"The whole team was great. Nothing was too much trouble, our itinerary was spot on and was tweaked on the fly according to our wishes and how the group was traveling. Can't recommend them enough, with a special shout out to Peter who was with us for the entire time and really made the trip something special."

- Mark, Australia

"Awesome service, we rented 2 Kona’s to ride the Vies Verde to Olot, the staff in the the rental shop was top notch. I’ve been a competitive cyclist for 30 years and I’ve seen a lot, these guys are number 1 in my book! Already looking forward to a longer stay in Girona."
