Potentially looking at a cycling tour summer holiday, just a week, for 3 of us - myself, the OH and stepson who will be 11. Like the idea of a tour company who carry the bags, plan a route, accommodation and we just ride. Ideally in Europe and not in the UK, with maybe a day or two off the bike just doing touristy stuff.

Fine to ride 30-40 miles per day average, and maybe top out at 60 miles one day. Would want reasonably gentle terrain, no Alpine cols, but don't mind the odd hill - probably mainly road.

Any recommendations of companies and specific tours we could do?

Mrs S senior had this brochure on the coffee table the other day. Seemed to have some nice stuff that seemed family orientated.

We used Freedom Treks for a tour of Belgium.

Seemed well organised, luggage arrived everywhere before we did and the route cards were fine.

There are blooming loads of ads in the back of the CTC magazine for stuff like this - know anyone that's a member? If not, email me your address and I'll send you mine.
