"Thanks for a  fantastic week of cycling. This was an amazing experience and one of my best holidays ever. Thankyou for making it possible." Paul Fairman, June 2009

"Overall I thought the tour was excellent and I greatly enjoyed the week and the support and organisation you provided.  In particular, the route information was very good and the options to do more or less each day (less in my case!) worked well for the mixed ability of the group.  The food too was excellent and the range of accommodation interesting.  Likewise I greatly enjoyed your talks about the area and the routes, which brought a level of insight and humour to proceedings." John Lakin, July 2009

"The rides were great, as too the bunch of guys - I've been on many training trips in Spain and France, and you always seem to get a good bunch of cyclists. And your support from the van was also excellent - it was a pleasant change from the usual out and back type of training I have done previously. And, of course we were very lucky with the weather."
Alan Westwood, September 2005

"I have to say it was a brilliant trip. Great cycling, great food, great accommodation and of course; great beer and great craic! Thanks for a fantastic holiday and I will recommend Marmot Tours to anyone looking for an adventure holiday. Take care and I hope to see you somewhere on my travels again." Stephen Stokes, September 2004

"The accommodation and food was great. We particularly liked the communal atmosphere of the Tour de France gite and the trip to the bicycle museum. I would strongly recommend this trip to any regular cyclist who is looking for a bit of a challenge. Speed and strength are not essential but persistence is an advantage. The picnickers who yelled "Allez,Allez" were a great encouragement as was the thought of coffee and a snack at the top of each col ,and of a beer at the end of the day." Margie and Adrian Cohen, September 2004
