Bike Odyssey Reviews 82

A great trip all around; beautiful Tasmania countryside, well organized, excellent communication, helpful leaders (Cam for President), outstanding restaurants and mostly top-quality hotels. I especially appreciate Sam driving us two hours to the airport due to our leaving the trip early. Very kind of him.
I would eliminate Hawley House next time. Our room was in the back, smelled like dogs and the mattress was so soft and uncomfortable that I opted to sleep on the floor. The food there was excellent though.
Otherwise, a challenging, gratifying and memorable trip.

First tour was Tassie Had a great time. Looking forward to doing Morocco in 2021

As inexperienced cyclists we were very capably supported throughout the wonderful Che tour, an exotic, challenging and exciting experience. Wonderful arrangements, great guides and support staff, and the ability to adapt to the different needs of the riders and local situations. They were also great at helping the group gel and work well together.

I did the "Che" tour from Lonquimqy to Bariloche. There is no better way to see these countries and especially the Andes. The cycling routes were sufficiently challenging and the time off the bike was also spectacular. Accommodation was frequently a destination in itself. Sam, Max, Manuel and Shane were excellent guides/hosts. They set up some awesome rides so we could have the experiences. How could I forget the last grossing on mountain bikes? It was tough but the rewards of the scenery made every pedal stroke worthwhile. The 80km lakeside route culminating in the climb of Volcan Osorno was awesome and as always was rewarded with a pisco sour. Every day exposed us to the beauties and cultures of Chile and Argentina. Great people, great challenges and countries that took me to places I'd never imagined! I'll be lining up for another tour next year.

Everything was done exceptionally well - from the amazing route and scenery, the scrumptious picnic lunches, the fantastic accommodation and first class evening meals.The relaxed, yet organized atmosphere that Sam and Cam created among all the riders was the cherry on the cake. This was my first tour with Bike Odyssey and I give them the highest of recommendations.

An excellent experience from the first enquiry to the last day of the holiday. The routes, accommodations, picnics and the support on the road were all excellent throughout the trip. The routes well thought out and the bike I hired from them was excellent.

I have recommended your company to several people whom I thought could be up for a reasonable physical challenge. Apart from all the enjoyable benefits of such a trip/holiday and in addition the historical component that appeals to so many and is such a marketing plus, I have also pointed out the cost benefits to both mind, body and purse, compared to similar (though probably cheaper) options - such as a cruise - as a no-brainer.
My only “criticism” was that a couple of hotels were too unnecessarily lavish, not only for those, like myself, of a simpler fare liking, but possibly also for some others who are there more for the riding and rest factor. Long, lavish and late in the evening meals are less easy to rest and recover from the next day and it is difficult to be unsociable! But what a “complaint” that is!
The other fabulous aspects of the ride - for a an eviler beginner like me, was the support of the tea andvehicle if required. Lovely fresh foods also. So glad I did the trip and now looking forward to The Allies-WW1 & 2 next year.

Great company with some of the best bike guides around. Nothing was ever a problem for them. We got to see some of the best country side as we made our way through the route. If there ever was a problem or concern, it was discussed and dealt with straight away. I would highly recommend going on tour with them.
