Bike Odyssey Anmeldelser 

I have participated in three Bike Odyssey tours: Hannibal, Lionheart, and Othello, and each one was unique and amazing. The routes are meticulously planned, a mix challenging rides and mountains to tick of the bucket list and spectacular scenery. The guides are knowledgeable, the accommodation and meals are excellent, love the picnics. I Highly recommend Bike Odyssey.

What a magnificent itinerary and the trip was very well organised, all I had to do was turn up in my lycra, rearing to go. Accommodation top notch. Cruising the Greek islands on a gulet - unforgettable.
Some improvements to be made for vegetarian offering but food otherwise fresh and interesting.

I’ve just completed my third cycling trip with Bike Odyssey. It reenforced my views of them as an absolutely great tour company. The guides are knowledgeable, personable and extremely supportive; the hotels and meals and wines are first class; the picnic lunches are unbeatable. And that’s off the bike: cycling routes are as advertised and well scouted, documented and mapped. I look forward to more adventures with Bike Odyssey.

Just returned from a fabulous cycling tour of Morocco and Spain (Custom Othello). Brilliant pre-tour organisation made for a trouble-free trip despite the recent earthquakes in Morocco, where our tourism was desperately needed. I am very pleased that Bike Odyssey, having determined it was safe to proceed, did not cancel. Our guides on the road were amazing. Experienced, friendly and well organised. Plenty of backup along the road by way of drinks, nibbles and mechanical assistance. Nothing was too much trouble. Wonderful accommodation and dining experiences throughout in both Morocco and Spain. It's clearly evident that Bike Odyssey does their research thoroughly to seek out and deliver the best experience.

I had a wonderful experience with Bike Odyssey. There are very few Cycle Tour companies that offer tours lasting more than just a few days. I participated in the "Venetians" tour in 2023. I am glad the trip included spectacular rides in both Slovenia and Croatia, the former a lesser known bike destination. The tour was very well organized and the bike mechanics and tour guides were top notch. Lodging was always the best available considering than small villages definitely worth visiting have limited options. Memories of this tour will last a lifetime. I am already planning to sign up for more Bike Odyssey trips in the near future.

A trip of a lifetime cycling through Spain, France & Italy - Pyrenees, Mediterranean, French Alps, iconic climbs, renowned wine regions, medieval villages and most importantly new friends from the Hannibal Odyssey.

Our recent Bike Odyssey tour of Tasmania from Hobart to Launceston was a magical experience. The organization by Isabella and Sam was impeccable and the expertise in cycling - Chris an inspiration! - and tour co-ordination evident and so professional. The routes chosen were ideal to challenge and offer wonderful views of the countryside at the same time. As a couple we were able to enjoy a cycling holiday together for the first time. Liz on an e-bike and Bill on his own roadbike brought from Brisbane. The accommodation venues arranged were all of a high quality and we certainly appreciated the remedial massages with Sarah!
We look forward to joining many future adventures with the amazing Bike Odyssey team!!

Great ride with great company and the best of meals. Bike Odyssey really look after me on these rides.

Bike Tour was very well organised. Accommodation and meals were excellent. Riders were able to ride at own pace without hassles. Staff were very helpful, great fun and great people.

Sam and Isi set up short breaks in Australia to relieve the tedium of the Corona virus restrictions and the Berry break we joined on our tandem proved that Bike Odyssey was able to match the quality of their customary European trips here at home. The riding was unexpectedly challenging, utilising mostly quiet roads, the weather was satisfyingly pleasant and the company, support, food and accommodation were outstanding. Just as we have come to expect from Bike Odyssey!

Surpassed all expectations (and they were already high!). Sam seemed to be everywhere, conjuring up fabulous meals, shopping, repairing bikes, filling water bottles and all with a cheerful smile. Highly recommended.

Tassie Down Under was my first Bike Odyssey and I couldn’t have been more thrilled with how it all went! Sam and Isabel leave nothing to chance, they are super organized and extremely accommodating to the varying needs of each person on tour. The support they gave us both on and off the bike was absolutely outstanding. The accommodation was high end and the meals were incredible. I’m already planning my next Bike Odyssey and it won’t be my last!

A really relaxing well organised and enjoyable trip. Sam and Isi were enthusiastic, supportive and very personable tour leaders. Would heartily recommend Bike Odyssey trips.

We rode on the Bike Odyssey Under Downunder Tasmanian tour in February/March 2021. The tour was essentially a push-bike circumnavigation (more or less) of Tasmania over 3 weeks. It was fully supported with accommodation at some of Tasmania's top hotels and a smattering of more modest accommodation at some more remote locations. Restaurants ranged from excellent fine dining to pubs with great food, again depending on the location.
The guides Sam and Issy and the masseuse, Sarah couldn't do enough for us to help make our experience a fabulous one.
They were always encouraging when it came to the big hills. Always honest when they felt the weather or conditions were against us. And Sarah was always there to make sure the sore hard-working bodies stayed in good order.
Whilst by no means the cheapest bike riding experience holiday I believe that you get what you pay for and this is a perfect example of that.
I will continue to choose Bike Odyssey.

great support, great organisation, great fun, great Sam, great everything!!!

I've been on several supported tours over the last few years and Sam is heads and shoulders above when it comes to attention to details and impeccable support for the rides.

Sam provided support for our 7 day Snowy Mountains bike tour... day 1 I thought this was pretty good having morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea all sorted without thinking about it. As the days and k’s rolled on I reset my thinking to “how far to Sam” such was the fabulous support and treats each stop provided.

Choosing a supported bike tour is easy now, just select which Bike Odyssey trip to go on, simple !

Sam Wood put together a most professional and fun custom tour of the NSW Snowies at short notice. We were treated to nourishing breakfasts, gourmet roadside lunches, and selected dinners, interspersed with a wonderful variety snacks and drinks during the rest breaks. On road support was amazing, with cue-laden GPS routes, and equal support and encouragement handed out to the fast riders, the relaxed riders, and everyone in between.
And, there was still time to set up and prepare lunch, clean up after the hungry horde, and be at the end-of-day accommodation with keys and any important information.
I would not hesitate to join one of the Bike Odyssey trips - either domestic or overseas. Nor would I hesitate have ask them to put together a custom trip for us again.

We were blessed with two weeks of wondeful weather, but this must be the best way to see Tasmania! Riding pace to get around and fabulous food and accommodation to keep you fresh. I absolutely loved it, including the challenges like climbing kunyani/Mt Wellington and Jacob’s Ladder at Ben Lomond. Isabel and Sam were fantastic guides/hosts and the routes were well researched. Can’t wait to do another Bike Odyssey!

Great week of riding and guide support. Well structured itinerary with some great stops along the way (winery, cheese factory, fish shop, famous pub etc). Suitable focus on “where is the next coffee” and great picnics.

Sam and Isabel do a great job of making the journey a pleasure.
