Common questions

We've listed a selection of common questions below, however if you have any further questions, please contact us

Are the cycling holidays suitable for children?
Many of our cycling holidays are suitable for children particularily the grade 1 tours. Details of the grading can be found on the "Holidays"
page of each region.

Can the luggage be transferred from one hotel to another?
Usually suitcases are stored at the first hotel during your holiday, and 'seasoned Susis', carry their belongings in the pannier on their bike (the way we have always done it). However, in most regions where there is a convenient taxi service, suitcases can be transported from hotel to hotel at an extra cost. The cost depends on the distances between hotels. Please contact us for further information.
