From Corinth to Olympia it was a Greek adventure! Thanks to both of you for making the trip memorable. Good food, people, & bikes!
Thanks so much for a wonderful time. You guys made it special. We hope to do it again soon. All the best.
I especially liked riding through rural Quebec and the small towns. Sarah & Benton were perfect guides and made dinners fun.
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.
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.
Enjoyed the personal touch of going to leaders' home for wine and cheese. It was a good thing we had a light lunch, the amount of food was just right!
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.
We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Romantic Road with you. Thank you so much for your patience and for the historical lectures. We hope to join you again in the future.
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 a most wonderful "Classic Adventure" complete with fabulous meals, accommodations, splendid scenery, castles, churches, private art tours, and of course perfect weather. Hope to see you on another adventure.
Thank you so much for this terrific bike trip. We enjoyed it all. Hope we can join you on a future trip.
I came on this trip because Paul (spouse) wanted me to. I ended up having a wonderful time, thanks to your nice routes, but especially Benton, Sarah, & Vander. They went out of their way to make us comfortable and have fun. We really enjoyed our lodging, and the restaurants. All was fantastic!
