture and country, always smiling!...

Birgit Kley Germany February 14, 2015

This is a thank you and a huge recommendation to anyone interested in seeing Croatia the way we did with Global Adventure Guide. Everything about our trip in September was perfect, the boat, the guides, the food, the riding and Croatia itself was awesome. Our global adventure was brilliant!!

Ros New Zealand February 14, 2015

The people were wonderful - so friendly, the children would run from far in the fields to see us on our bikes for lots of high 5's. The game drives were amazing, we saw so much in Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara...I loved Tanzania and this experience got me out of my comfort zone

Murray Booth New Zealand Tanzania February 14, 2015

We enjoyed the friendship and encouragement of like-minded bikers and our safety was never compromised. This certainly was a life-changing trip for us and seldom a day passes that we do not reflect on our experiences.

Jackie & John New Zealand February 14, 2015

A very special challenging 3 weeks spent in a gorgeous part of the world with awesome company. To quote the feelers "It's as good as it gets".

Pete Richards New Zealand February 14, 2015

Fantastic trip. Cycling the HCM trail was superb. We understand many of the cycling trips are only down the southern coastal route but the northern sector from HaNoi down the HCM trail is a must. Highly recommend Global Adventure.

Ross New Zealand February 14, 2015

The overall experience was wonderful. A mix of fantastic scenery, daily exertion on the bikes, excellent tour guides who blended history ,geography and language with ensuring all participants were treated well.

Kees and Monica Haverkamp Australia February 14, 2015

Best trip I have ever had!!

Duncan New Zealand February 14, 2015

This was a fantastic cycling experience on par with cycling the south island of New Zealand from Bluff to Picton. The entire ride was enveloped in the French Alps - fantastic vistas and villages.

Sue Rowland USA December 22, 2014

Had the best holiday I have had in many years and would recommend to all my cycling friends as a "must do"

Juanita Australia December 19, 2014

I don’t care where we go, just give me an experience somewhere nice twice a year

Brian New Zealand December 19, 2014

It was the great surprise holiday - so much better than I had hoped it would be - well paced and within my relatively low fitness level, never boring because of the diversity to the areas we travelled through. This part of Europe the prevalence of bikes made it a pleasure to cycle - safe and well catered for. The accommodation was well selected, some better than others but all well located and many of the places first rate. I am a convert to this as a way of seeing the world.

Gabrielle O'Brien October 20, 2014

This trip was an awesome adventure to a very special unique country. The nomadic people showed us how simple yet rewarding life can be, in what can be a very harsh environment.

Ann & Alistair Bennett August 20, 2014

An amazing experience for a keen mountain biker who has been with Global Adventures for several trips throughout the world and for years to come. My wife also loves the way she is catered for as a non-biker. The experience starts with the promotional material, then the detailed notes, the trip itself and the final celebratory dinner.

John Brannock Mongolia August 15, 2014

The tour guides and all crew made the experience exceptional. We chose this tour so that I had the option of either the Ebike or ordinary and ended up deciding each day which I would choose depending on the climbs.

Kate Williams New Zealand June 19, 2014

It could not have been better!

Vance Yeomans June 18, 2013

My favorite climbs were Galibier and Izoard. Both were beautiful and everything I could have hoped for in an alps climb. On the second to last day I chose to ride unsupported (with a cell phone for emergency of course) and the ride was truly epic, 85 miles and 12000 feet of climbing. For me, riding alone, with the road and scenery as my companions is like meditation. It's so incredibly relaxing and invigorating.

Matthew Rowland USA June 14, 2013

An amazing experience through unbelievable landscapes, culminating in a tremendous sense of achievement when reaching the top of the highest road in the world.

Juan-Antonio Ibanez September 8, 2012

The enormity of the landscape in which we found ourselves each day - it was just breathtaking!!! Leh is indeed a very special place to end such a ride, surrounded by huge mountains.

Alison McConaghy September 5, 2012

Our special experience: Mingling with the "real" people of Africa and realising how lucky we are in NZ. Our in- house quote was DIA, meaning 'dis is Africa!

Alistair & Ann July 30, 2012

Our first riding experience overseas & most enjoyable. The prior arrangements by Global Adventure meant we could relax & enjoy the biking. Wonderful scenery & some great memories.

John & Marianne July 22, 2012

Tour guides (Robert & Maria) were fantastic. It was a tough but exhilarating tour.

James Romag July 14, 2012

This was a fantastic fun adventure full of laughs with great friends, old and new. The guides and support crew were amazing, the views stunning, the biking easily adaptable to whatever pace we desired, the food absolutely delicious, the history fascinating, hill villages captivating, and the Cretans so hospitable.

Lisa & Richard June 15, 2012

Overall I thought the whole week was simply fantastic and would rate as one of the best things I have signed up to do. At times I was very frustrated to say the least mainly with myself when we were on the 'off road' stuff when I wasn't expecting it. Only because I am inexperienced. I did learn a lot from other experienced riders in the group who had a lot to pass on.

Sue May 22, 2012
