Testimonials
We have done many cycling trips with different tour companies. In our opinion Cycle New England ranks with the best. Gary and Chris Rice provide detailed information regarding routes, historical information, places to visit and explore, great restaurants and superb before tour communication. They provide flexibility and options for riders with a personal touch. We highly recommend them and their tour company. Lee & Lynn, University Place, Washington.
If you are considering a bicycle tour of historic New England, Gary & Chris do a wonderful job of linking together the historic landmarks of New England while taking care of you with fine dining at local favorite restaurants and accommodations in very comfortable inns. Luggage is picked up after you leave in the morning and appears at your next destination. The routes are planned to keep you safe while enjoying the views of New England’s finest historical landmarks. Each day we had the route in both printed and in electronic form. The trip for us was adjusted to accommodate the time we had to spend. New England has plenty to offer and I don’t think there is a better way to see and experience it, than to be on a bicycle and having everything (except the pedaling) being well taken care of by Gary and Chris. Bruce & Cindy, Little Rock, Arkansas
Cycle New England allowed us to explore a beautiful part of New England on our tandem bicycle. Gary and Chris set up a custom eight-day tour, paying attention to our mileage requests and pointing out interesting local attractions each day. The inns were great! Gary and Chris went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable along the way. Most of all, the overall value of the trip was excellent. We will be sure to recommend Cycle New England to our cycling friends. Gary & Cathy, Oneonta, New York
Cycle New England put together a wonderful weekend of bike rides and pampering at the Inn on Woodstock Hill. The wine tasting at Sharpe Hill was fun and a highlight of the weekend! Thank you, Faith and Steve, Brunswick, Maine
We thought the route selection was excellent. The back roads chosen were not only beautiful but allowed us to see parts of our state in a way we had never seen before. We especially enjoyed all of the recommended stops and sights along the way. This really allowed us to take full advantage of each route. The B&B's and hotels were excellent. I appreciated that the chosen routes were challenging and interesting for a more accomplished rider like my husband, but still doable and enjoyable for a less experienced rider like myself. Hillary & Justin, Manchester, Connecticut
We enjoyed the cycling trip. The B&B's were all very nice. The routes were well planned and route notes were easy to follow. We enjoyed the sightseeing stops each day. Janice & Larry, Louisville, Kentucky
We had such an amazing experience and we are still fondly discussing our adventures thanks to the tour you arranged for us. It's also so fun to hear from our family and friends how much they enjoyed following our experiences on Facebook. They enjoyed living vicariously through us while we did the leg work (literally). We wanted to share how much we appreciated how flexible you were with us and all you did to make last minute changes based on the weather and our biking capabilities. Truly truly appreciated. Also, your choice of B&B's to give us a flavor for the local areas and the beautiful scenic roads were so appreciated. Tammie, Alison, Ann & Brook, Verona, Wisconsin
Just wanted to drop a short line and let you know how much we enjoyed our trip last week. The area was beautiful and your recommendations were spot on! Jutta & Sabrina, Norwell, Massachusetts
We received detailed cue sheets of the routes in advance which certainly helped as we had no previous knowledge of the area. We are both experienced cyclists so riding self-guided was our preference and the price was right! The routes were well designed and the mileage was just fine and there were plenty of places to stop for lunch or a snack. We were able to enjoy some lovely areas of both Rhode Island and Massachusetts and help was only a phone call away if we ran into any serious trouble. Gary was very helpful and answered all my questions about the routes and the area. The B&B’s that were booked for us were both charming and comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious. In both areas that we stayed there were a number of excellent choice for dinner. All in all we had a lovely trip and we would gladly recommend riding with Cycle New England. Paul & Patricia, New York, New York
Just a note to express our thanks to you from the three of us for the key role that you played in making our ‘Cycling New England’ vacation a success. Your meticulous planning was certainly evident and above all, your willingness to go the extra mile when we needed assistance was most appreciated. The opportunity to cycle with you at various times was an added enjoyment. Alex, Sandy & Linda, Medicine Hat, Alberta
