Rich Stone

Firstly, would like to thank you and the whole Destination Sports team for a brilliant experience. The organization, material and guidance provided was excellent , having had experience of other companies I would certainly recommend you again! Everyone was so helpful and professional and went out of their way to support and guide us.

The team were all excellent and took away a lot of the hassles and planning, so thanks for that. Would certainly recommend you guys to anyone looking for a hassle free, well organised trip.

I greatly appreciated your time and communication answering any questions I had to make the recently completed Raid Pyrenneen challenge the best cycling trip I’ve experienced. So good that I’m looking forward to signing up again in 2023. Might even convince a friend or two to join me. One last note, and you may have heard this already, you provided us with 2 guides that are simply amazing - words don’t do justice to how perfect Paul and Jorge were… Thanks so much!

Andrea’s team took things to a simply different level – not one I imagined was available for a rider of my standard & opened my eyes. I am sure you do realise how good they are but thought doesn’t hurt to say it again. Super professional, really helpful and a great trip (hotel also good

my wife & I had a super time in Italy & thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Hotel Boe.The food was high quality & we thought the staff were very amenable ,friendly & understanding. I really enjoyed cycling with 'Ferri' . His pre-Maratona rides were extremely helpful..& he did his best to make sure no-one was left behind. Tommaso ,his mechanic, was really kind, obliging & super helpful. I look forward to engaging with you again - I have my sights on the Stelvio sportive
