Classic Adventures Testimonials
This was our third tour with Classic Adventures. It couldn't have gone better. Great leaders & support who had great knowledge of the area. Benton, Sarah, & Vander made us feel a part of the family!
Thank you for your thoughtful and ever vigilant guidance & support through Greece, the land you love. We have gained insight and knowledge through your commentary, which we wouldn't have had in any other venue or with any other guides.
Lots of "goods" to thank you for - good biking, good scenery, good food, good group of guests, and especially good guides! Thank you for organizing and leading another terrific Classic Adventure. See you on another one for sure. In the meantime all the best to you and your family.
Thank you again for creating and supporting such a great bike trip through Austria's beautiful countryside. That week with Classic was the best part of our tour of Europe. The hotels were comfortable and had good meals, the route was really enjoyable, and you made the whole thing fun with your presence.
The hospitality, accommodations, food, daily activities, and leaders were all first class. We really enjoyed the tour.
From Corinth to Olympia it was a Greek adventure! Thanks to both of you for making the trip memorable. Good food, people, & bikes!
A very well run tour - enjoyed all the towns where we stayed. Food was the best of all our bike trips. (15 or so)
Dinner at Dale & Dianne's house was awesome. This added to the intimacy of the trip which I think is Classic Adventures' distinguishing point. ..so was having the Hart kids cycling with us on one day.
Thank you for such a satisfying and enjoyable vacation! It exceeded all of my expectations, and was worth every cent! It could not have gone better for me. You will see me on a future trip.
Thanks again for a great tour of the Finger Lakes! And thank you to Sarah who turned me on to Moby Dick. I hope our paths will cross again!
We always consider ourselves lucky that we discovered the gem called Classic Adventures. With our high expectations, you never fall short and we always come home with lifelong memories of a good time on a fascinating adventure with the nicest people! We hope to do more trips in the future and hope to see you again.
Thank you for a lovely bike tour. It was so good to learn about the Historic Erie Canal - what a great group.
