I've done many Inntravel cycling holidays but this year, for the first time, I opted for an e-bike. I was slightly apprehensive beforehand because I'd never ridden one, but I'm now absolutely hooked. I'm a slightly slower cyclist than my family and whereas I have held them up in the past, this year I was the one that could power up the hills. Huge fun. Furthermore, the e-bike will open up more challenging Inntravel cycling routes to me in the future. I opted for a Grade 1 short break in Catalonia. Next year though I might choose a Grade 2 or even 3. I hadn't realised that there are 5 grades of assistance with an e-bike from 'off' and 'eco' right up to turbo, and I could vary the help I was given by pressing on 'plus' or 'minus' as I was pootling along. There was even a button to press for when you want to push the bike - the manufacturers have thought of everything.
We had a wonderful trip - it couldn't have been lovelier. Great weather too. Thanks for making it all so perfect.
My wife and I recently completed one of your self-guided tours. Our tour was "A Short Cycle through Catalonia”. I just want to share with all of you how very much we enjoyed the entire experience. Every detail was exactly as it was supposed to be. We were picked up and “delivered” by a very helpful gentleman on the first day, our hotels were excellent, the bikes were perfectly fitted to our needs, the route directions were easily followed, included meals were great, and our return “delivery” was on time and very pleasant. Bottom line… we loved the entire experience.
We had a fabulous trip. The weather day 1 was challenging with the wind almost blowing us off the bikes! But the visit to the runis at Ullastret made the effort worth it. Day 2 was gorgeous, riding mostly on quiet bike paths and finishing at spectacular Llafranc. Day 3 was completely different again as we visited all the beaches. Both hotels were amazing. All in all a fabulous family holiday.

We were very impressed with the efficiency of Inntravel staff, the quality of the accommodation, transport/transfers and the travel pack.
A tip for other potential travellers, who may be considering this particular holiday, is they might wish to upgrade to electric bikes as the bikes were a bit heavy especially if they are not regular or seasoned cyclists; but the routes were good and generally flat taking in lovely countryside and interesting medieval villages on off road cylepaths with very little traffic on the minor roads. This is a good hoilday for anyone wishing to be a bit more adventurous whilst not being too strenuous or daunting.
I normally plan and arrange our own holidays but due to limited time opted for a tailor-made holiday from you. I was so glad I did. I'm not sure we would ever have found the places you suggested. We spent the four days trying to decide which was our favourite part and couldn't! It really has been one of our favourite holidays ever, so relaxing. Thank you.
The route, scenery and Catalan welcome was fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed the food however by October many restaurants have closed for the winter so a quick phone call in advance of any planned visit is advisable, but we did find a venue every day.The route through orchards, vineyards, olive groves and woodland mostly off road was the perfect relaxing cycle ride for a relaxing break.
The highlight was the cycling itself through the picturisque routes, the easy and pleasant cycling because it wasn't so steep and with e-bikes it was much easier for my aunt and her friend to cycle long distances.
A fantastic tour through the Catalonian countryside, with 1000-year-old villages, fields of flowers and fruit trees, beautiful coastline and beaches, and some awesome food along the way. Two really nice hotels - one a historic building, and one absolute beachfront - both with super-friendly staff. I loved the exercise and my wife loved her electric bike!
A delightful holiday in the most beautiful Catalan countryside - with a fabulous mix of wild flower meadows, orchards, woodland and beach. Everything worked perfectly with friendly and comfortable hotels and food at each stop. Many thanks.
