"The location is idyllic for bicycling. The optional distances are perfect for enjoying the journey, and the islands make you feel a million miles from the stress of daily life. The leaders were unbelievable – we’ve had excellent leaders with other companies but these were absolutely the best. We’ve traveled with 3 touring companies and all have been fun but this was by far our best overall experience."
