Overall the trip was okay. At the beginning I was told the wrong time for the briefing, I messaged tour radar for help and noone ever got back to me. I ended up just winging it and got through the trip okay.

All hotels were okay. All days the package was there when we arrived. For us is 9:00 am to early to set the suitcases ready for transport. Especially if you see at 10 that they are still there. At the last day there was a trainstrike. We noticed ourself but it was good if we get a warming of the tourorganisation.

The beauty of the lakes countryside cannot be overstated. With every turn, every climb, every downhill, we were amazed by the wonders of rural Germany. We could only hope for more miles of touring, as every pedal was a delight. But yes, we could only hope for more miles, for despite asking for and signing up for what we thought was a `sporty' ride with days of 40 to 60 miles of pedaling, Tourradar provided us with the regular Munich lakes ride. This meant days of 15 to 40 miles of biking. Our roads did not go on forever, but stopped in three or four hours. While we alerted the company of this prior to the ride, we never received the tour maps or GPS for longer rides. Another concern we had was the amount of gravel bikeways. We were surprised by how they predominated somedays, and were sometimes bewildered by what constitutes a gravel path. Paths with rocks the size of your fist doesn't come to mind when you think of gravel roadways. We would be remiss if we did not mention the Tourradar staff. Even with our concerns about the tour, each staff person we dealt with was kind, understanding, and wanting to be helpful. We sincerely appreciated their help and efforts, even though they were unable to provide the tour we requested.

Our Tourradar/Sherpa Expeditions hiking tour was King Ludwig's Way (26 July through 2 August). That my son, Michael, and I enjoyed it very much is perhaps an understatement. We had no mishaps and had very co-operating weather. We were exposed to and learned much of Bavarian landscape, history, and culture. Our travel arrangements were well thought-out, planned, and executed. Upon subsequent review of your other hiking tours, I find that many are of similar nature and format. I will certainly be making use of them in the near future! David and Michael McCloy North Carolina and Texas, USA
