This is definitely a must do if you're staying in salou, we had Shaun and rob there making sure we were all safe. We had a lovely time cruising down the scenic roads past vineyards and villages, my only regret was that we didn't do the full day which includes lunch at a villa. More

This was absolutely the best way to spend a day. We did the morning run and really wish we had done the whole day. Not only was the ride fun and interesting but the guys running this trip were great. I learned more about the country, the location, the people and the history of the area as well as a... More

Great to hear our Irish brethren had a good day. We really value your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us and others. It is a fabulous region - with so much history, it's a shame that not everyone takes the plunge and comes and joins us for something different. We look forward to... More

Despite the inclement weather today (very cloudy up in the mountains and drizzle) we had another enjoyable ride. This year we tried the all day ride with a visit to a local co-operative (sampling the excellent olive oil) and finishing with fantastic food in a truly beautiful villa. Sadly, the weather prevented us from sampling the hosts swimming pool but... More

We always have such great feedback about the food - it took us a while to research and find somewhere... More

My partner and I both agreed afterwards that this totally made our holiday. Only for we had other plans, we definitely would have done the full day excursion. Truely unbelievable experience!! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and a good laugh. The scenary was so beautiful and just to be out gliding down the peaceful mountain roads made this... More

Rob took out a few locals for a downhill bike experience yesterday and I feel the need to tell everyone else about it. First of all it is a unique excursion in Salou insomuchas it is an active not a passive experience. You are not just sat on a bus looking at things you actually get out there and do... More

This was so much fun and a pleasant surprise, if you want to see a bit more of Salou rather than just the beach and pubs, then this is for you. The scenery while riding the bikes were breathtaking. More

Exactly what it describes - a downhill bike experience which is suitable for all ages. None of our party were very experienced cyclists, but that did'nt matter. We loved every minute of it. Lasts for 1/2 day which is probably long enough for most people. We saw parts of Catalonia we would not have otherwise seen. The group guides were... More
