We have completed 16 cycling holidays and this ranks in the top 3! The area is stunning, the cycle path perfect and the organization by the team was impeccable. The accommodation and food was excellent and people we encountered during the week were helpful and friendly. Like the bikes, the holiday went very smoothly!
