Anyhow: All rooms are equipped with shower/bath and WC, and offer a comfort as corresponds to the category selected. We think that an eventful day on the bike deserves a pleasant end.

We'll provide you very exact maps and a detailed description of the routes. Frequently, routes are especially tagged leading to the selected destinations and to the nicest places of interest without any detours.
For some tours you also have the option of hiring a GPS device to ensure precise route navigation, upon provision of a deposit. This option is listed under “Prices & services” for the relevant tour.
Furthermore, the package includes a lot of indications and information as to the highlights at the roadside: whether it refers to architectural monuments, beauties of nature, or worthwhile museums. Thus, you'll never find closed doors or fail hidden places of interst.

We book your rooms at the requested hotel category, give you tips as to suitable clothing and luggage, and help you to organise your arriving and returning journey. We also gladly answer any further questions you may have.
For example, in case of cycle defect or flooding that makes a continuation of your tour impossible: no problem, we also work during weekends and your can reach us 7 days in case of emergency.
On the guided tours you travel with a group of like-minded individuals and can enjoy support and assistance throughout from our on-site tour guides. The tours take place on specified dates. If not stated otherwise in the travel description, the minimum number of participants in group tours is 8. This number must be reached until 4 weeks before the date of departure.

In the evening we always have a table reserved in a restaurant for a meal together. We also see to attend your special wishes. For instance, if you are vegetarian simply let us know on the registration form.
