Recently returned from a trip to the Italian Dolomites for the Maratona event. From my first approach to Love Velo the communication was excellent and faultless. The guys were waiting for us at the airport arrivals gate and took us to meet other riders waiting for the transfer coach. The ride on the Friday was an excellent choice and a good chance to meet other riders and have a coffee and some Strudel! On the day of the event the guys from LV were there to collect any unwanted clothing after the early start and there to offer drink, food and motivation after the Sella Ronda part of the course. All in all a worthy 5 / 5 for the guys. I would definitely use LV for a future trip and for anyone thinking of doing the Maratona........ go for it! You wont regret it!

I used Love Velo for the first time this year for our Cycling Club trip to Bormio (Stelvio/Gavia/Mortirolo). I normally arrange things myself but with 14 people I decided to go with a company. Love Velo were very helpful and responsive to questions and changes. The hotel was excellent for cyclists and the bikes good quality (Trek Emonda). Dedicated transfers to/from the airport made the trip complete. Great work Love Velo!

Recently used Love Velo for a 7 day cycling trip to Italy Lake Garda. A seamless trip from start to finish. A great hotel recommended in an ideal spot half a mile from Garda centre and straight onto the recommended cycle routes which Love Velo supplied and were easily downloaded onto my Garmin. I would highly recommend Love Velo and will certainly use the again.
