I rode the Cabot Trail on a self-guided tour. Pedal and Sea provided the bike, route maps, made lodging reservations and moved my luggage each day. They also drove me from Halifax to Cape Breton and back. My road bike was a good quality Garneau aluminum road bike, they also have high end carbon bikes and ebikes. I've not taken a guided tour with them. The Cabot Trail scenery is fantastic.

Pedal and a Sea knows how to do a great bike tour. We have been on the tour of western Ireland in 2018 and the tour of Tuscany in 2019. Both were exceptional. The places we stayed, food we ate, company we shared made each trip memorable. Dana and his team give attention to every detail and take great care of you on their tours. We will keep coming back year after year.

My wife and I recently completed the Cabot Trail on our tandem with Pedal & Sea. The trip was a 10! We really had no idea, but Cape Breton Island is one of the most beautiful, spectacularly scenic places we have ever visited and we get around. I have photos that you would swear are from tropical islands the ocean is crystal clear and brilliant blue, all seen from fantastic vantage points along the CTrail. And it is no exaggeration to say that the Cabot Trail is one of the most scenic routes on the planet! There are simply jaw-dropping vistas all along the way. Cliff drops to the sea, mountain

Tim & LInda Edmonton Alberta. We did the guided bike trip in Prince Edward in August 2018. The trip was amazing and we were looked after like royalty. We were fortunate to have a great group of people to share our adventure with. Never having been to PEI before we blown away by how beautiful it was and how amazingly friendly all the people were. The accommodation and food was first class all the way through. Miles and Rich our guides were the best. From the very start they were eager to look after us with anything and made it clear that it was our holiday and we could go at whatever pace we wanted

My experience was wonderful with Pedal & Sea. I completed the Lunenburg Tour as a self guided tour & I could not have been happier the whole week. I was picked up on time, had a chance to see Peggy's Cove on the first day, just a beautiful day that day, got some great photos & videos. The tours were well laid out, directions easy to follow, I never got lost & most of the trips were well within my capabilities as a bike rider. I was able to spend quality time in each location I traveled too, I met some fabulous people along the way & collected some great memories. I can't wait to pick my next trip

Like many, we've had the opportunity to travel extensively so had a cautious level of expectation when we arrived to begin the Pedal and Sea Croatia tour. In addition, I had owned a bicycle shop and needless to say was curious to see what Dana had in store for us for bikes. Well, no need to worry, from the beginning our guides Mario and Stefan were there to look after our every needs, the country proved itself to be spectacular, charming, welcoming and full of history and the bikes were exceptional. What's not to like about a Trek, Shimano Ultegra and compact gearing. The BEST way to see Croatia

If I could only use one word to describe our experience with Pedal and Sea on our Croatia tour, it would be exceptional! After cycling around Croatia for two weeks on our own, my husband and I joined the tour in Trogir. It would be the start of what we would describe as our vacation from our vacation!" Every detail was looked after by the exceptional staff and we could not have been happier with the accommodation, food, tour guides, route, scenery and the company of our fellow cyclists. The tour was well run and a great value. I would recommend this tour without hesitation and would (and hope
