" Great trip. "

This was a great trip, the bikes were terrific (definitely go for the e-bikes), the bike paths were clearly marked and easy to navigate and of course the wineries and scenery were spectacular. Randovelo were easy to work with and helpful and very reliable, high quality all the way. Definitely would use them again.
