Testimonial
“This tour varied day by day – interesting, the scenery spectacular and fortunately for us the weather was incredibly kind. Our accommodation was comfortable, central, and our meals above average and in most cases excellent.
Our guide has to come very highly recommended, a competent cyclist giving confidence and encouragement, amiable and caring and a very responsible driver also. Loved it and feel totally refreshed and as if I have been away on an overseas trip (being a North Islander!!)”
