A challenge that keeps producing moments of pure gold

From start to finish this challenging holiday was so run. The organisation was superb. The route was so well thought out and marked out to be safe, yet still letting us soak up to atmosphere of towns and villages. Wonderful experience made even better by the leaders of the trip. The scenery was breathtaking at times and if it wasn't taking our breath away, the 20mile climbs were. Simply fantastic trip

From the moment we booked until we got home, they were a delight to deal with. Nothing was a hassle and I had very few questions to ask. Their information was so detailed yet they didn't give away too many secrets. There was still a lot of beautiful gems that weren't expecting. They thought through our whole trip and made it seamless. I've travelled with many operators but this one was stand out for me. Personal touches in all correspondence was wonderful

a tough challenge through wonderful countryside- that pushed me hard but not too far

4 day cycle from Geneva to Nice. It involved a lot of climbing (7000 ft per day), in very hot weather. The scenery was fantastic, the crew support great, and the other cyclists friendly and fun.

My son & I had a fantastic time and it was one of the best holidays I have ever had. It was really well organised & the four members of staff were as helpful as anyone could have been. I would certainly recommend this challenge to other people. Best regards Mr Collett

Cycled Lands End to John O'Groats over 12 days. Trip crew and organizing was excellent. Almost every hotel we stayed in was great and the dinners on the whole were very good and plentiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and have made some lovely friends along the way. What an achievement!!

Myself and my sister done the trek together in order to raise money for help for heroes. Neither of us are particularly athletic people and we hadn't done anything like this before so we nervous, didn't know what to expect and weren't sure if we could achieve it. The trip was simply amazing. I achieved things I never thought i would be able to, seen things not many people have seen, smashed personal targets and raised a lot of money for a good cause. The group of people I was with were brilliant, an excellent mix and all helped each other through. The leader were exceptional and very helpful. The accommodation was surprisingly quaint and the food was brilliant. We got to see parts of China and the wall that not many people will see which made it that extra bit special The whole trip has made me realise what I am capable of and what you can achieve. I will certainly be doing another DA trip in the future.

Rating for tour operator:

DA could not have been more helpful in the run up to the trip. No question was too big or too small and thy answered quickly and efficiently. There was lots of information provided which helped set my mind at ease about how organised the trek was and the quality of the service provided by DA. Our guide Kev was simple brilliant. fun, friendly and thorough leader who made you feel at ease, helped you every step of the way and seriously knew his stuff. The doctor Rob and his nurse wife Margo, were also equally as excellent, making sure we were fit for business everyday and supporting us all the way. The Chinese guide James was also brilliant, the Chinese ninja was simply excellent at his job and the 4 of them made the entire trip relaxed, enjoyable and safe. I cannot recommend them or this trip highly enough.
