Simon and Jess created a perfect tour for our family that ended up in a sweet, little Vermont village. You can tell that they have been doing this a long time; they have a the equipment, experience and system in place that is geared to handle any challenges and flexible to take advantage of all the surrounding beauty. We made an unplanned stop to go swimming in a idyllic spot in the river that made the ride all the more fun. When the kids tiered out, the bikes were quickly packed up in the van and we drove back. How sweet is that? Highly recommended.
Our family took a fantastic bike tour in the Green Mountain area of Vermont with Great Bike Tours. We stayed at the beautiful Amee Farm Lodge and biked from there into the surrounding countryside. Great Bike Tours will create a custom tour for you and they are full of suggestions for places to go and things to do in the area - hiking, swimming, tubing down the Tweed River and visiting quaint little Vermont towns! After all the adventures, relaxing on the deck at Amee Farm was perfect. Overall, it's a great option for a vacation that is both active and relaxing!
What an incredible vacation! I have memories that will last a lifetime! Simon, Jess and Elliott are the best, so experienced, personable and kind. They truly shared their love and knowledge of New Zealand. I learned so much from them. There were no worries for any of us on the tour. All details were covered, lodging was great and food was fantastic. The itineraries were varied and so much fun. They were flexible and anticipatory of our needs as a group and individually. I was impressed with every aspect of the trip!
Greg and I have enjoyed our biking experiences with Simon and Chris so much that we have notched seven trips with this dynamic duo and planning our eight trip to Florida, January 2015. On our last trip to Vermont ,we stayed in their bed and breakfast and met the "rest of the Great Bikes family" . Accommodations were wonderful. Looking forward to January when we again will travel with our great leaders. ..... Until we meet under the great Florida sun, Dinah
An excellent trip in a fascinating historic area. Staying at a lovely B&B all week was great and the meal arrangements and entertainment events were awesome! Simon and Chris are great guides and have excellent, scenic routes with support there if needed. This trip was chosen as an annual reunion amongst friends who take a cycling vacation together each year. Looking forward to cycling with Simon and Chris again and highly recommend to those experienced or new with bike tours.
The Florida Keys with Great Bike Tours was fantastic! It was well planned with a variety of activities and a good selection of locations. This tour company is relatively new, but the staff are seasoned tour leaders. Every detail was taken care of, leaving us to enjoy a stress-free vacation. It was a perfect combination of planned activity and time to explore on your own. We highly recommend Great Bike Tours!
Thanks for your kind review. We loved putting together this custom-designed trip for your group, and we can't wait to do it again next year!
Thank you for your review. We're so glad that you enjoyed your time in Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard. We always love hosting custom tours for you and your group, and we can't wait to travel with you in the Florida Keys!
We just returned from a 12 day bike ride and New Zealand experience managed by Simon, Jessica and Elliot. All three were caring, supportive and interested in us having the best time possible on our trip. They thoughtfully set an environment with lots of options and alternatives to maximize your experience which made this much more than a bike tour. Some of the options included an airplane ride to Milford Sound, bungee jumping, sky diving, hiking trips, museums, a working sheep farm were all stuffed into a mythical experience in a wonderful country!As others have noted, this team and company is attentive and caring, eager to help you with anything when you need assistance. Everything Great Bike Tours had a hand in arranging was first class. I'm glad we went, it was awesome, and I heartily recommend it to others.
A fantastic trip. Staying in the same B&B the whole time was great. Learned an awful lot about history. Food was great!! In fact at one dinner we met a couple who own a cottage on the same lake we own one. Awesome!!Lyn and Duncan Turnbull
