“Having never really cycled before, the challenge of cycling from London to Paris was HUGE. However, both Jason and Paul did an amazing job in supporting the team of mixed abilities and experience through the 3 day tour. Extremely professional, and a very well organised itinerary. I would seriously recommend ECT for anyone looking for a great adventure with the security of knowing it’ll be well planned and catered for. I’m looking forward to booking my next trip with these guys. Thanks again for all your support, knowledge (and patience)!!! “

“I joined the ECT Tdf to ride from London to Paris with my two sons to see the final tour stage in Paris. We had a memorable ride on both sides of the channel riding through some lovely Countryside. The trip was well organised and well led by Jason who kept a group of varying abilities together. The whole trip more than met my expectations and provided me with an unforgettable experience. I would thoroughly recommend this trip”

“European Cycling Tours did an absolutely fantastic job of guiding our successful cycle challenge from London to Paris. From beginning to end, the ride, route, food, accommodation and logistics were professionally planned with precision. Guiding 13 riders of mixed ability I am sure is no easy task, but it certainly looked it! The route was one that could only be planned by people who had ridden them roads before. The surface’s were great, the traffic was minimal and the scenery was beautiful. At no time did we take a wrong turn, and the support Van met us on all the places we needed it. Even mechanicals didn’t stop us, as the teams intrinsic knowledge of cycling mechanics had them fix an otherwise critical mechanical on the route. If you want a challenge without the hassle of planning, and want an inclusive ride, European Cycling Tours are the folks to help you achieve it.”
