I just wanted to take a moment and let you know what a great cycling trip we had with Cycling Country on the October 5th, 2022 8 day Enchanted Andalusia Bike Tour. From the very first email to the last goodbye, every detail resulted in the most incredible trip. Our group of 18, were so impressed with the quality and attention to detail everyone provided, to insure the very best of trips.
The 3 cycling guides led by Javi were excellent and provided the utmost care for the group. We appreciated the itinerary/safety meeting every morning, with a description of route and elevation gain or taking care in long downhill descending curves. We had one crash and the team was immediate with first aid attention.
The guides at Mosque-Cathedral,Cordoba and Alhambra, Granada, were excellent, attractions not to be missed. Javi helped out on the tour of Nunez De Prado, family olive oil processing center. Very interesting and informative.
Lodgings were worth the whole trip, historical and fascinating. Food was plentiful and delicious. Local wines were amazing and very inexpensive, 3-4 Euro in many places or came with dinner.
The biking equipment was top rate, we had road bikes with half of the group on ebikes. Note, make your decision on type of bike early on with deposit, as ebikes are becoming very popular and in high demand. Water bottles and beautiful jerseys were included. Also, phone holders and front handle bags were available with no charge.
Maria, Maggi, Geoff, the three guides, and Dean, are the most gracious and considerate individuals, one could possible hope for in planning your cycling trip. Excellent tour company with the most wonderful people.

My husband and I, along with a friend of ours road the last week of La Vuelta. Words cannot express how wonderful the trip was. Beyond our expectations. Geoff, Maggie and all the guides were incredible. They took great care of us. We had so much access to the race and behind the scenes details. One of the highlights was riding the time trial as the pros were recounting it. This is a lifetime trip. Highly recommend Cycling Country.

This was the second European bike tour I arranged with Cycling Country for a group of 22 friends from the U.S. Our first tour was along the Camino coast in Spain. The most recent in October of 2024 was in Portugal. It's always a gamble planning a tour from overseas but Cycling Country delivered such an incredible experience on the Camino tour that everyone who joined us immediately signed up for Portugal. That said, Cycling Country delivered again! Geoff and his team are outstanding with attention to every detail but not in a fussy way. Great routes, outstanding accommodations (palaces, converted convents) and most importantly a wonderful cultural experience. I'm already planning next year's tour with Cycling Country...can't wait!

We just finished the Cycling Country Bike Tour "Enchanted Andalucia" from Sevilla to Granada, and everything about it was great. Our guides, Geoff and Maggie (and company owners) were awesome. They had the route planned out perfectly, with coffee and lunch stops along the way. All of the accommodations were first class, better than my wife and I are accustomed to on our travels. I paid a little extra for a carbon road bike, and the bike fit perfect and rode like a dream. No problems at all, and if there were, Geoff was there for any minor adjustments repairs. They were also quite flexible, giving me options on several days to get some additional mileage beyond the planned rides. This was my wife's first ever multi-day cycling trip, and the experience was so good she can't wait to do another. You won't go wrong with Cycling Country, and you'll save a bundle compared to Backroads.

Our self-guided trip through the white villages of Andalucia was excellent. We have worked with many bike travel companies, and Cycling Country is one of the best. Bikes were in excellent condition, routes were well-chosen along low-traffic roads, scenery was stunningly beautiful, hotels top-notch comfortable and in beautiful locations. Maggi was responsive in answering our questions, and the ride went without a hitch. It is a very beautiful part of the world.

What a truly extraordinary experience! Maggi provided endlessly thoughtful suggestions and perfect recommendations throughout the planning process, as well as at each stop along the way, particularly the restaurants. The trip could not have been more perfectly curated or better supported on the ground.
Biking was absolutely the most beautiful way to explore the coast and the daily routes were well planned. Each day felt like an experience of a lifetime from the biking to the views and to the very fresh seafood and excellent cuisine along the way.
We left most days just after breakfast so we could be in the next destination by lunch time to explore the new place and enjoy the experience. I thought the hotels were also perfectly selected and all were notified in advance of my special dietary requirements.
It was my first time on a self-guided bike tour and while it took a little coordination and organization, I really enjoyed the freedom to be at my (our) own pace. Distances, routes and pace were all appropriate for the level.
I express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Maggi for all her assistance with planning and patience with the itinerary changes due to COVID (flights not the bike trip). I also thank Simon who looked after us locally on the ground. He provided excellent suggestions and flawless support.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review of our self-guided cycling tour, Spain’s Green Coast.
We do really appreciate any feedback and are absolutely delighted that you enjoyed this northern cycling route from Bilbao and came away so enthusiastic about the tour, and this area to cycle.
That is tremendous and that is what we like to hear!
We agree, there is a lot to see and experience in this area and one of the highlights is the food. So happy to hear that our dining / visiting recommendations were successful, the on ground contacts were helpful and the hotels were well received and enjoyed. That is Great news.
It was a pleasure to plan and organize this tour with you and we hope that you will think of us again for other tour adventures in the future!
Kindest regards,
Maggi

Last week I did the self guided Quiet Paths tour as a group of three people and had an amazing experience beyond my expectations. Maggi and Geoff made planning the trip a breeze and were incredibly helpful, experienced, and responsive.
To start with, the routes were beautiful. On the scenic loop we stopped constantly to take photos and take in the beautiful sights. Everything was easy to follow. Especially on the scenic parts there were many stretches where there were practically no cars at all which really made the experience so so freeing and enjoyable. Everything I wanted in a rural, scenic bike tour!
The equipment was great and very thoughtfully prepared. We received a hard copy packet with all route information, brochures, and step by step turn instructions. There was also an app (Ride with GPS) which they programmed with a daily write up of what to expect, metrics such as elevation, and a map with turn by turn instructions. I downloaded the app to my phone and during the ride, I kept the app on with the volume up loud and it called out the next directions. Very easy to follow. We used the hybrid bikes which were excellent.
As for lodging, all the hotels were excellent, beautiful, cosy, welcoming, and of course comfortable and clean. The food offered for breakfast and sometimes dinner at the lodging was excellent. I would love to come back to Cortijo la Fe in the summer for a week to relax! It was an unexpected hidden gem and and Nina and Jean were great hosts.
Maggi and Geoff were super responsive. At the start of the trip we were a little worried about the weather, since we were basically at the end of the season. Part-way through the forecast took a turn for the worse. We stayed in communication with Geoff and kept an eye on it. When we decided not to attempt the last day given the heavier rain forecast, we were easily able to communicate and arrange a bailout and we hitched a ride in the van with our bikes and luggage to the final destination in Granada.
Despite the challenges of planning a trip for three people coming from the different cities to meet and do a bike tour in Spain during covid, Maggi and Geoff helped us have an amazing experience with their excellent bike tour and professionalism. They know their stuff!!!
This was my first bike tour ever, and after such a great experience I would love to do it again with Cycling Country.

Cycling with Geoff the first week of the Vuelta 2021 was an absolutely Priceless experience. We cycled in 6 days about 450km, climbed well over 5000meters, and followed 4 days the Vuelta. Each day was beautifully different and very unique. Geoff could not have been a better host - knowing the intimate details of the Vuelta, the challenges of the roads in Spain, but most of all was good fun to hang around with.

Dear Bram,
Thank you so much for writing a great review about La Vuelta bike tour! What a memorable week that was – too many scenic kms to mention but most all of it was great getting to know you both. The smiles at the VIP stage finishes, that tough but epic Picón Blanco climb and the time trial we rode in Burgos (well I never saw you at the end as you sprinted off!) were so much fun to share. I hope you both return…or better still I hope to see you at the depart week in Utrecht, your home country the Netherlands, for La Vuelta 2022 of course😉. Best regards to you and your family, Geoff

Topnotch bikes, great routes, errorless GPS turn-by-turn routing via Ridew/GPS, thorough upfront info via website, email docs, in-person pre-ride briefing. And always a friendly smile. Lot's of hills w/ great views but not for the casual rider. Our trip had 3 E-roadbike riders which worked seamlessly and flattened the hills. All-in-all, highly recommended!

Cycling Country is an amazing outfit. We've traveled with other tour operators and this local company's personal touch--combined with excellent bike support and lovely hotels (not to mention competitive pricing and itineraries)--puts them over the top. We'll go again, and soon!

Hi!
We have been trying for days to get in touch with Cycling country - we have a trip planned to Spain next week and want to cycle in Granada when we're there. Does anyone have additional tips on how to get in touch with them?
We've called and left messages and written a few emails as well.
Thanks in advance!
