Dan from Creative Catalonia (Creative Bike tours) kindly accommodated our needs and provided us with a truly amazing and memorable experience of cycling Northern 'Green' Spain and the must see Picos de Europa. The ability to have a private guided tour of 5 days through the Cantabria region, exploring quaint villages on quiet roads through green and lush regional and coastal routes of this magical area was nothing short of spectacular. The unique and boutique accommodation chosen was outstanding as was the service and hospitality we received from the locals. The guides sharing their local knowledge of culture, food, wine, and history made for a wonderful experience that we will hold fond memories for a lifetime. If you are looking for a personalised, professional and high quality service, I highly recommend Dan and Creative Catalonia. I rate their services higher than a 10 out of 10. read less

So we gave it a try, and it was more wonderful than we could have ever imagined. A large part of that was just the location of course, who wouldn't want to ride near and along the Mediterranean? But the hotels that were included were both varied and consistently excellent. Transitioning between hotels, with luggage movement, check-in and check-out could not have been any easier. The routes, bikes and navigation aids were all perfect. At the end of our tour, we had just two complaints - why didn't we take a longer holiday, and where can we go next that could possibly match this? read less

I enjoyed the tour even more the second time around, as I witnessed my sisters' gasps of pleasure at every new beautiful sight, and amazement at how smoothly and perfectly everything ran. Yet again Daniel and Lucy's support was priceless, helping us work out route and schedule changes when we ran into nasty weather. The route planning and tracking tools made it extremely easy to navigate. We never got lost for more than a couple hundred meters before we were able to correct ourselves. Catalonia is a great place for biking, with its unsurpassed natural beauty plus world class biking infrastructures. Creative Catalonia gives excellent service. read less

Notwithstanding that we had only spent a few days with Daniel, we knew we wanted to go back and get the full experience. Daniel was very accomodating, working out a credit with some of the accomodations we had missed out on. This October we were finally able to return to Spain and finish what we started. Daniel created a package to fit our schedule with 5 days of biking and hiking along the Costa Brava. My partner and I are navigationally challenged and opted for the fully guided tour. Daniel and Lucy shared the task of guiding us around for the five days. The accomodations were excellent and varied. The scenery was beautiful. The company was warm and engaging. I would highly recommend Creative Catalonia to anyone contemplating a fun and energizing way of seeing the Catalonian coast and countryside.

Right from our first contact with both Bike Tours.com and Creative Catalonia (Lucy and Daniel),.communicated directly with us helping find the best ride to fit our needs. We wanted to use our own tandem bike and they made sure it would work.
We finished the ride a week ago and we can't say enough for the support Lucy and Daniel gave us on the self guided ride. Also the scenery and historic beauty was excellent. Thank you for making our bike ride week with our Grandson so memorial. read less

First Biking Holiday and it was Awesome!

After doing some google research we narrowed it down to a couple of companies. Creative Catalonia was responsive and Daniel provided excellent service--answering all kinds of questions promptly making us feel much more relaxed about what we might expect when we arrived. The difference-maker was being able to adjust some of the rides to work for our small group. It was 6 days/7 nights and we really couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The only suggestion I would have is that when they tell you there are no restaurants open in Spain in mid-afternoon/early evening, they mean it! A few times we arrived at our destination hungry and out of luck until 7 or 8pm at night. After a long days ride, that made for a few very hungry afternoons! read less
