Guided
tours include:
Professional
bilingual guide
Our
team of experienced guides is composed
of only English-speaking,
local guides. We
don't hire students. The guides cycle the
whole distance with the group; they stay
with
the group from
breakfast to dinner.
Support
van
The support van increases the comfort level
on your guided
bicycle tour. It is equipped
with a bike trailer to transfer
your bike. You
can use it to shorten your trip, or opt out
of
difficult sections of the route if you so choose.
Accommodation in selected hotels and pensions
We prefer smaller, family-run hotels and pensions located
in the historical center of towns.
We always try to arrange
a good view as well. All rooms are typically double occupancy
with a private bathroom. Single rooms are available on
most trips for a supplement.
Buffet breakfast and dinner
A hearty yet healthy breakfast is essential for cyclists.
Get some energy to burn and
hydrate yourself properly
for the day. A typical buffet breakfast might consist
of bread
and
rolls, cheese and ham, jams and spreads, cereals
and muesli, fruit and yoghurt; coffee,
tea, milk, and
fruit juice.
We recommend sampling traditional specialties for dinner.
The guide eats with group and
can recommend a good dish.
YouŽll dine at quality local restaurants along the
way.
Luggage
transfer
The support van also carries your luggage
each day from starting point to destination.
Quality
bike rental
On your tour, you will be
riding a TREK bike. Our TREK 7300
FX hybrids are well suited
to all
of our
routes.
English route descriptions
Even though this is
a guided tour, we provide you
with detailed route descriptions
as
an
extra for
your information. We write
them ourselves, meaning that we have actually
covered every inch of the trail,
every bump on the route.
The result is
a clearly written set
of route descriptions that
guide you, km by km, along the trail,
and
supply you with
further
information
as well (points of interest, refreshments, etc.).
Detailed cycling maps
You will get a complete set of cycling maps with your specific
route highlighted. We use
the best, most accurate
topographical maps by national map publishers. The
scales are
detailed
at 1:50 000 or 1:75 000. Many are based on
military maps.
Town maps
For easy navigation in towns you get a set of maps of each
overnight town with the
inbound and outbound
route highlighted. The location of your accommodation
is also
marked.
Global
Positioning System (GPS) Navigation
Powerful and precise navigation is ensured by a
GPS. As an individual or in a
group (1
per
group),
you will get
a Garmin GPS. We pre-program your
route into
them, and
an arrow
points the way. The GPS
can
show you upcoming
turns, your speed
and other
data
during
the trip. This gives you greater flexibility
if you
want
to go faster
than the
group, or do
somthing on your
own.
Special guided tours for your group at chateaux, castles,
museums and other select attractions
Entrance fees to selected points of interest where you
have a tour are included.
Special
events, including wine tasting and picnics
Wine tasting and picnics are amongst the
highlights of our guided tours.
