What a great trip in every aspect. All the details were expertly taken care of by experts from the beginning u til the end. I highly suggest going on a Backroads trip.

Above and Beyond our expectations!

This ride and support was spectacular. I chose an E-bike for the first time in my life and am glad I did. Even though I road/gravel bike all the time, viewing the Ride w GPS elevation, I knew, would too much for me to do on repeated days. I am so glad I did as I was able to do the longer and higher routes daily. This entire trip was stunningly beautiful, epic food, wine and lodgings. I am really happy I did it. And the Backroads App was great.

Wow, wow, wow! This was our first time going on a Backroads adventure and it did not disappoint! We were part of a private group that did the Premier Basque Biking tour, starting in Biarritz, France and ending in Bilbao, Spain. The leader team was composed of two leaders and a support leader (Gorka, Mathieu, Daniel), and all three were wonderful to work with. They were knowledgeable and patient, listening and addressing every question and request. They brought a wonderful balance of fun, patience, safety and information to make us all feel safe and informed at all times. The hotels were each unique and wonderful, and we had a wide spectrum of experience (from beach-side adorable town of St. Jean de Luz, to the incredible and lush hilly farmlands of French Basque country, to the rustic and medieval wine country of Spanish Basque country). The routes were incredible in their options, challenges, and truly felt like backroads (we had it to ourselves!). We also appreciated the variety of food experiences (from casual to elegant, family-style to plated, picnics to an adventure on your own). There are also optional cultural experiences (usually after riding and before dinners) that we loved, as you had an opportunity to learn about the region, local stories and try different things (e.g. cave wine tours/tastings, local speaker, local music). Our group had a wide spectrum of biking experience and the leader team accommodated this diversity with ease and comfort. Although I've casually ridden a bike for most of my life, I had never been on a road bike so I chose the e-Assist bike, which was the best decision I made. I ended up biking far more than I anticipate (often choosing the long and more challenging routes every day) and was able to bike and keep up with my husband (on a human-powered bike). The equipment is top-notch and well-maintained. We had the BEST vacation (not only because it was without kids!) because we were able to do the entire thing together

Our leaders were perfect and made this trip really special! The route options were varied and beautiful, jaw dropping views. Loved every minute. Thank you Backroads for another memorable trip!

We have just completed our 17th Backroads bicycle trip. Another excellent trip! Although we have never had a bad guide, our guides for this trip, Emma and Gauthier were superb and made the trip special.

The views are fantastic, the hotels spectacular and the food incredible. If you like a challenging bike ride or ride an e-bike this trip is for you. We had a great time and will be recommending this trip to friends and family.

We have done 3 private cycling trips with Backroads and have never been disappointed! Some of the amazing Basque country scenery is implanted in my mind as a magical memory. We were pleased with all of the accommodations and the guides were informative, organized and great company!

From the unique hotels, phenomenal food and scenery- and of course, the biking - this trip did not disappoint. Backroads knocked it out of the park on this one!

The guides were experts and the trip was great. Beautiful region and a quite difficult intinerary
