“We had 7 days of warm weather as the backdrop to the tour of the beautiful countryside of the Dordogne region. The ride and several climbs which were challenging for me on a regular in the unusual warmth in June (especially on the 2nd day on Monday). My wife was on an electric assisted bike and was rather comfortable. We were mainly on small roads or farm roads, so we did not experience much car traffic.
We made a loop starting from Les Eyzies and went through 5 other small towns and cities. We visited mills, castles, and natural attractions such as the caverns at Padirac and prehistoric cliff dwellings in Roque Saint-Cristophe. The main attractions are the beautiful vistas over the Dordogne river valley.
We fueled our rides with full breakfasts at the hotel. For lunches we picnicked some days and ate at restaurants or cafés on the route. We were rewarded each evening with a dinner of delicious foods from the region which include duck, paté, and rocamadour cheese - all appetizingly presented.
Our guide was great: warm, conversant, and completely knowledgeable about the region. We had a rollicking time with our fellow tour members.” Less

“This trip far exceeded my expectations. The bike tour staff was available and helpful prior to the trip. The hotel Lauren where we stayed was immaculate and the meals were those of a Michelin star restaurant. We hadn’t expected dinner to be included so that was a really nice surprise. The app for our phone was very useful and the routes we rode were each unique and allowed us to explore different parts of the dolomites. We rode E. bikes and were appreciative of the assist. The bikes arrived at our hotel in perfect, well maintained condition. I have recommended this trip to our friends who ride. I can’t imagine how it could have been improved.” Less

“The good:
Most of this tour was like stepping into a beautiful alternate reality where the hustle of modern life doesn't apply. We saw loads of horse drawn wagons, shephards tending to their flocks of sheep, community wells, and very little modern "progress". The food was amazing, the housing was awesome, the local tour company was more than responsive and super helpful.
This trip doesn't have bike paths. The very beginning of the ride and a good bit of the last day is on busy roads. The rest of the tour is on extremely rural roads.
Many places the water wasn't drinkable. Not a huge problem, but you do have to plan ahead (buy water). Unlike other European bike trips we've taken there weren't coffee shops/restaurants/gas stations for breaks.
We loved talking to the guest house owners and hearing their view on the history and culture of Transylvania.
If you want to get off the beaten path this is a great trip.” Less
