Routes des Grandes Alpes / Cycle tours
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has done this route through a bike tour / holiday company and, if so, whether anyone has some recommendations for tour operators (good or bad).
Would be doing the trip this summer at some point (pretty flexible) on road bikes and wouldn't want to carry luggage, but happy to ride largely unsupported with the one other guy I'm going with.
The companies I've seen through 'googleing' are: sports tours international, rather be cycling and velovation. Any experience of going with these guys would be great to hear.
Thanks in advance,
Eoin

Hi Eoin, Big thumbs up for Velovation. I went on a 3 days Big One trip with them last year and it was great. really well organised, great company and a great professional service.
