Editor’s Take
What to Look For in Cycling Tour Reviews
Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary. Remember, just because you see a 1 star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.
Most positive cycling tour reviews focus on the guide’s experience, energy level, knowledge about the destination and understanding of varying levels of fitness of the travelers. They’re often called out for going the extra mile, being encouraging and recommending off-the-beaten-path sightseeing and dining along the cycling tour route.
Though in the minority, negative reviews of guided bike tours focus generally on the amount and speed of biking. Some expect to cycle quickly through their destination, getting as many miles in as possible. Others are surprised that the biking is more challenging than they had expected.
In most cases, research into the varying difficulty levels of a cycling tour, and its mission, will avoid this type of negative review. There are all kinds of guided bike tour operators out there, so take the time to determine which riding personality you are before picking a cycling vacation.
Are you in it for the fitness in a new destination? Or, is the sightseeing and wining and dining more important than the miles you cover in a day? Answering these questions will help narrow down the options and ensure you pick the right cycling tour for your travel style.
