Editor’s Take

What to Look For in Cycling Tour Reviews

Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary. Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.

Most positive cycling tour reviews focus on the guide’s experience, energy level, knowledge about the destination and understanding of varying levels of fitness of the travelers. They’re often called out for going the extra mile, being encouraging and recommending off-the-beaten-path sightseeing and dining along the cycling tour route. 

Though in the minority, negative reviews of guided bike tours focus generally on the amount and speed of biking. Some expect to cycle quickly through their destination, getting as many miles in as possible. Others are surprised that the biking is more challenging than they had expected.

In most cases, research into the varying difficulty levels of a cycling tour, and its mission, will avoid this type of negative review. There are all kinds of guided bike tour operators out there, so take the time to determine which riding personality you are before picking a cycling vacation.

Are you in it for the fitness in a new destination? Or, is the sightseeing and wining and dining more important than the miles you cover in a day? Answering these questions will help narrow down the options and ensure you pick the right cycling tour for your travel style.

Worst experience.
Booked before covid, trip was cancelled due to covid, we were forced to rebook or we’d lose our money before a certain date. We still couldn’t leave the country during the second date. Great value did nothing. We had travel insurance so we cancelled and made a claim. Apparently you have to be dead to get your money back. We just lost $4200 and great value did not back us up. Unprofessional and disappointing

DO NOT a book with great value vacations. Scam

Excellent trip – the itinerary was well designed and executed. The Tour Leader (Maggie) was excellent, the bus was superbly clean, the accommodations were better than I had expected (most with air conditioning, and all with hot water). The food was somewhat bland - as expected.

Important note about money exchange for Americans: I suggest that travelers change money on arrival at the official exchange office at Havana airport. Americans will get a better exchange rate if they (step one) exchange dollars into POUNDS STERLING or EUROS at an airport in the USA *before* flying to Havana, and then (step two) exchange those Pounds or Euros into CUC at Havana airport. By doing this you will avoid paying the 10% penalty that is imposed if you simply change DOLLARS directly into CUC in Havana.

It was a great trip - exactly as it was described on the website. Consisted of a great combination of city/town touring and active hiking.

I just came back from a bike tour to Czech Republic, Germany and Austria. Everything was very well organized and planned. Nothing is perfect but this active/adventure vacation was very close to it, at least in my opinion and expectations! I will do it again.
