REVIEWS

Arrangements were clear, mapping perfect using the app. Bikes were well prepared and ran smoothly.

We arranged our own ferry in place of flying and can recommend Condor from Poole to Guernsey / Jersey.

Overall great experience with excellent suggestions of places to see.

Roads were quiet once away from the main towns but cycle lanes and motor vehicle restrictions ensured safety even in the busy areas of St Helier and St Peter Port.
