Cycling holidays with Pedal Ventures

My husband and I recently completed a Pedal Ventures bike tour from Orleans to Saumur France and really enjoyed it! The rental bikes were in good condition, the back-up from the company was good, and the scenery was awesome.

This trip was well organised with support delivering baggage to the next hotel in timely manner. Dealing with Luke from Pedal Ventures was fuss free, thankyou Luke. The ride is described as a moderate ride; there were some tough climbs but the views were worth it. I've done some cycle touring in the UK but these mountains would have defeated me without the use of an electric which helped a lot. Distances are easily managed. Slovenia is a lovely country to visit and Bled a cracking town if a little expensive to eat out. That said, aside from Bled I found meals, wine etc to berelatively cheap. Plan you cycling times though as I failed to reach a restaurant for lunch at 2pm but there again the continental breakfasts were huge. If you do go ask to stop at the glamping site on days 3 and 4. Its absolutely stunning and for me set the accomodation standard both in terms of substance but also a welcoming service. One aspect worth considering is planning how to get back to Ljubliana airport. There is a transfer to Bled but you need to sort this out at the outset. I enjoyed it so much that I'm going to come back with my wife.

Spent a week cycling along the Danube with my wife, enjoying fantastic views and delicious food everywhere we stopped. They took care of our luggage and were always on hand if we needed help. Luke was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us pick a holiday that was well suited to us. Would happily book with Pedal Ventures again!

My first time on a cycling holiday and Pedal Ventures made it way easier than I expected. Clear info, simple booking, and the routes in Tuscany were spot on for a beginner like me. Ended up having a brill week with zero stresses!

I’ve done a few cycling trips before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but Pedal Ventures were great! The tour difficulty rating system was actually really accurate so the routes ended up being spot on for both of us. Really smooth experience from start to finish!

This was my first cycling trip away with mates so I needed a bit of help on what was necessary. I was so pleased with how helpful Pedal Ventures were with making sure I had the best deal and best cycle routes in the areas where we stayed. 10/10

(Translated) We had an amazing time with the Pedal Ventures tour of the Douro Valley vineyards. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully curated. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the Douro Valley in a more active and memorable way. We'll definitely be back!

Hugely enjoyed my week cycling in Italy with friends, booked through Pedal Ventures. This was my first cycling holiday and I found the booking easy and the info received in preparation for the trip very clear and straightforward. We are already looking forward to booking a cycle tour of the French vine country next year!! Thank you for arranging it for us

What a trip! Thanks Pedal for making our adventure extra special. After having done several trips across Europe, I can safely say Pedal have been the easiest company to deal with, going the extra mile on our special requests. Thanks again guys!
