A word from our clients

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

October Pyrenees/Non-Cylist
What an amazing experience! Celebrating our 25th anniversary, watching my husband climb so many famous Tour de France climbs was a real treat! Steve & Julia were so welcoming upon our arrival at the train station and it just got better from there. We connected quickly with the other cyclists and one other non-cylist, all from different parts of the world. I especially enjoyed our meal times, chatting, laughing and getting to know one another. Riding along with Julia in the support van, each day more beautiful than the last was spectacular. I loved being able to watch my husband conquer his bucket list climbs and was able to get great videos and photos of him accomplishing them. Unfortunately the photos just don't do it justice! The beauty of the mountains, especially during the change of seasons was a sight I won't soon forget. Not knowing too much about cycling, the tour seemed well organized and the cyclists had everything they needed from great bikes & gear, to great guides and great support along the routes each day. The experience left us longing for more and has my husband already looking into a Spain trip that we hear through the grapevine Veloroo might soon be planning. Fingers crossed!! I highly recommend using Veloroo for your next cycling tour!

I have traveled to the TDU in Adelaide using VeloRoo to transport my bike 3 times. Each time it has been an easy and stressfree experience, with my bike travelling securely in the van and arriving in Adelaide and then back in Brisbane undamaged and with no assembly required. This makes my Adelaide trip stress free, with my bike ready for me to use, and in the same condition as when I dropped it off.
I highly recomended this bike transportation service by VeloRoo.

Gravel Bliss - Thank you VeloRoo for a fabulous cycling experience in the South Burnett.
Great company, blue skies, smooth gently undulating gravel roads without a vehicle in sight (apart from the VeloRoo-ber); country charm, Jacarandas & paper daisies in bloom with wood fired pizza & wine to finish off.
Cycling doesn't get much better.

Fantastic Gravel Tour with friends & VeloRoo
What a fantastic tour organised by Steve and Julia, this was my first tour with VeloRoo and I enjoyed every part of it, on the bike and off the bike. The enthusiasm from Steve on the ride was so infectious! Plus having some of the local residents ride with us was even more interesting for me as we heard about some of the history and local area knowledge.

I’m already waiting to sign up to the next organised event!

First I have to apologize for talking so long to write my review, especially since my wife and I had an amazing time. Steve, Julia and Neal are awesome. If you ride with VeloRoo you will have a fantastic experience period! I quickly told my cycling buddies back at home. In fact, one of my buddies rode the Pyrenees in Autumn of 2019 (see Dale's review) and said it was trip of a lifetime.

My wife and I did the July Pyreness/South of France tour. From a cycling standpoint, we are at completely different levels. I ride close to 6000 miles a year and love climbing. My wife is new to cycling and was just starting to use clip in pedals about 5 months before our trip. That said, Veloroo is able to accommodate the ride for everyone. They make the rides flexible for the riders. For example, instead of riding the entire Col de Tourmalet, Veloroo drove my wife and several riders up halfway and they were able to ride the rest to the summit. On any given day, you can ride as much as you want or at any time take a nice break.

We were very fortunate to ride with a group of riders primarily from Australia. And close friendships were quickly made during the trip and remain afterward.

A couple of shoutouts....

Julie, thank you for making things run so smoothly. I know it requires a lot of preparation and attention to detail. You did a marvelous job and are awesome. Steve is a lucky guy to have you.

Steve, your positive attitude, sense of humor, and passion really made our trip. I appreciate all of the help you did with my wife. She really appreciated it as well and is even more motivated to get more climbing under her belt.

Neal, we really appreciated all of your help and tips. We love all of your great stories and insight. Most of all you are one of the nicest guys you could meet.

VeloRoo really does treat you like family and you become part of their extended family after you ride with them.

Cycling to me is a passion and is potentially something that my wife and I can share doing together. After this trip, my wife has gotten the cycling bug and has already started planning for local rides that we can do together. I consider that a success.

Thank you VeloRoo!
