Colconquerors Reviews 98

Spent an amazing week with Col Conquerers in the Italian Dolomites. As a previous customer i knew it was going to be good as the standard of accommodation is generally very high and the food excellent. Luckily the weather was kind which makes a big difference to these trips. I would recommend the company.

The high Italian peaks of the Stelvio, Gavia, Mortirolo are begging to be etched on your palmarès of cycling achievements. Colconquerors will deliver a challenging week in which you will tick these off and much more. With luxury accommodation, very tasty food, knowledgeable guidance and expert mechanical support; only the hard work of pushing yourself up the climbs remains.

If you want a challenging week of riding in amazing surroundings with all of the logistics taken care of and fantastic food then look no further than the Col Conquerors Ultimate Dolomites Trip. This was my first time on a week-long cycling trip and I absolutely loved it. Rob and Karen were the perfect hosts, always full of encouragement and enthusiastically sharing their many bike-based anecdotes. The cycling was just the right balance - tough but manageable. It's worth paying that little bit extra for Col Conquerors due to the quality of the hotel and the personal attention from Rob + Karen.

Really happy with Rob and the team from Colconquerors. This is my 3rd trip which is testament to the quality if the organisation - the last being within the Dolomites region. On the bike, all abilities are catered for with nothing too much trouble. The hotels and food have been excellently chosen - a reward for hard days on the bike. A great experience once more!

It's hard to imagine a better bike trip company. The Col Conquerors team are beyond magnificent. My friend and I booked the Ventoux weekend and were both incredibly impressed by the care and support we got during the trip. Rob is a mine of cycling information which he shares freely both out on the road and over meals and coffee. Karen is a one-woman support team offering the sort of care, encouragement and advice that I'm sure a pro-team would snap up. The routes and logistics were planned with precision and executed flawlessly, including working around some very variable weather. The on-the-road team managed different pacing in the groups well, and Mike was brilliant in pacing me up the final ascent of the Ventoux. The hotel they had selected was excellent and provided a good night's sleep and great food. I fully expect to book another trip with Col Conquerors and highly recommend them.

Mont Ventoux long weekend - Excellent trip - very well researched, organised and ran by Rob & Karen. Lovely hotel, great routes & on the bike support. I would happily recommend them to any cyclists looking for great tours.

The trip to Mont Ventoux, to complete a triple ascent in one day, with 2 other days of riding was amazing. The organisation was excellent, and made everything very stress free, from airport transfers, route planning and execution, to food options. The hotel was great and situated perfectly, with great facilities and very friendly staff. Rob, Karen and Mike who led the trip were great company and made sure we successfully achieved our targets and had fun doing so. I would highly recommend, and wouldn't hesitate to go with them again.

Once again we were perfectly looked after by Rob, Karen and Mike. Everything is taken care of, all I had to do was spin the pedals! Seemless airport transfers, excellent choice of hotels (including breakfast and dinner) and most importantly; fantastic guided and supported cycling.

Another great week with Rob and Karen this time in Gran Canaria! As always great routes, fantastic service and company. Not the last time for sure!

The quality of the whole week was exceptional. Karen and Rob made everyone feel so welcome from the start and go way beyond the call of duty to fulfill any needs and support each of the guests. Beyond this the quality of energy cycle support was incredible. I asked and received specific support from Rob about so many areas O cycling and improved massively in one week. Plus being encouraged to do way beyond what I thought possible for me. And I now have a follow up training plan. The cycling is adapted to the needs of each guest. And Rob is a natural teacher, imparting advice with a smile - or not if you want to just get up those hills. I literally can’t recommend these guys enough. And if you’ve had enough of cycling Karen is there ready for a chat and snack!

For me this was 4th time in Rob's capable company, as in the past Rob worked us hard, but in a manner that suite us all!

Rob and Karen run a very professional show and we will surely be back for more, GC is a perfect venue to "kick start" the season, in very pleasant weather. Again thanks a lot and hope to be back soon, for now a couple of "recovery days"

Everything a cycling holiday should be. Rob and Karen have thought of everything. Breathtaking routes, excellent support, good accommodation. I would highly recommend.

five trips now with Rob and his team, the latest being Lake Annecy to Alpe d'Huez in summer 2018. As ever, a very well researched itinery. challenging climbs, excellent accommodation and food and great support and coaching tips from Rob, Karen and Simon. Highly recommended

A great way to see what the Island has to offer. Well organised and run as always.Great rides and climbs, Nice one.Thanks, Rob And Karen

I went on the Colconquerors trip to Bormio in September 2018. It was my second week with them, having done the High Alps in 2016.

As expected, it was fab-u-lous! Great organisation and hospitality from Rob and Karen, excellent road itineraries (incl GPX files) and support from the van, wonderful hotel and great company. The scenery was stunning, and the ride up the Gavia from Ponte di Legno is my all time favourite ride.

I'm already trying to decide which trip to do next!

Everything a cycling holiday should be!
Excellent food, hotels & company. I will be back!

Col Conquerors always deliver an awesome experience. Rob and Karen ensure all abilities are accommodated and felt to be part of the riding group. The way the guided rides are organised are always professionally arranged both in terms of routes and in case on unexpected events & weather they always have a plan. I have been with Rob and Karen for 3 different guided rides (Alps week, Ventoux and Stelvio) lasting a week over the past 4 years and riding again in the Dolomites in June. You can always guarantee your cycling dreams will become reality with Rob and Karen - they always put you first and ensure you get value and enjoyment.

Can’t speak highly enough of Col Conquerors. A fantastic set up with service and support that will makes it feel like it’s your own personal cycling experience just for you! The reason I go back year after year......

This was my third trip with Colconquerors and it was fantastic. The attention to detail is amazing, Rob and Karen are charming, helpful and fun no matter what is thrown at them. The hotel was fabulous and the cycling was great but tough (it’s the mountains after all) and they even arranged amazing weather. I would recommend Colconquerors to anyone! They’re great!

This year I signed up for Colconquerors Galibier to Mont Ventoux trip and would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to challenge themselves
The organisation is absolutely first class with fantastic routes hotels and support on the road
Can not thank Colconquerors enough for making this such an epic week
