Linda and Doug Haynes took on a supported cycling tour along the delightful Danube and sent us in some cracking snaps from their tour. With gorgeous blue skies and lovely company, it looks like their cycling holiday couldn’t have been better. For more highlights see their feedback and snaps below:

‘We had an excellent trip. Good company and size of group. The leaders were excellent and well-prepared. Both leaders were superb. They complemented each other, swopping roles (navigation or back marker). They took great efforts to form a rapport with each guest and there was lots of fun throughout the trip. They were both very professional, being a step ahead with directions and guiding, and very encouraging when necessary.’ – Doug & Linda Haynes
