Saddle Skedaddle レビュー 

This was a really well organised trip.
The accommodation and evening meals were very good as was the information before and during the ride, but I would read the advice about training for the trip . The guides were very friendly helpful and knowledgeable. The stops were well organised and the problem was not to eat too much! I can really recommend this company.

I recently went on a weeks cycle ride to Scotland on the hebridian way.
It was a fantastic experience, once in a life time. The views were amazing, you wouldn't have thought you were in Scotland. There was 17 of us altogether including the guides Nick,Ruth and Rob.
Some of us had e bikes, the rest had their own manual bikes.
We had ferry crossings, taxi rides all of which, had been booked and organised really well. Any problems which arose, Nick,Ruth and Rob sorted them out.Nothing was to much trouble for them.
The lunches were great, something different to eat each day. Having the support van was great, we all knew if we needed support it was on hand.
It was one of our cyclists birthdays, which nobody in the group knew about. The guides did a surprise birthday cake, scones, cake,banner etc and we all sang happy birthday. It was a lovely surprise for the birthday boy, plus the rest if the group.
Most of the time it was raining, but that didn't stop us, we just rode faster to get out of the rain. One of our group likes to have a 5 minute swim each day, the guides sorted it so that they could go and have a swim when it was possible to do so.
This is my 5th ride with saddle skeddale, and I've already booked onto my next one for next year.
The only thing I would say, is if the support van could carry two different types of spare batteries, for the e bikes that would be really helpful.

Saddle Skedaddle never fails to deliver an excellent service. You feel really cared for throughout your holiday. The brochure information is accurate particularly when considering the grading of a route and whether it is for you or not and what sort of bike would be best. Someone is always available to answer questions with a quick response and on the odd occasions when something goes amiss it is sorted quickly. They take your feedback on board and the accommodation is a high standard. The bike hire is good using high quality bikes in excellent working order. I cannot recommend using this company highly enough. I have used them 4 times with trips in the UK.

I did the Saint-Malo to Nice explorer ride and had a great time. Everything was very well organised and the guides were capable, helpful, responsive and fun, going above and beyond to sort out issues for riders.
The ride was challenging but do-able and it was a good group of people from Britain, Australia and the US. Some couples, some friends and a few people went on their own including me.
The scenery is fantastic, this is a great way to see France. There was a little time to see the occasional chateau, castle or abbey, which was also good. The GPS works well (though it is easy to overshoot turns if paying too much attention to said scenery). The picnic lunches were great. The schedule is well constructed with consideration of distance and elevation and the need for a bit of recovery here and there.
Thoroughly recommend it.

This was the 7th time we use Skedaddle, and they were as good as ever! The folks at the office helping us arrange the trip, adding bits and pieces and extra stays, and the local representatives were all very helpful and knowledgeable.
The trip was wonderful, mostly on cucle-paths or very quiet roads, perfectly spaced hotels and good time to stop, have lunch and enjoy the scenery.

Pennine Bridle Way mtb guided holiday.
Front start to finish, all our needs were catered for.
Hotels booked were very good and accommodated the needs of storing our bikes safely and feeding our group together at mealtimes that suited our schedule.
The guides (2) for our group of 6, were knowledgeable and provided our daily snacks and lunch, which was ready for us to eat upon arrival at our designated stop.
They took turns to guide us or drive the van between our next stopover.
Overall the riding experience was highly enjoyable and I would / have recommended this company to other cycling friends.
Looking forward to booking our next skedaddle holiday.

This being the first guided cycle trip my wife and myself booked on I was a bit worried about how it would work out and whether it would be harder than I could comfortably manage. I shouldn't have worried the trip was fantastic. Once the trip had been confirmed, (worryingly this did take a while as Skedaddle needed to get sufficient numbers first) very complete instructions were given as to what to expect and what to take. We were also able to download the GPX file for the route. The group of 11 was an ideal size and was a good mixture with slightly more women than men. The route picked was perfect. Great scenery and no ridiculously steep climbs. The roads were mainly very quiet with only a very few unavoidable sections with fast traffic. Even the 64 mile day up Puy Mary was much easier than feared. Although the climb was long the road never went above 10% and everyone arrived at the top under their own steam. The downhill from the top was the highlight of the trip even though we did have some rain at the start. The support provided was fantastic, Alex was the cycle guide and Naomi drove the support van. With the weather being hot Naomi found a number of places during the day where she stopped so that water bottles could be replenished and snacks taken on board. When stops were slightly hidden from the road ingenuously she used flour to mark the location. The lunches provided by Naomi were a highlight of the day and she had obviously gone out of her way in order to prepare food that was varied and delicious and changed from day to day. She also made sure that she catered for those with allergies so no one missed out. When cycling, as a number of us had the routes downloaded onto our head units we could all cycle at a pace which best suited us without worrying about getting off route, stopping regularly so everyone could regroup. Alex made sure no one got lost and was on hand to deal with the single puncture we had plus a few mechanical issues which arose. I had a problem with the SRAM charger for the batteries on my wireless gears packing up and Naomi managed to find a cycle shop enroute where I could purchase a replacement. The overnight accommodation selected each day was also first rate bearing in mind that some locations had limited options. I would thoroughly recommend this trip organised by Skedaddle.

Six days of excellent cycling across Scotland from Campbeltown to Inverness including along the Great Glen. Varied terrain and wonderful view. Superbly supported by the 3 guides who were very knowledgeable about both the area and about cycling

Hi
This is a multiday trip, almost all off road route in the north of England (6 Riding days). looking at a map you will see large towns nearby but you will not be aware of that on the trail, its all farmland.
You will be staying in good rural hotels, so comfortable, quiet, good food
The route is off road over 95% of the way (over 50% singletrack) and never on main roads.
Trip is fully supported with riding guides and a support vehicle for coffee, lunch and spares.
Fully trained guides are a big help on any trip but knowing the route is a huge help
I would recommend a full suspension MTB for the trip, its mostly chunky trail with rollable descents (with care) and some flowy sections.
Could not be much better really, I will be doing this one again

We could not be more delighted with our experience with Frankie, Ben, Josh and the rest of the team for the excellent Coast and Castles tour. Their flexibility, attentiveness, and thoughtfulness was invaluable.

We’ve had two holidays through this company this year and I have to say that both were fantastic! Everything from route planning, hotel booking, bike hire, luggage transfer and what to look out for en-route is done for you and well thought out. We wouldn’t have had the cultural and carefree experience that we’d have hoped for if we’d tried to do this ourselves. Both trips were beyond our expectations and we are definitely planning further trips through this company.

I did the Coast to Coast ride from Whitehaven to Newcastle/ Tyne mouth.
Had a brilliant time. Great group of people. Good fun and loads of laughs.
We had some nice weather which helps. Our leaders Ian and Craig made us very welcome and helped us stay safe. They were very helpful leaders.
Some steep sections to climb and some nice long descents on the rides, so a good balance. I used an E-Bike so that made it easier to get around. The accommodation and meals were very good. All in all very worthwhile. Good value. A nice achievement.

This was my first trip with Saddle Skedaddle and I loved every minute! I have been on two other cycling trips with different companies and this compared very well, also good value for money.
The arrangements were very straight forward before the trip and any questions I asked were promptly answered. The two guides Ian and Craig were very nice and very helpful, I loved the ride with GPS routes. I didn’t know anyone else on the trip but they were certainly a fun group! The scenery was beautiful, If you’re not too young and a person who doesn’t ride hills all the time then an e-bike is probably the way to go. The rental e-bikes are better than the ones I have rented in the past.
Now looking to book another trip with this company and plan to tell other cycling friends about it!

Great organised trip. Such helpful staff, before, during and after the trip. Fab bikes.

This was my fifth Skedaddle trip. The communications and Ride Leaders were of a very good standard, as usual. The HF Holidays hotel was a new experience with organised evening activities. Not expected but enjoyable once I decided to participate. The routes were challenging in places with rolling Cotswold hills. Once we were out of the towns away from the holiday traffic the cycling was excellent. The views and villages are best seen from the saddle of a cycle.

We are so happy with Saddle Skedaddle. Every single detail turned out perfectly. Their communication was consistent. The routes they provided with Ride with GPS worked seamlessly and we enjoyed every single lodging organized by them. Hope we can do this again sometime. We are in our late 70's, so we would not have been able to do this without their help.

I had done this ride twice before, but looked forward to the route changes (necessary over the first two days) which added variety. Thanks to a marathon event nearby (not us!), we had the opportunity to ascend Mt Ventoux a different way, following literally in Petrarch’s footsteps. I’m sure he would have joined us on the ride, if that option had been available in 1336. Fantastic views all along the road and of course at each mountain summit – not to mention the crazy descent off the Galibier: ridden by the Tour de France the previous week.
The hire bike was fine, lightweight and with extra low gears for the long climbs. Accommodation was excellent – from a chamber d’hote to a large chalet-style ski lodge; evening meals were either at the hotels or at restaurants a short walk away. Look for tartiflette on the menu!
Our three guides provided excellent back-up and advice, with interactive route maps and daily briefings.
Already I’m thinking about my next holiday with Saddle Skedaddle . . .

We did the Way of the Roses Ride Morecambe to Bridlington Ride across Lancashire and Yorkshire... Amazing Countryside. Lucky with the weather only rained on the last day ride from Driffield to Bridlington. The Saddle Skedaddle staff always met us on time and were there to help when we needed them. Never been to York before and ended up there 3 nights... great place to walk around and see the walled city.

Skedaddle make a cycling holiday a joy. They take care of all the practicalities, so you can focus on cycling and soaking up the countryside. I recently completed the Caledonian Way and it was a truly unforgettable experience. The guides were excellent, the bike (I hired one) was top quality, the accommodations were great and I will definitely be using them again.
