My children didn’t want it to end! It was a very full weekend, easy to follow and well organised. The routes were perfect for the kids, with stops designed for them to have a great time. We slept well, ate even better, and the guides were attentive to everything. We will definitely be back.

Laura

Pure disconnection. I loved the combination of cycling, sea and good food. Every day was different, but always relaxed, without rushing. The views, the quiet roads, and that local touch at every stop made me forget about my mobile phone for most of the trip. Just what I needed.

Sergio

Great for travelling with children. Safe, short routes, and always something new to see. From animals and hidden coves to charming villages, everything was designed to keep the little ones entertained. We also enjoyed it immensely, with no stress and time for everything.
