What our guests say...
I could ramble a list of superlatives. Suffice it to say that my trip was more than I could have imagined. The support before, during, and after the riding was just outstanding. Your staff is remarkable in their understanding and encouragement, invariably hitting the right tone. In all honesty I'm not aware of anything I would change. These trips were challenging rides for serious cyclists. Thank you very much for everything, it was truly a lifetime event!

2011 Tour de France Pyrenees & Alps
Unbelievable trip! I started thinking about the next trip before this one was over. You guys have set a standard in bike tours that will be hard to top. Will definitely see you guys again, soon i hope.
Vince Condello – Australia
2011 Giro d'Italia Trip
Best cycling trip ever! Trans-Cantabria was my 16th European cycling trip and my 6th trip with Thomson Bike Tours. I have used four different tour operators. None measure up to the standard set by Peter and his team.
Steve Johnston – ON, Canada
2011 Trans-Cantabria Challenge
This was my 4th tour with Thomson Bike Tours and each one has been excellent. The Trans-Swiss is challenging, well organized and beautiful. All you would expect from a Thomson Tour. It was wonderful to see "old friends" from previous tours, which is evidence of their repeat business. If you are a serious cyclist, Thomson Tours are the only way to go..
