Fantastic bike ride up a mountain - Georgia took us on a fabulous bike ride up a mountain in Corfu (June 2019). The views were stunning and Georgia told us lots of interesting history of the area as we cycled along. The bikes we used were great, so comfortable and with great gears which made cycling up the mountain much easier than we thought it would be. We had considered just hiring bikes on our own, but we were so glad we booked a bike tour as we would not have had the courage to cycle up this mountain on our own, but Georgia made it easy and gave us loads of encouragement. We highly recommend GEO bicycling tours as it was the highlight of our visit to this beautiful island.

Fab Time! - We had a really good time. Steep uphill to start with which took some by surprise. We had a difficult group but Georgie and George were sensitive and patient. Cycled to a lovely village, off the beaten track. Then a great downhill back into town. The bikes were in tip top condition and the guides were engaging and interesting to chat to about all manner of things. Did their best to show us a good time. Thank you.
