A word from our clients

Don’t take our word for it - here's some comments from happy VeloRoovians

Great gravel trail experience
Well organised with good trails, catering for all levels of ability. Good fund times with a few bevvys in the evening. Just wished I had less red wine before Day1!! Did the Kingaroy gravel trails and joined the local club on the last day. Would definitely do it again

Exceptional - great service, great bikes, great ride. Steve and Julia were fantastic. Did two days of riding and couldn't fault the experience. Steve is obsessed with quality kit....bikes were superb. Will be back next year for more.

We did a Pyrenees trip with Veloroo and it was incredible. We did four days of riding at our own pace, climbing seven peaks from the iconic cols to hidden gems with views and riding that were every bit as good, or better, than the climbs we had seen on broadcasts of the Tour.

Luz-Saint-Sauveur is a perfect home base. It is a lovely, pastoral town with all the amenities and a relaxed setting perfect for after-ride beverages while we reviewed all our photos.

We loved riding in late September. Without the huge crowds, we had the roads to ourselves. We could climb at our own pace without worrying about other riders and without having strangers in any of our pictures! Not to mention the fact that we didn’t have to contend with very many vehicles on the roads. In fact, on a few rides, I can’t remember passing a single car on the entire climb, and descent!

Our riding was particularly amazing because the leaves were changing and the Fall colours made the scenery even more incredible. At higher elevations, there was snow, so the mountains looked amazing.

This was our second trip with Steve and Julia. We were nervous before the trip because we weren’t sure that our legs would hold up to these iconic climbs. Steve allowed us to ride at a comfortable pace for us. He is a great motivator and really helps us to relax and enjoy the ride.

While we spent most of our time riding with Steve, Julia’s work in the support vehicle was so appreciated. She has an uncanny way of being in exactly the right place when you need a water bottle refill or to take off a layer of gear. Plus, she also takes some amazing photos when we don’t even know she is photographing us.

The accommodation and meals were also amazing. Steve and Julia have found a great spot in Luz-Saint-Saveur that is comfortable and well-kept. All our meals were excellent and we really enjoyed dining with Steve and Julia after a day in the saddle.

We also love the beautiful Veloroo kit we were given during the trip. Riding in it now that we are back home is a great way to remember our amazing rides in the Pyrenees.

Best Part of Our Trip. I am not a big reviewer of organizations, esp if they are not five stars. In this case, writing a favorable review may not just be a nice thing to do but mandatory. Any of you out there who enjoy riding, amiable company, and crazy beautiful French countryside need to cycle with Steve. While there were many things about our trip that were fantastic (it is France, after all), our half-day ride with VeloRoo made the top of the list of things to do -- and do again, I hope.

Peaceful, Quiet, and Beautiful Languedoc Region. It is hard to put into words just how much we enjoyed our ride with Steve and Julia. We contacted them after visiting their website, and arranged a custom cycling tour. Steve was happy to organize three days of riding that met our skills and interests through the amazing hills and parks in the area. We did longer rides each day (95, 125, and 85 kms) that allowed us to explore the region and really get an authentic experience. We were extremely happy with the rental bikes and appreciated their smooth ride, light weight, and excellent maintenance. Steve and Julia really made us feel comfortable and made our whole experience one that we will never forget. Just an outstanding experience that we would recommend. Next time we bike in France, Veloroo will be our first call!
