Cycling Holidays around the World

Nice site - i enjoy cycling holidays with my family and thought your main site was really helpful.
When I first decided to go to Ireland several years ago, I decided that bicycle touring with a group was the best way to see Ireland. I looked for a company that arranges lodging, transports luggage, and provides maps of routes with mostly little used backroads. There are a number of choices in Ireland. I did a lot of research. I believe that Irish Cycling Safaris is the best choice. This Dublin-based company has been providing bike tours in Ireland for over 20 years, and offers a wide variety of tour choices (also in Europe), including group, self-guided, and family tours. Their level of experience with Ireland is unsurpassed by any other tour company. I also found them kind, caring and attentive.
I am an experienced cyclist who has done more than 25 organized tours in the United States and Europe, including multiple tours with Irish Cycling Safaris. Overall, I would highly recommend Cycling Safaris to cyclists of all abilities. The rides in Ireland are mainly geared to the casual cyclist (but longer options are available for the heartier cyclist), and several of the tours are challenging. Details are outlined on their website: cyclingsafaris.com.
The value is also hard to beat. I have done several tours with designer companies that charge prices that range from double to triple the cost of a Cycling Safaris tour. If you are looking for the most luxurious lodging and gourmel meals, and one that caters to every step of your ride, Cycling Safaris is not for you. If you are looking for a little more independence that can provide a more rewarding trip, this company is a better choice. In additon, designer companies usually attract people from similar backgrounds. Cycling Safaris usually attracts people from different countries, and that makes for a very special week, especially the evening socializing.
I just started thinking about my summer 2010 cycling plans, and that will include another Irish Cycling Safaris tour. When I did my first one, I said to myself, this was the best vacation I ever had. So why not go back. If you are thinking about cycling in Ireland, Cycling Safaris is a great choice. If you have a regret after the ride, it will probably be that you didn't find them sooner.
