Mythic Miles

As first-timers on a group cycling experience, this was an amazing kick-off ride for us. We loved meeting new people in our group and the warm-hearted locals along the way… always gracious and open. The breathtaking scenery was awe-inspiring, especially along the coasts. The history echoed through every destination. The food was some of the best we’ve eaten anywhere. The challenge of the many miles and numerous climbs was very rewarding, as were the twists, turns, downhills, and straightaways that allowed us to focus on the here and now of our surroundings. And our two tireless guides Alexandros and Dimitris dutifully kept us engaged, safe, and entertained. It was an adventure we’ll never forget.

Most Inspirational Moment

Day three, midway through the trip, we took a lightly-winding gravel path along the coast of Platanus that served up some of the most stunning views we've ever seen on the back of a bike. The path led to a beach where we swam in the sea and picnicked on delicious food before a rigorous climb out, up foothills and mountain passes before reaching our hotel and dinner restaurant, hosted by genuinely kind-hearted folks who helped make the perfect end of our day.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alexandros said he felt like a parent to his "children", guiding us and showing us parts of his world that made him happy, proud, and reverent of the Greek history and culture. We indeed felt his sense of responsibility and were very happy with his direction and never-ending energy to keep us all happy, invested, and on the right path.

Advice for Potential Travellers

We believe these trips are best for those who have an open mind about what they will see, where/how they will go, and what they will eat. Handing off our predisposition for a fair amount of control of our day was, pleasingly, a key part of our joy. We reckon most people who say 'yes' to this kind of journey are like-minded, but it's important to arrive physically AND mentally prepared. We left feeling a world more enriched than when we came.

A beautiful blend of history, scenery, and incredible food

I absolutely loved this trip! The cycling was perfect: around 90% on dedicated bike paths, with very little time spent on roads, which made it feel relaxed and safe the whole way through. Every day brought something different: charming medieval villages, peaceful countryside, and powerful reminders of history along the D-Day beaches. The food was a real highlight — from fresh seafood on the coast to delicious local cheeses and pastries, every meal felt like a reward after a day in the saddle. Mont-Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo were just as magical as I’d imagined. .
Overall, this was a wonderful balance of gentle cycling, culture, and great food — the perfect way to experience northern France!

Albania trip

Just back from a great Highlights of Albania trip. It’s a really interesting, beautiful country. I will spread the word to others to visit. Very economical and the guide was great. Artur was very knowledgeable and passionate about his country. He showed great care for all of us. The driver Diu was very calm and kept us safe. He was also very helpful with us and joined in with the group.

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved driving through the mountains

Great history leason but amzing views

This trip blew me away with all the places we visit, the beautiful accommodations we stay at and the views you get with each new day you have.

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the Pyramids up close and the sheer size of them

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was filled with tons of knowledge and knew the answers to all of our questions

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take loads of sunscreen, a big 360 degree sun hat and possibly a travel umbrella as well. There is not a lot of shade around. The swimmings pools are amazing for relaxing after a long day in the sun. You do also get loads of free time to explore on your own or do the optional excursions.

A Stunning Trip

I’ve wanted to do this hike for so long and it really didn’t disappoint. The days were long, steep and tough from the very first day to the last but the scenery was just stunning. I loved crossing from one country to the next, seeing the landscape change from alpine cliff to meadow, to glacial valley. It was beautiful. It is full on so get some hill training in but this really was beautiful.

Most Inspirational Moment

The Grand Col Ferret and seeing the Italian side for the first time - breath-taking. And the pistachio ice-cream in Courmayeur is an absolute must!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Adrian was superb. Some of our group struggled with this trek and he was constantly running up and down hills to look after everyone. He's a duracell bunny!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get some hill training in!

Tough but worth it!

This is a tough week (and I’ve done Kilimanjaro/TMB/Toubkal). Don’t underestimate it. Someone told me that in Romania the trails just go straight up – no zigzags and they really do! The ascents one the first two days are quite technical scrambles /climbs and the descents are absolutely knee-wrecking. So be ready for that and you’ll have a fabulous time!

Most Inspirational Moment

The climb/scramble up to La Om was something I'd never done before and it was quite challenging. Also both legs of the Ascutit Peak trail - it really was beautiful up there.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sebi was great as was Leo (and his bear impressions!)

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just don't underestimate this but if you're ready for some scrambling in an unspoilt area then go for it!

Fantastic!

A great trip. I had been most looking forward to achieving my first 6000m summit ( which I did 😊), but the trek itself was absolutely stunning. Fantastic coloured landscapes, very exciting river crossings, great array of alpine flowers (never seen so many eidelweiss in one place!), amazing food and crew. Would highly recommend this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Summiting Dzo Jonga. But some of the river crossings and passes were brilliant too.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Bring good river crossing shoes. I brought a trekking skirt following the advice in the trip notes, but actually shorts would have been fine. The luggage allowance is very tight going from Delhi to Leh, but our guide allowed us to use some of his allowance and although I didn't use it the cost for excess baggage is not expensive. I had my own equipment, but you can hire everything you need in Leh (which would also help with the luggage allowance). Would recommend taking the optional jeep trip (worth I for the amusing road signs as well as the views!).

A really lovely week

I’ve had a wonderful week – challenging at times but so worth the effort. Hotel was sweet with friendly staff. The local restaurants were very good too . Liz was a really fantastic guide – attentive, kind and extremely knowledgeable of the local area.

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspiring moment was being caught in the pouring rain on a hillside — soaked, laughing, and united by the simple truth that in the rain, we are all the same.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Liz was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgeable of the local area with a gentle, steady presence that helped everyone feel at ease and supported.

Great week - challenging at times but well worth the effort.

Stunning scenery, views and wildlife

We opted to do this over hiking Mt Kilimanjaro. So glad we did. I loved the variety of the wildlife and the hiking. The terrain was excellent with a good amount of challenge. Clifford our guide was fabulous. He pointed out the wildlife, gave us interesting information on all sorts of things and led our walks managing a range of abilities and speeds. We loved the trip and had an awesome time. Would highly recommend it to anyone.
