Tour Reviews

14 January 2018

This was our second trip with Cicloposse and can tell you that Greg and I had a lovely cycling trip in Mallorca. It was challenging, but the tour was well organised with great routes!
We organised our own hotel in Selva and my suggestion to you would be to book hotels in the centre of the city or villages – it makes it easier to walk to the local sights, restaurants and attractions. I realise that our trip was organised at short notice, but maybe something you will consider for future tours.
Well done on customising our tour – much appreciated and looking forward to many more happy cycling tours with Cicloposse!!
Please find enclosed pictures, which you are most welcome to post on your Facebook page
