Customer Reviews
Toevallig waren er deze dag geen anderen in onze groep en hadden wij een privé tour met Michaelis. Hij was erg klantgericht en heeft goed voor ons gezorgd. Uitleg en gezelligheid onderweg. Mooie fietstocht door de bergen, langs de wijngaarden en olijfbomen. Genoten van de uitzichten tijdens het easy-going fietsen met de E-bikes. Het klooster was de moeite waard om te bezoeken. De lunch was lekker en gezellig. Dank Michaelis voor deze leuke ervaring.
This cycling tour was a highlight of our trip. The views were absolutely stunning—rolling hills, peaceful villages, and a beautiful monastery that was well worth the ride. The E-bike made it almost effortless, with a few climbs along the way Our guide was fantastic, super knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great local stories. They really brought the history and culture to life. The food was delicious, the route was well-paced, and for the time and experience, it was great value. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a fun and meaningful adventure!
Mooie fietstocht, gewldige gids en top lunch. Gewoon een prachtige dag!!
