Comments – Prince Edward Island Bicycle Tour

C. McMullen

Thanks so much for great biking experience - we will never forget it!

L. Rosmarin

Being the oldest and least experienced cyclists in the group, we probably gave you people cause for concern before it began. But we made it through, we always felt you would be there for us in the event we needed you. You succeeded in creating a very warm, outgoing, and caring atmosphere which we will remember for a long time.

D. Keystone

I liked the fact that everyone can do the trip in their own way - no pressure to be anywhere and no competition.

A. Moore

Everything was well organized and the staff friendly and efficient. I really enjoyed the route. There were inland roads and coastal roads. No day was too difficult. There were excellent restaurants along the was for those of us who wanted to eat excellent Island food.

L. Rosmarin

(B.) and I would like to commend you and your staff for an absolutely wonderful bicycle trip around the eastern part of P.E.I. which we did with you. It was everything we expected and more. We were very impressed by the organization of the tour. Itineraries were very detailed and well planned, with suggestions for stops along the way, but at the same time extremely flexible so people could start, stop, and continue the trip at leisure.

J. Cohan

It’s been a great trip. I enjoyed the tour and will definitely be back!

M. Kuhnle

Thank you so very, very much for all your help + for organizing trips like this.

D.Seaborn

I hope to do Cape Breton this year. I very much enjoyed how well you and your guys organized PEI. Thanks!

W. Miller

This was my favorite organized bike trip thus far. I've been on five before this one. PEI is absolutely beautiful! You did an outstanding job on this trip- kudos to you!

J. Borel

We took a tour of Prince Edward Island with you that we’ll never forget. It was a highlight of our bicycling years. ..your tours were the greatest, you really planned them good!

E. Taylor

Had so much fun on PEI tour!!

M. Scofield

Still telling people about your wonderful bike tours -- we hope to get back and do another trip before you're done!

K. Hughes

Fantastic trip - thanks for everything!

H. Hughes

I really enjoyed this low-key type of tour. Terrific!

C. McKillop

Many thanks, PEI is truly a beautiful province.

A. Boissonnault

We are a family of four who did the PEI trip last summer. Our kids were 9 and 11 when we took the trip. We had taken two two-day trips to prepare for the trip, as well as some training runs at home. The kids enjoyed themselves, especially since all the adults seemed to take them under their respective wings. We took our time along the trail, and took many breaks. We were usually the last ones to arrive at the campsite, but somebody has to be last!!

C. Neill

Thanks for the great tour! I liked this way of taking a holiday, and will consider doing it again.

D. & R. Bergan

Thank you for making the recent PEI tour a memorable one for us. We enjoyed every day of riding including the one windy day. We really appreciated the extras ie;Lobster feast, the Center accommodations and providing transportation to include us with the campers. PEI is a wonderful place to ride on safe rural roads and trails. Hopefully (we) will be able to participate in one of your other tours in the future.

L. Moore

Familiar with Atlantic Canada Cycling from past tours. Your tours are organized, good assistance around camp, and very reasonably priced. Thanks for opportunity to cycle with you.

J. & B. Ferguson

We liked the freedom to do what we wanted and when we wanted.

P. MacGrail

Thanks for an enjoyable first bike tour!

A. Enright

I like how relaxed the itinerary was laid out - we had the option of eating out or buying food to cook ourselves. It was helpful to have those hints mentioned on our maps for sure.

C. Neill

I really enjoyed my experience. I met some great people, saw some beautiful scenery, and pushed my limits as far as cycling goes.

D. Gallegos

Loved it! Somewhat hillier than I had expected, but I enjoyed the challenge. And having completed it, Now I can brag about it. Plus I can say again, it was so beautiful. We saw all kinds of things along the way.

C. Neill

There is a personal touch that I appreciate. I like to do business with small organizations made up of real people, not big business. I like the laid back and supportive atmosphere of the tour, especially in the evenings and mornings. I appreciated the help, which made the tour possible for me.

R. Brison

This is my first bike tour, and thanks to you it won’t be my last.

I. Madrus

I could not decide between PEI and Cape Breton so decided to do both. I knew PEI would also help me train for Cape Breton as I did not have much time to prepare beforehand.. Thank you for the trip(s) of a lifetime.

P. Taylor

I attended two previous tours with Atlantic Canada Cycling and had a wonderful time. Outdoor exercise, pretty campsites, friendly people. Thanks for taking such good care of us.

A. Moore

Thanks for a great tour - hope to do more next summer material (daily maps, route description, opportunities for food, etc) was excellent.

M. Kuhnle

But, I just wanted to check in with you all. It was such a super and beautiful time. What a way to get a feel for PEI and its people and places!

T. Farquar

I like the whole thing... the group experience is important, the riding challenge is important, the support is vital, cooking together is fun, going to a restaurant together after a long ride is wonderful, and the scenery and the villages we pass through are delightful.

J. Lovit

Searching travel via the internet is a hit and miss opportunity since you do not know how much is hype versus reality. I chose ACC because it seemed to offer service without expensive luxuries. I am glad that I did since I think that the group was about the best and most cohesive group I ever traveled with.

A. Enright

Overall. I think that if you have an open mind for such a trip, that only good things can really be said. There is nothing negative that stands out in my mind of any consequence - I am very appreciative of the great time I had and hope to repeat in the future!

L. Rosmarin

It exceeded our expectations because of the kindness of both organizers and cyclists

G. Saunders

Excellent! Great weather, new friends, interesting site and beautiful seaside scenery

A. Moore

Good cycling, good camping and well organized logistics. I had a wonderful time. Great route, beautiful countryside. The distances were not too great leaving room for whatever individuals wanted to do during the ride. I liked the aspect that we could go at our own speed.

T. Farquar

Overall, the ACC tours offer a unique experience with lots of great biking, outstanding routes, and always a great group of fellow riders. For a few weeks when we get back home we are in great shape!

R. Rittichier

Thanks for being so helpful to a relative newcomer to biking. You were so helpful to help me with my wheel problem.

L. & A. Brison

It is a very nice Island you have and thanks for sharing it.

C. Smith

Just wanted to let you know what a great time I had cycling with you in PEI. This was the first time I’d gone on an organized tour. I really liked how well you thought out the itinerary, and provided us maps so we could set our own pace and alternate the route if we liked. I found some gravel roads that put my mountain bike to good use.

I like to provide somewhat for myself, so the chance to cook and camp without having to carry all my gear solo was nice. It was easy to make friends, yet have as much time alone as we wanted.
If you ever need a local recommendation Maine, Id be glad to talk with anyone about the PEI tour. Hope I will be able to go on the Newfoundland tour someday.
