CYCLING THE CAPE & WINELANDS
The tour leader Rudi Swanepoel & driver Jabula worked very hard to ensure the holiday was a success. Rudi is still young but he dealt well with the group.
The tour had a great mix of cycling and sight seeing.
Most Inspirational Moment
The landscape is fantastic and the coastal rides were a real highlight.
Trip to Robben Island.
Whale watching in Hermanus. ( A must trip ).
Thoughts on Group Leader
Rudi came under pressure from the front riders to extend the rides and change the itinery, he coped well with this.
Rudi & Jabula worked well as a team.
Advice for Potential Travellers
If you want to do some sight seeing in Cape Town then either go prior to the trip or stay for a few days at the end, as there is not enough time without.

CYCLING THE CAPE & WINELANDS
An excellent trip where the first half of it is very European (Dutch and Scottish Highlands) followed by areas with different wildlife. Coastal areas provided great viewing spots for whale watching and the views were great too! Needless to say the wine was very good so bring plenty of cash for this. Local food deffinitely worth trying!!
Most Inspirational Moment
Last day cycling up to and around Chapman's Peak especially as the rainy weather gave way to sunshine.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I can safely say that our leader was second to none compared with all other work/adventure travel I've done. Nothing was too much trouble, attended to all our needs and always provided alternatives if there was no immediate solution. His local knowledge and enthusiasm was excellent which made the trip that more enjoyable and fulfilling.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Come prepared for the weather!!! The weather can be very variable especially in the winter with strong winds and driving rain followed by glorious days of sunshine. Mornings can be very cold especially at the beginning of every ride. BRING A UK TO S.A. POWER ADAPTOR. VERY DIFFICULT TO BUY LOCALLY!!!!!!!

CYCLING THE CAPE & WINELANDS
This part of South Africa is definitely the right place to go on this type of tour. Relaxed and quality experience. Out of this world beautiful sceneries, stunning coastal routes… To my taste, the weather is just right for this physically quite demanding experience: not too hot and not humid.
Most Inspirational Moment
Breathtaking downhills.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Peter is a really fantastic, amazing and one of a kind tour leader! He is very professional and organizing, resourceful and very patient, attentive to every detail, goes extra mile to take care of you. Could not be better.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do not forget to take with you all the proper gear: gloves, gel saddle, cycle shorts etc are essential for long cycling days. Sport drinks contributed to my performance on last days :-).

CYCLING THE CAPE & WINELANDS
An excellent trip for those who enjoy some exercise with the opportunity to celebrate each stage success with the odd tipple, plenty to see and do and with variety wildlife, wine, whales, wine gums. The scenery is fantastic and varied plenty of high speed down hill stretches after the odd climb a hidden gem. Local food was fantastic and plentiful 460 km in the saddle and I put on weight!!
Most Inspirational Moment
Probably finally ticking whale watching off my list unfortunately the wind off the coast prevented the planned cage diving and trip to Robben Island. The final coast route into Cape Town caps of the trip longest day but it flies by
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent leader and driver always part of the group as well as doing the organisation, cooking and demonstrating patience with some of the groups "characters".
Advice for Potential Travellers
Local bikes were fine although they need some maintenance through the trip, bring a gel saddle and padded shorts to protect those piles
