Giro d'Italia KOM Challenge

I've had some memorable weeks cycling with Thomson and had such high expectations of the Giro trip. They were blown away. Quite simply the best week that I've had on a bike - many thanks.

Having never been on a bike tour before, wasn't sure what to expect. Chose Thomson because a friend had a very good experience the year before. If you are in doubt, don't be. Thomson excelled in every level of professionalism. From the choice of daily routes, to the terrific van support (those guys are the best!), to the quality of rental bike and mechanical support, I was overwhelmingly impressed. The nightly briefings by Peter (answering ALL the questions), the last minute planning because of weather mandates, the group leaders nurturing and making sure all their group was accounted for, it was outstanding from the first pedal stroke.Then you can compare the quality of hotels and the food with any other group, and I'm sure Thomson will be on top! I felt like every day was VIP treatment! I've been biking seriously for 15 years, am 64 years old, still race, and manage about 150 miles per week (despite word). I can honestly say this is the best two weeks of biking in my life and I am now already wondering when I'll sign up for the next tour! Thank you Peter & your wonderful staff for making this first bike trip the best ever!

A stellar riding experience with Thomson with great support staff, particularly John and Rob on food and transport, and Libert, our superstar ride leader, who enabled me to successfully tackle the biggest mountains in the Dolomites. Nothing was too much trouble and clients needs were catered for wherever possible. It was an experience I'll cherish and I will ride with Thomson again. Andrew Foster
