Awesome scenery and high altitude beers
Just got back from our Bavarian Lakes cycling holiday yesterday. We had a really enjoyable time but by far and away the best time we had was our week cycling. Scenery was awesome,the weather was incredible and certainly that part of Germany is wonderful cycling country. The beers went down very well at the end of the day and we certainly had no trouble sleeping!
We had a beer at the top of the Zugspitze,certainly the highest beer I have ever had without being on a plane. We will definitely do another bike trip with Skedaddle,it was great fun.

Great fun, amazing scenery, wonderful people
This was our first cycling holiday and everything ran smoothly and was consistent with the package we booked and was in line with our expectations.
The first day along Lake Starnberg was amazing but our favourite days riding was undoubtedly the ride from Garmisch to Wallgau along the Isar Spring.
An amazing adventure and a good character builder. A lovely way to spend a week with your partner and working as a team and feeling a great sense of achievement at the end of it. We were knackered after day one and our bums were numb, but five days later we almost cried when we said goodbye to our bikes. Finally, we would just like to say that the Munich tragedy unfolded as we took off from Munich Airport and we were very touched that Saddle Skedaddle texted us to make sure we were OK and offer any support we needed – that was a touch of class; well done and thank you.

Our trip to Bavaria was certainly an experience never to forget
Unfortunately we arrived at the beginning of a week of Arctic weather with snow, hail and freezing temperatures. However we made the most of it, wrapped up and were rewarded with some outstanding scenery as we cycled through the snow covered forests and riverside paths.
All the arrangements were first class as usual. The cycle from Bad Tolz to Munich was really good. Started off cycling through snow covered forests and ended up cycling along a lovely riverside path in short sleeves. Really good maps and directions. The route guidance stickers on the way were really helpful.Very good bikes. Well equipped.
