Cyclomundo

We recently did the Dordogne trip with 8 people and it was great! It was the first bicycling tour for my husband and I but all the others in the group have done others. The cycling routes were filled with amazing villages as well as a number of tourist sites to visit if you wanted to. Because it was such beautiful countryside, at times we got confused on the directions, but between the turn sheets and the GPS, we always figured it out. There were hills but nothing really steep, You do have to earn those beautiful views! The hotels and meals were wonderful. The bikes were good. We are already planning our next tour with Cyclomundo!
Thanks, Bruno!!!

My wife and I used Cyclomundo for a 5 day and 4 night bicycling tour in Bordeaux. To say the least, it was an excellent time. The rundown:
–The bed and breakfasts we stayed at were amazingly nice: great hosts, great food, nice rustic locations right in the grape vine fields, they also provided picnic lunches!
–The bicycles were of great quality: hydraulic disc brakes, comfy seats, front shocks, odomoter/​speedometer, saddle bag rack + saddle bags and lock.
–The paths outlined gave great views of the countryside and took us to some really very neat historic sights. While we certainly made a few wrong turns based on the directions, nothing took us far out of the way and it was easy to right ourselves.
–Most of the riding was flat, but there were definitely some big uphills. If you want to be able to ride up all of them easily I’d suggest you do a bit of training in advance :).
–The taxi service that took us from our hotel to the bicycle shop was right on time.
–Our luggage was moved between locations completely hassle free.
The only thing I would say would be a nice addition is if the directions could be provided a few days in advance in PDF format. This way you could build the map into your smart phone. Even if you don’t have a data signal your GPS still works and so long as you preload the map you can easily follow your blue dot. Sometimes it was rather frustrating trying to read the directions while riding (it rained on us a bit and made it hard to read through the plastic map cover), especially since in a lot of cases there aren’t road names marked etc.
All in all an excellent time and I would definitely use Cyclomundo again.
