What Our Sportive Riders Say

Brilliant experience with Love Velo. The boys at hotel were always there and couldn’t help us enough and advice given. Always asking us is everything ok and just generally top blokes. A special mention goes out to Barry, the bike technician. Would highly recommend Love Velo and would certainly look to book other events through them.

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!

Wonderful tour of Holland beginning at Amsterdam - Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Gouda and back to A. Six great days of using the many cycle paths through countryside and town, meeting helpful people (who all seemed to speak English) and seeing a variety of wild life and fields of flowers. Smooth transition from hotel to hotel: no problem with logistics. The canals were amazing. There were two couples, one of whom had an electrically assisted bike and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Highly recommended.
