Ride and Seek Bicycle Adventures Reviews 24

Always an excellent experience to go on a Ride and Seek tour. I’ve lost count but I think I’ve done 10 or the next one will be the 10th. Great planning, detailed scouting of the routes, excellent accommodation and meals, fun experiences on rest days. All of that means the groups are serious about riding but also love to have fun! Try it!

I’ve traveled by bike for over 40 years and this was the best trip ever. Great guides, excellent rental equipment (ebike in my case), and great pacing. Definitely a trip for serious bikers, but plenty of accommodation for someone riding 50 miles and not 70.

I had high expectations and my three weeks in New Zealand exceeded them!

This was my first tour with R & S; I rode the third leg of the Strzelecki Tour across Tasmania. I have zero negative comments. The support and logistics went very smoothly, and our support team was wonderful! We rode well, we ate well, and we socialized very well. Probably the best organized tour I've ever done. Will certainly use R & S again in the future. Five- star experience!

We rode the first 2 stages from Sydney to Melbourne of this 3 stage tour with Ride and Seek. Routes were planned meticulously across amazing scenery with mostly positive surprises in the quality of the accommodation and food. The Ride and Seek team made the experience truely memorable always looking after us with a smile on their faces.

Great trip with excellent guides and organisation. Bike was good (Lynskey titanium) and Corsica is beautiful.

Ride & Seek has created an amazing team of guides and trip coordinators. Beyond being skilled at planning out logistics and mapping out gorgeous routes to bike, they are genuinely good people with a range of talents from story-telling of history to curating delicious snacks and lunches to making you laugh while climbing tough hills. It all adds up to a next-level experience and in turn draws an equally lovely group of guests, making all the difference. Connecting with other bike vacation lovers from around the world on Ride & Seek trips has led to friends and memories of a lifetime. Thank you!

I was fortunate in 2021 to be able to ride three tours with Ride and Seek - Appalachian, 1st half of Caesar, and Marco Polo. That's a few months with these folks and a lot of riding, border crossings, hotels, restaurants, area covid rule changes, R&S guides, plus the other thousand things that come up unexpectantly on any tour. I can honestly say that for the entire time I was in comforting hands of R&S, I had zero negative experiences that I could attribute to R&S (any problem I had was because of some bonehead thing I did, not R&S). I've done many R&S tours over the years and they have consistently delivered top notch service and experiences without fail. Here's an example: the guides know I enjoy leaving early and riding extra miles if possible. On Marco Polo, we had a day in Trogir, Croatia where we were looking at 2 ferry crossings. The guides created a custom route on my Garmin that allowed me to leave early, log some extra miles, and only have one ferry crossing (and still stay at about the same overall time as the main group). Plus they would create custom Garmin routes for me to ride on days off so I could enjoy some of the fabulous hill country along the route. That is just a small example of all they do to make your experience memorable and customized. You will not be disappointed with any R&S tour. I should know because I've done just about all of them.

The Caesar tour produced memories of a lifetime! Cycling through the Burgundy Region, Alps, Dolomites, Apennines & Tuscany Region were splendid. The Nufenen Pass, Stelvio & San Boldo Pass were iconic & extraordinary experiences!! Thanks to Ride & Seek for a remarkable adventure on a bicycle.

Marco Polo Stage One exceeded all of my expectations. Dylan and his team of Marcello, Ben, Colette and Ben provided a seamless experience in spite of all of the logistical gymnastics that had to be performed to execute this trip. The rides were challenging, the food was delicious and the scenery was spectacular. I was always rested and ready to hit the road for each enjoyable day. This is a well run company where you show up on day one, and everything will be taken care of for your entire trip. They also go the extra mile in providing thorough pre-trip information and providing answers to all of your questions. I look forward to riding with Ride and Seek in the future!

Ride and Seek provided an excellent, carefully thought out and balanced experience despite a daunting set of logistics, some of which were entirely unexpected. Upbeat and helpful to all the riders, it was a great tour for everyone. I am looking forward to next years tour already. Thanks R&S!

I just finished Stage 1 of Marco Polo. The guides were very flexible with all of the different levels of bike riders. I really enjoyed myself and i rode an electric bike which the staff was very helpful helping me

Definitely a trip you will never forget. Ride your bike while you are pampered by first class guides, (Dylan, Marcello, Colette, Ben & Ben were the BEST) beautiful scenery, fine food and great lodging…… Plus, an added bonus of understanding the local history. Ride & Seek takes care of ALL the details for you so you can relax and have fun while exercising. A first class experience ALL around.

If you're looking for active fun while exploring different parts of the world but yet not having to worry about the details - Ride n Seek is the company for you! They are true pros in every sense of the word and always have a smile on their face.

We hope to join them again on another trip very soon!

My husband and I just finished up The first leg of the Marcó Polo ride from Venice to Dubrovnik. This is our second ride with Dylan and team (first was in Japan in 2019). Although there were many challenges for the R&S team (weather, strikes, ferry cancellations), as riders, our experience was a seamless as could be. They met every request with a smile. Even in a group with varying levels or skill and endurance, I know everyone felt they were able to ride their ride. I chose an e-bike for the first time ever and it made the experience far less stressful for me since I could much more easily keep up with my hubby and friends. Can’t say enough about the Ride and Seek team. They are pros in every sense of the words. Thanks, guys!

Just finished the “mini” version of the Marco Polo tour from Venice Italy to Split Croatia. This is my first experience with a bike touring company and I could not say enough good things about Ride and Seek. Such friendly and accommodating service. Most of the touring members on this trip had done tours with them before and I am definitely coming back for another trip next year. Looking forward to reconnect with fellow riders again.
Highly recommend Ride and seek for any level rider that wants to ride some new adventure.

Just back from riding most of Caesar part 1 (until work got in the way!) from London to Salins les Bains. Another fabulous adventure with R&S. the combination of a fantastic route, great support and hospitality and a truly delightful group of riders made this a very memorable trip. I am still “surfing” on the memories and canny wait for my next tour. Thanks to all of the R&S team for looking after me so well!

Our first trip with Ride and Seek, the Napoleon Epic from Paris to St. Petersburg over a 5 week period in summer of 2019, exceeded our expectations in every way. We very highly recommend Ride and Seek!

The customer service was really professional all across the board, from pre-trip planning with Tiffany and Dylan, to our extremely qualified, in-exhaustible and unflappable, cheerful and kind guides: Ben, James, Richie and Colette, Ben K and as an added bonus owner Dylan rode with us a few days! The routes and rides, logistics and support vehicles, picnic lunch spreads, varied unique and interesting accommodations, delicious dinners, history lectures, bike maintenance, massages, special events and extra touches… everything was painstakingly planned and exquisitely executed. No detail was too big or too small for this crew, they worked tirelessly and made it look effortless.

We are signed up for back to back Epics (Samurai and 3 Islands) next spring and intend to do 1-2 Ride and Seek trips a year for as long as they’ll have us!

Our first time with Ride & Seek. A flawless custom bike tour around the Mont Blanc. 4 days & 4 nights, fabulous and challenging riding, stunning views and everything taken care of. Our only job was to get up and ride. Dylan and James did a cracking job of planning the route, dealing with the logistics and accompanying us all the way. It was a wonderful experience and will no doubt be the first trip of many. We’ve already started planning for next year!

I have been on 4 trips now with Ride and Seek. The most recent was the inaugural Marco Polo first stage in late 2020. A fascinating and smooth tour leaving us largely ignorant of the cancellations, reschedulings, and closures that failed to interfere with the plan. The Croatian islands each had their own character and special interest ranging from coastline huggings cliffs, cute ports, and harbours with thousands of years of history, to superb olive oil tastings. The riding was varied and hugely satisfying, the overnight stops likewise, the food was an unexpected bonus and the geography and history encountered had us scrabbling around on google to learn more and understand it all. The local welcome exceeded expectations and we came away determined to sign up for stage 2 of this mammoth tour. A real adventure off the beaten track and a must for anyone who loves something new!

I have travelled with Ride & Seek for four of the Epic journeys and can truly say that they are second to none. Their attention to detail, the quality of the food and accommodation and their personalised service is truly 6 star. I have booked another tour in 2022 and look forward to catching up with Dylan and the Ride & Seek Fideli in the years to come.

This is my second tour with ride and seek and not my last, they never disappoint. The guides are fantastic, giving you feeling as if you are in summer camp without a worry in the world. As a traveler, you get immersed in the world you are traveling in; with knowledge of the area, history, food, routes and hotel stays. The guests job is to peddle, snack, eat, laugh and sleep. Is there a better vacation? The trips can be a cycling challenge, but when you are finished, you have made new friends, arrived home more fit and proud of your accomplishments. Hmmm, time to book another journey! Put Ride and Seek on speed dial and create unforgettable memories.
