A personal challenge with 5 star back up! Routes were fantastic; every day slightly different. Scenery, roads and gradients constantly varied. Great riding always. Food was beyond expectations…even for veggos! The accommodation was luxurious. Last, but certainly not least, the guides. I would do future tours for the guides alone! Loved the history and Sam’s calm approach to the day to day, no matter what.
Amazing way to see the world with a fantastic company. I recommend this trip to everyone!
Had the best guides on the best roads, the accommodation was second to none, navigation was spot on and the food was exceptional!
I just did the Lionheart tour. The Bike Odyssey routes, accommodation, food and history talks – all amazing. But what made the trip outstanding was that Sam and his team went the extra mile (often literally!) to keep us safe, healthy and happy.
Fantastic trip and fantastic attention to detail from the team. Bike Odyssey sweats the details so you can just enjoy the riding, eating and the views.
The best in the business – sensational, organised and professional sums up the Bike Odyssey Team. The route planning is impeccable taking in the quiet roads and stunning scenery. Every day ends in another top class and unique accommodation with tasty regional food and wine. Nothing to think about once on the trip except the all important riding your bike.
Outstanding scenery, accommodation and food. Everything is taken care of for you, just get on your bike and enjoy the amazing scenery and excellent roads with very little traffic.
Thanks Sam and everyone at Bike Odyssey for a truly memorable holiday.
Extremely happy. Awesome route and on-road support, fantastic accommodation and food. As good as Hannibal which was my best overseas experience to date.
The trip was simply brilliant. The team were outstanding in their organisation and I always felt respected and very safe on the road. Our bikes and gear were well cared for, the food and accommodation was amazing, the riding routes extremely well scouted and thought through. I highly recommend Bike Odyssey and look forward to enjoying another adventure with them in future.
Hands down the best holiday I have had. Great food and accommodation, unbelievable levels of support from the Bike Odyssey team and the ability to completely unplug for large stints each day made this an epic break.
I’ll definitely be back.
If there was an option to rate 6 star, I would!
What an experience – there is nothing I would change. From start to finish, the location, the rides, the seamless transfers of my gear each day, the fantastic group of people riding, and the brilliant guides supporting us daily. I cannot wait to book another tour. Yes it is the only bike tour I have done, however, pretty certain it rates as one of the best.
Having toured with Sam and team on Hannibal in 2017 we signed up again in 2019 for another custom tour. The quality of the whole experience was impressive, from the route choice on the most scenic and quiet roads to the exceptional accommodation and regional food. All done in a relaxed way made us feel we were in safe hands.
Sam and the Bike Odyssey team exceeded our expectations on every level. Each and every day of our first European cycle adventure delivered memories of people and places that will last a lifetime. A test of mind and body, but a rich and rewarding experience that has whet the appetite for more of the same. We’ll be back.
Without a doubt your guides are the best I’ve had on any tour, and I’ve ridden more tours than I can count across the US, Europe and South America. This is what will keep me coming back to Odyssey tours. Also extremely important – willingness to let riders leave whenever they want in the morning and have the bikes out and ready to ride early. Much appreciated.
