Giro d'Italia KOM Challenge

Thomson is the best in the business of high-performance bicycle trips. I have traveled with many companies in the past, but for challenging trips where the emphasis is on bicycle riding, there are none better than Thomson. The van support is excellent. In a typical Thomson tour, the clients are divided into several small groups, according to ability, with around 10 people/group. Each group has a support van and 1-2 guides. Although I have been the "lanterne Rouge" on many occasions, I have never felt that I was poorly supported, or forgotten. Many times it seems as if one is training and supported as in a professional team ! The guides are all excellent cyclists, and there are several of them riding at a time. There are enough vans on the roads to carry every single rider in a tour, unlike many other companies. I hope to do many more trips with them.

The trip was very enjoyable and gave me another entire understanding of the superiority of the professional tour riders. The almost unworldly beauty of the Dolomites was visually enhanced by all the snow. The Italian Alps and Dolomites need to be ridden to really understand the terrain of the Giro d'italia. Was an experience well surpassing what I thought I would encounter. The logistics and support of Peter and his staff gives everyone the opportunity for a lifetime experience that will be unforgettable!!!

Outstanding trip with staff who truly care about the guests. It was awesome.
