What People Usually Worry About

These are the questions we get most before a booking — and the real answers:

What if I get too tired to finish the day's route?: It happens occasionally, and it's completely fine. We can arrange a taxi transfer to your next hotel at any point during the day. Many routes also include shorter alternatives built in from the start. Just call the hotline — we'll sort it.
What if it rains all week?: Cycling in light rain is actually enjoyable once you're moving — and most guests are surprised how rarely weather genuinely ruins a day. If conditions are bad, we help adjust the plan. Hotels are flexible, and we know the routes well enough to find alternatives.
What if I miss a turn or get lost?: The GPS navigation makes this very unlikely. But if it happens, our hotline will have you back on track within minutes — whether that means talking you through it or arranging a pickup.
What if the bike breaks down?: We provide quality bikes that are regularly serviced before each tour. A basic repair kit is included. If something more serious happens, we arrange a replacement or technical assistance — usually the same day.
What if I'm not fit enough?: Our tours cover a wide range of distances and terrain. When you enquire, we ask how much you'd like to ride per day and recommend accordingly. There's no minimum fitness requirement — we match the route to the rider.

Not sure if this style of travel suits you?

Tell us how much you'd like to ride each day, your travel dates, and what kind of scenery you enjoy. We'll recommend the right tour — or build something tailored for you.

Our self-guided tours

Accommodation is one of the most important parts of each trip that strongly influences the final look of it. We make our best to offer you the best possible accommodation in the prefered category. The hotels we offer are either comfortable small hotels or quite guesthouses both in 3* quality, all of it rather small and with personality than big chain. All the tours have accommodation in or near the town/village centres so you can spend the afternoon and evening after biking exploring the town itself or simply enjoy the peace of the place.
