UK - Way of the Roses - Supported Leisure Cycling Holiday

Excellent...

Nothing was too much. The pre holiday information was excellent. Transfers from location to location went smoothly. All other holiday arrangements from room bookings, restaurant table bookings etc were well organised.

Our favourite day was riding out of Settle (day 2). A personal challenge, where everything went well. Loved the downhill into Pateley Bridge.

It was a fabulous experience...

It was a fabulous experience, lovely scenery and great stops. The accommodations were all very welcoming. The first two days were very hard but also scenic. The leg from York to Driffield over the Wolds was our favourite, especially the valley after Millington Woods and the wonderful long downhill after that. Our guides Rob and Dave provided amazing refreshments, asked what we would like and tried very hard to source things we asked for. Rob was brilliant. He kept an eye on all of us and was very supportive to those of us going a bit more slowly. The morning briefings were very good, all the meals were well organised and everyone was listened to and looked after. Both guides worked well together to make a professional and fun team. All requests before the holiday were dealt with quickly and our request to drop off at home when the group stayed in York was accommodated.

A beautiful route

This was my first Skedaddle holiday and it was a great experience. I had such a good time that I didn’t want to go home at the end of the holiday. I certainly hope to go on more holidays with Skedaddle in the future.

The route was beautiful, the group got on very well together, the accommodation was very comfortable and we had great food. However, in my opinion, it was our guides, Tom and Sarah, who really made it such a great holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for them, they were friendly and relaxed and they both had a great sense of humour. At all times I had complete confidence in them.

The refreshments and lunch during the ride were tasty and very welcome...

I thoroughly enjoyed the Way of the Roses ride, with good company, tasty food and nice weather. I especially appreciated having my bags carried by the van and the refreshments and lunch provided by the Skedaddle guides. Despite the hills I particularly enjoyed the first day for the beautiful scenery and sense of achievement.

Guides were simply outstanding

Our guides were simply outstanding – both of them as willing, positive, optimistic, encouraging and helpful as the other. We could not fault the service they offered from early morning until the end of the day They were knowledgeable and always there if one of us got left behind or had an issue. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Nothing was too much trouble...

Rob was exemplary. His knowledge of the route was very good and his encouragement and guidance was very subtle. Nothing was too much trouble for either Rob or Dave and I appreciated them joining us for the evening meals. Their people skills were fantastic, helping the group to gel and the trip a great success.

I had a fantastic time!

I felt amongst friends immediately. I haven’t felt so relaxed or laughed so much in a long time. Brilliant pre-trip info. I especially liked the personal phone call the day before to check if I had any final questions.

Carolyne, Wakefield

Les was a great guide...

Nothing was too much trouble for our guide. He was really friendly, approachable, accommodating and smiley. He particularly picked up on our requests for specific food items, such as jelly babies and Tunnock’s caramel wafers to get us up and over the hills! Every B&B we stayed in served us with a smile and nothing was too much trouble.

James in the office was always really helpful, a friendly voice at the end of the phone, and quick to call back if a message was left when he was unavailable!

Jo, Oxford

I can't fault the service...

Wayne’s helpfulness and cycling experience was very much appreciated. The lunches he put on were great. He is a credit to Skedaddle.

We hope that our (bicycle) - paths may meet again!

Thinking back – it has been a really nice summer and one of the highlights was our trip with you on the Way of the Roses. We had such a fine time with a lot of good fun and enjoyed every moment together with you. We hope that our (bicycle)- paths may meet again sometime and thank you for the good company in the summer of 2013.

Superb pre-holiday information! A very well organised cycling holiday! A query I had about my bike was quickly answered by telephone.
