            The best riding holiday I have had so far. Service by Skedaddle was motivational! The team were always supportive, fun and helpful.

            The three guides were excellent in all aspects and maintained the high Skedaddle level. Thanks very much Skedaddle.

            Faultless guides and trip and I absolutely loved the riding. Honestly was the best organised trip I have ever been on. Ran like clockwork! Steve was faultless even with a large group.

            I have travelled with other companies on mountain biking and trekking holidays, but Skedaddle were in a different class with this trip. An awful lot of planning and effort goes into making a holiday so enjoyable and it showed. The landscapes changed with each day’s riding, as did the accommodation with some lovely agriturismos in great locations.

            Always well organised and great support. Nothing is too much trouble on a Skedaddle Holiday. I always recommend them to other cyclists. Best day was the last one, great technical uphills and top downhills. Brilliant.
