Saddle Skedaddle Reviews 

Our 6 night self guide holiday with Saddle Skedaddle was excellent. The staff were positive and helpful before we set off. Our luggage was reliably transferred and magically reappeared at each stop. The accommodation was excellent and the staff at the overnight stays extremely helpful and supportive. We had a gear breakdown on one of the e bikes and a very helpful and capable engineer found us and took the bike away for a while , leaving us at a Roman fort Museum, and later returned the bike , all fixed, at a very reasonable price. There needs to be better training with the navigation systems before departure but the team were always on hand when we rang in for support. We met up with the team at the HQ in central Newcastle where they were so supportive and treated us to lunch! All this was done on a 6 month knee replacement and everything went brilliantly. We will be looking at other adventures with Saddle Skedaddle! Thankyou to all in the team!

We had a fantastic experience on our guided cycle tour of Scotland. Great guides, who looked after us so well and were there ready to help with anything. Very professional!
The booking office was great at keeping us informed about anything to do with the trip leading up to departure. Also very professional and helpful.
We would thoroughly recommend Saddle Skeddadle and cannot wait to book our next trip with them.

Stunning route, great guides who go the extra mile plus a fun group who became friends

We went on the 8 day trip from Lermoos in Austria to Lake Garda in Italy. It was our first Skedaddle trip and our two guides were brilliant, catering for the whole group and ensuring we had the best time. The cycling was hard but doable, the scenery was fantastic. Mostly on cycle paths or quiet roads. If I was being picky some of the restaurants and accommodation particularly in Austria were basic but otherwise the trip met all our expectations and more.

This was a Lochs and Glens five-day self-guided trip.It was challenging and the weather ranged from rain to sunshine. We have cycled Vietnam and Morocco and this was by far the best trip because we were able to engage the locals,

The hotel selection was excellent. Great breakfasts. I flew in from Cleveland, Ohio and my daughter from Toronto, Ontario Canada.The local drivers are very respectful of cyclists and the national cyclist trails were well signed and maintained. The Ride with GPS App is a must and a first for us. Thank you Saddle.

The guidance provided by Saddle met our needs throughout the whole trip and thereafter. Alison at Saddle is a gem. We will be back for more adventures with Saddle.

We just returned from our tenth cycle tour offered by Saddle Skedaddle, a tour of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. We have had the pleasure of cycling in eight different countries, spanning the distance from Italy to Norway. We keep returning to Saddle Skedaddle for our cycling vacation due to the outstanding service provided by the company. Online information on each tour has given us a good idea of what to expect. Booking is quite straight forward. The information we receive just prior to the start of the trip has been extremely useful to help us to prepare for the trip. They even phone you just before the trip to make sure all is in order. Hotel accommodations are generally quite comfortable. Our comparison of costs among other cycle tour companies have shown Saddle Skedaddle provides good value for your money.

Most importantly, once the tour in underway, the guides are consistently wonderful. They professionally keep all cyclists, regardless of experience and fitness level, safely on course, provide tasty refreshments and lunches, and are a source of much interesting information regarding sites along the way. There is something particularly special about rolling into your lunch spot beside a beach, with a wonderful lunch spread already prepared for your arrival by the tour guides.

We can highly recommend Saddle Skedaddle for your cycling vacations!

We have just finished our first Skeddadle ride which was a 3-day ride along Hadrian’s Wall. A great well organised trip. We appreciated the pre-trip support from Ben and the team which all helped to make this a really memorable journey.

First time this route had been done and guides were not familiar with all of it - as a result some of the terrain was terrible and we had been told road bikes would be ok - well they certainly weren't - we had mud and I mean mud, sand, gravel, grass and woodland tracks. It is classed as a leisure ride but I wouldn't say getting back to the hotel at 6pm was a leisure ride. Weather was terrible on first day - torrential rain and high winds and as a result very dangerous at times - feel common sense and health and safety should have prevailed and maybe a shorter route would have been a better idea.

Great and sometimes unusual accommodation like agritourismos and paradors. Fantadtic routes to ride. Great support.

Sandstone Way, my seventh cycling adventure with Saddle Skedaddle and, as always, a well thought out route, excellent accommodation and great guides. I had a problem with my own bike on the second day - solved. The food was good, so thank you Liz and Mario.

Very professional company with excellent service before, during and after my LEJOG cycling holiday.
Friendly and knowledgeable tour guides who constantly checked we were all ok
on route and provided sumptuous lunches and snacks to keep us all fed and motivated to get the job done !.
I would not hesitate to recommend giving this company a try on your next cycling holiday.

Just finished our first trip with Skedaddle; Sacred Routes on MTB through Tuscany, self guided. It was fantastic, great and varied routes through the beautiful countryside and villages of Tuscany. Definitely will book with Skedaddle again, everything worked out really well and the GPS navigation tool worked great too.. didn’t get lost and didn’t fall off
Thanks

Excellent communication, nothing was too much trouble. The partner company in Ireland were also without fault.

This is my second trip with Skedaddle, this time to bike the coast to coast.
Both the guides were excellent. Lots of information was provided beforehand, gps routes of the ride were provided for day to day navigation on Garmin. Really friendly group from around the world and a sociable trip. I have some disabilities and the company worked with us beforehand to resolve any potential difficulties.

I love Skedaddle. The focus on cycling, (rather than 5 star hotels), the self-selecting bikers who are serious about cycling, the guides who are exceptionally knowledgable, patient, helpful, and, when necessary, firm.

Very good itinerary and great leaders great accommodation

A brilliant holiday, experienced and knowledgeable guides. I was the first trike cyclist they had ridden with and were totally welcoming.

Got to be the best cycling holiday company in the uk. They go above and beyond to look after their customers

We spent 1o days crossing Hadrian's Wall, then north up the coast to Sea Horses, and then finally inland and north ending in Edinburgh. A self guided route the routing instructions were excellent. The written instructions were detailed and accurate. The GPX files were absolute and never failed us. All we had to do was get to the end of the route and then look around, our accommodation would be in sight! Accommodation varied in type (B&B or Hotel), and we were consistently well received. We have taken 6 similar holidays in the UK and Europe previously and this one was the best overall.
