Paris to Geneva Cycle by mike, 15 Sep 2015
Holiday Rating:

Some good, some bad.

Cycling from paris to geneva.

Cycling from paris to geneva.

Rating for tour operator:

The good - great routemarking, hassle free riding, logistics on the trip all worked really well. The bad - route choice was sometimes awful - some really busy roads when quieter alternatives were nearby. The food was terrible, not enough proper food at rest stops (sweet alpen bars instead of sports bars or actual food) and being made to wait for lunch / dinner, sometimes for 3 hours, was just unacceptable after cycling for 7 hours. The DA team knew about the food and made arrangements for themselves to have more proper food during the day, but ignored the paying guests. I've done other trips with other organisations and they were miles better. I wouldnt use DA again.

London to Paris Cycle by Claire B, 7 Sep 2015

4 day, 300 mile London to Paris bike ride

I had an amazing time on the trip. It was a very well organised trip by Discover Adventure. The Discover Adventure team were very attentive and always onhand when we needed them. It was a fantastic route, particulary the day when we cycled through the Somme region. The finale when we cycled to the Eiffel Tower was fantastic, an amazing way to finish the trip. I would recommend it to anyone!

Charity Bike Ride organised by Discover Adventure

I have just completed a charity bike ride from London to Reims. Discover Adventure were the team who supported us. Their organisation is impeccable, they ensured we got through each day and got to our destination on time. They are very safety conscious which meant that there we no serious accidents in a group of 18 cyclists. No mean fit when you are cycling 320 miles. Gwen and Glenn July 2015.

Lands End to John O Groats by Ben Abrahams, 22 May 2015

Unmistakeably the best trip I've been on which is mainly down to the impeccable team at Discover Adventure.

I took part in the Land's End to John O'Groats cycle ride. It was a superb challenger that I did for myself and the charity. Discover adventure were second to none in providing only the best logistical, mechanical and nutritional support. I would use hem again anyday!

Cycle from Venice to Rome

DA organised and operated the 4 day cycle down to Rome from Venice, managing everything from food to hotels, and the staff were absolutely spot on - great cooks and mechanics.

Sri Lanka cycle challenge

Exciting trip, plenty of culture, heritage and scenic landscape. Discover Adventure crew very accomodating and knowledgable. Provided a real cultural experience, rather than getting caught up in the commercialised tourist traps.

China Great wall Trek

The time in china organised by Discover Adventure was first rate. There were some really good treks that were totally within everybody's capabilities, sometimes you get a group that take off never to be seen again on this holiday they waited for the slow people to catch up before going off again. The guides were knowledgeable and funny and obviously knew the areas well. The accommodation was sparse however this cannot be criticised as there ...

The time in china organised by Discover Adventure was first rate. There were some really good treks that were totally within everybody's capabilities, sometimes you get a group that take off never to be seen again on this holiday they waited for the slow people to catch up before going off again. The guides were knowledgeable and funny and obviously knew the areas well. The accommodation was sparse however this cannot be criticised as there will be different grades applied to different countries and this should be taken into consideration with any foreign trip. The food was excellent well prepared and fresh. (wont want another Chinese for a couple of weeks though). On the free day in Beijing some trips were organised that were extra to what we had paid for and my thinks goes to the organisers for doing this as I would have been at a total loss as to what to do. This is the second trip I have done with DA and it will not be the last

Rating for tour operator:

Discover Adventure looked after us really well al the accommodation and food was laid on there was a doctor on call if we had any trip related problems what can I say just well smooth organised and well oiled
