Written by the company

Cycle Breaks has been organising self-guided cycling and walking holidays since 1991, from our base in Suffolk, England. Each holiday includes hand-picked hotels, daily luggage transfers and clear route notes or GPS navigation. Because no two tours suit every rider, we are very happy to work with you before booking to match your fitness and expectations to the right trip — and we'd rather not sell a holiday than sell you the wrong one. We look after all arrangements directly for our itineraries in England (Suffolk, Norfolk) and work with trusted local partners across Austria (The Austrian Lakes, The Danube, Mur River Valley), France (Alsace, The Dordogne, Languedoc, Loire Valley, Provence), Germany (Baltic Coast, Lake Constance, Moselle, Munich Lakes), Italy (Trentino/SudTirol, Piedmont, Puglia, Tuscany, Veneto), Portugal (Algarve, Alentejo) and Spain (Catalonia, Rioja, Valencia), plus Bike & Boat holidays in Austria, France, Belgium, Holland, Hungary and Italy. We welcome solo travellers, couples, families and groups, with e-bikes available in most areas.

6 of us have just had a lovely trip to Suffolk - an area none of us knew - and what a delight it was. The communication and organisation from Cycle Breaks was great, especially as it was done at very short notice due to European flights being cancelled. Choice of routes was varied and hotels were lovely. Customer service was excellent and we definitely hope to use Cycle Breaks again. Thankyou.

Moselle Valley trip

Prompt service from the initial enquiry onwards, including making extra arrangements for our needs. There's a possible discrepancy between the advertised version of the Mosel Valley trip and their partner's offering, but it went well in general.

Constable Country walking holiday

Initial contact with Cycle Breaks was good , although the majority of people using the company seem to be cyclists they also advertised walking holidays . Booking was strait forward and information arrived when they said it would .
We had a good pack of information from Cycle Breaks including an OS map with the routes of our walks clearly marked . The hotel accommodation was good ,particularly on the first night ,and the luggage transfer was efficient. We liked the first hotel best because it felt more characterful compared to the more corporate feel of the golf club.Both were in lovely countryside
The OS map was accompanied by some additional notes covering points on the route that might be confusing , mainly this worked well but on occasion we could have done with a bit more info particularly around golf courses ! We also had information about the history of the areas we passed through.
The routes were good through beautiful and varied countryside .
We really enjoyed our holiday .Thank you !

Thanks for the feedback Tesni and it is great to hear that you really enjoyed your holiday.

We will take another look at the information relating to the golf courses - thanks for raising the issue.

Just to let you know that we have recently expanded our walking offer in Suffolk to incorporate lovely paths along the Rivers Orwell & Deben - with new sections that are part of the King's Coast Path. Hopefully this will tempt you back for another trip in the future (not forgetting the 5% discount for returning customers)!

Thanks again for booking with us.

Second Holiday with Cycle Breaks

Returned to Cycle Breaks for a second holiday in Europe. They organised everything beautifully and kept us informed. The holiday via Euro Bikes went smoothly and we had a great time. Good to know that they were there should anything have gone wrong.
I'm sure we will be looking again for next year.

Very well organised cycle hire

Very well organised cycle hire. Our bikes were ready on arrival with helmets etc and great explanation of everything we needed for our 2 day trip. Felt very well supported on a challenging but still comfortable route. The app was excellent! Would highly recommend.

A nice trip through suffolk

Coming from Germany we did a 7 day cycle tour through Suffolk. The tour was organized very well. The luggage was moved on time to the next hotel. The hotels were pretty good. The bikes were well and the navigation app reliably led us to the destinations. The routes included quiet and narrow lanes but some busy roads. Some paths were a bit uneven, and especially going downhill one had to be careful.
All in all it was a very nice trip.

Beautiful experience

Excellent service. The route was very well designed, the bike was in excellent condition and the stays were in very nice, cofortable places. I never felt alone, I knew there was always support a call away. A great experience, overall.

We enjoyed a great cycling holiday.

We enjoyed a great cycling holiday. Cycle Breaks made every effort to organize a great cycling holiday for us. I cycle on an e-tricycle (my wife on a regular e-bike) and I can't climb stairs. An excellent solution was found for everything and we are grateful to Cycle Breaks for everything they have organized and adapted for us. We cycled a tour through Suffolk and Norfolk with start and finish from Harwich. We are from the Netherlands.

Friendly and helpful staff

Friendly and helpful staff. Nothing too much trouble. The electric bikes were easy to use and comfortable. We had them delivered and collected from our hotels, even with this service Cycle Breaks are cheaper than any other rental company I could find

Great service and proper bicycles and gear

Bikes for 3 grown up men were delivered promptly at agreed location at time and in good condition and with a lot of selectable accessories (bags, map holders, cycling guides, tool and spares). Ready to go with minimal adjustments needed!

Jim and Adam provided excellent service throughout!
Thanks - we will definitely be in contact next time we are requiring bikes!

Excellent communication confirming transfers

Mike at cycle breaks arranged for the luggage transfer for 6 people between 5 different guesthouses/B&Bs & hotels as we cycled the Rebellion Way over 5 days around Norfolk. Very easy to arrange with Mike, excellent communication and great reassurance that luggage would be collected and dropped off on a timely and secure basis. Highly recommend.

Hi Caitriona. Thanks for the review and we're very pleased that you enjoyed the ride. Let us know should you and your friends look to tackle the Wolf Way in Suffolk and we'd be delighted to assist.

Personal attention, quick response

The personal attention and immediate response when something unexpected cropped up (thank you Andy;-). Friendliness of all the staff we had contact with before and during our holiday. Excellent hotel choices.

Lisbon to Spanish border - best cycle trip ever

The customer service was great from initial contact to placing the booking, and given its a bespoke holiday this does mean a few to and fro emails. The pre holiday information was perfect, letting us plan for our holiday with all our individual queries being answered quickly. Our airport pick up and drop offs were helpfully swapped for pick ups and drop offs at Airbnbs we'd arranged ourselves. In 35 years of cycle holidays this actual cycle holiday was one the best we've ever had - the initial induction hour was helpfully detailed providing lots of information not only about the route but also places of interest or eateries to visit, and the e-bikes and GPS were great - the steep hills and varied terrain meant an e-bike is essential for even keen leisure cyclists like us. The icing on the cake was the tour itself which was beyond our expectations - the hotels were 4* but all so very different - we opted for upgraded rooms so had sea or pool views and breakfasts were excellent some with fizz and smoked salmon - a favourite. Each leg of the cycle was also very varied with different terrain, views, landscapes, villages and towns we passed through. Everyday was a brilliant adventure we had a ball and can't recommend Cycle Breaks and this trip enough !

Efficient and friendly organisation of a holiday

Bikes were excellent and cycling routes were well-planned. Walking routes were variable, but largely due to farmers ploughing up footpaths. Even so, the directions were generally easily interpreted and accurate (e.g. after 50 m go through the hole in the hedge). Hotels were uniformly excellent with good restaurants and comfortable rooms. Support from cycle breaks was excellent - luggage transported efficiently and a variation to the schedule on one day was readily accommodated.
