The tour is a combination of sightseeing and cycling. You will ride a manageable 30km a day, but because you'll cover quite a lot of ground and take in all the major sites, the days are quite full and action-packed. The riding is fairly easy, and will follow a wide range of trails ranging from canal paths, minor roads to dirt paths.

The trip is fully supported and your guide’s expert knowledge of the area and terrain means that you always know what is coming up in terms of distance and difficulty. This makes a tremendous difference, as does the constant supply of cold drinks and fresh fruit.
