    This was my first Explore trip. I was a little anxious that I might be much older and slower than the others but in the event we were all of a standard and I was sufficiently reassured to contemplate booking something similar next year

    I think the bikes needed bells (as per UK rules) - there was no easy way to alert pedestrians on the cycle paths. I was surprised our travel insurance numbers were not taken at the start of the trip for easy reference of the guide
    Explore! commented on this review
    Thank you for your feedback. We are enquiring to see if the bike provider can get bells for all bikes. Insurance details are collected by Explore HQ now, only if we don't have these details on record will the TL ask for them at the start of the trip.

    The average km per day in the brochure needs updating! The brochure represents a significant understatement of distance covered.

    The person who accompanied the tour leader (Driver of the van) was very helpful. A small point but very appreciated was that at the end of the day my bag was in my hotel room

    Great dedicated cycle path, very flat but poor bikes. We stayed in very pretty towns, good food. Awesomely wide river, some incredible old east european infrastructure (locks, bridges, power stations).

    5 in the group was OK especially whilst cycling but I prefer a bigger group for socially chating in evening

    we look forward to booking again. Pavel was excellent and we know that he also leads trips in Poland for another unnamed company. He was most professional and would not name that company. However, I suggest you approach Pavel and see if he can work with you on a Polish destination
