 "Yes
we do have a fairly serious
complaint - now
that we've been on this
tour,
everything else will be second rate!"
Lynneth L.
"The
scenery was fantastic and the routes
were exciting to travel
- you have done a
good job of planning exciting and
stimulating routes. We did try to use the
GPS once,
but didn't have much success.
The maps were much more useful.
We found
that, if we checked the maps the night
before, we
had very little trouble
navigating
the next day."

"Thanks
especially for mapping out fabulous backroads, historic gems,
glorious
countrysides
and romantic riverways. It surpassed
our imaginations!
The bikes performed very well!"

"It was the first bike tour for both Verena, and
I, and we both
had such a great holiday,
and really appreciate all the planning
that must go into such a week. I loved having the
personalized
maps, itinerary, and information pack, and the hotel bookings
and luggage
transfer appeared completely trouble free. To
arrive in Tabor the night of the start of the
festival was
very exciting."

"We have many stories—the farmer in his tractor just outside
of Estabrun in Austria who
pulled over and offered us a room; ordering
lunch at the Restaurant Sokolna and having the
owner of the restaurant
put his friend on the phone who greeted us with a hearty
"Welcome
to the Czech Republic" and invited us to his summer place; conferring
with the
townspeople in a beer hall about whether the turn in the
directions was really the turn to
Orek for 45 minutes (they could
only speak Czech, we could only speak English so it was an
interesting
conference); mistakenly walking into the town hall in Cieszyn and
being greeted
by the Burgermeister then getting a tour of the town
hall and inner chambers; having a
gentleman share a meal on his
plate with me and it being so delicious I ordered a plate
myself
then searched throughout Poland again to find the dish. The sights,
the smells, the
taste of the food, the friendliness of the people
will stay with us for the rest of our lives."

"We just returned from a bike trip in Moravia and
the Southern Czech Republic. It was
excellent, thoroughly enjoyable
and just right in terms of physical challenge. Arrangements
were perfect and the tour kit was so thorough that we had
no call to seek help."

"I
was most impressed with the service that you provided. At every
opportunity you
exceeded our expectations. Our
special requests, a customized trip with double daily
distance...and so many
other
issues were all
dealt with courtesy and efficiency and
always with a smile and
a great
attitude. I
think that you could give a number of well
run American
companies a
lesson in
customer service."

"The
bikes worked out well and I'm very happy now to have reserved
that tandem
with you in August, as I ended up powering my mother along for the better part
of the
week, so that she could enjoy the scenery. At age 75, I reckon she's earned the
right to
have her son do more of the work."

"The
four of us on our bicycle trip through the Czech Republic in
late August have to a
person voted Lada our best guide
ever. He not only is a skilled guide, an excellent
communicator
and a very good historian but a truly nice person. He was
able to take us on
a very short detour to visit his home and
family which was an unique treat."

"Our guide, Petr Antonin, was fantastic. He worked so hard to make the trip
a great
experience for all of us. He's an enthusiastic cyclist who obviously
enjoys meeting people
and showing them the beauty and history of the Czech
Republic."

"My wife and I bicycled the Amber
Trail
from Budapest
to Cracow through the low Tatra
mountains of Slovakia. We
experienced beautiful
scenery while biking up narrow
forest valleys to mountain
plateaus with splendid
vistas, some challenging long
ascents following by exciting
downhill rolls, pleasant overnight stays at small inns in
historic mining
towns,
and interesting encounters with the
local people,. At each end,
there were
the
fascinating cities of Budapest and Cracow. It
was one of our greatest
bicycle
trips."

"Everything worked out extremely well, the GPS and cue sheets
got us exactly where we
were to go each day with barely a
false step, the hotels were fantastic and exceeded our
expectations,
and even the weather cooperated - just a light rain one day
for an hour. The
towns were all interesting and the routes
you selected were great for biking. No hiccups
with the baggage
transfer, or anything else. You guys are organized!"
