Feedback: Guided

"The trip was great. We were able to see two great cities as well as a number of other towns in between. Not having done a foreign bike tour I did have some trepidation about our ability to do a self-guided tour. Now having done it, I would say that it was actually the best way to go. We rode at our own pace and stopped as it suited us.

"Even though we were given a map and detailed directions, we were pretty much able to exclusively use the markers along the route as our guide. The markers basically made it so we didn’t have to slow down to figure out where to turn next. The bike company people were friendly and we never had a problem with luggage transfers.

"The towns along the route ranged in interest. Some were beautiful with interesting sites and places to eat while others were pretty much a place to stay until the next morning’s ride. The hotels were modest but acceptable. The scenery was nice and seemed to get more interesting the closer we got to Florence.

"Overall, the trip was well-prepared, well-managed and great fun. Thanks for everything!"
