We have done two Santana Adventures We have done two Santana Adventures, one to Tahiti and the second to New Zealand. We love riding our tandem, we love seeing the world through our biking experience, and being on a ship with a couple of hundred people who share this love as well. We love vacations full of action and activity, where we are tired at the end of the day from being out and seeing the world together and with friends. The people we meet on these tours are so wonderful and share similar values and interests. Bill always has a variety of rides to meet all levels of interest and ability so that no one feels left out; and he also has great activities for non-riders. We will definitely go again.

Santana Adventures, cycling for independent minds. Santana Adventures offers unique cycling cruises with great cruise lines and cycling routes that offer a variety of terrain and distance each day. Cyclists have plenty of independence for each ride as to speed and stops along the way. One or more interesting and/or historical venues are also featured on every ride.

This was a fantastic cruise This was a fantastic cruise; if you want to be coddled and have your hand held every step-of-the-way, go on a Disney Cruise. If you want a great adventure seeing Europe on a bike (but without the hassel of being responsible for dragging your equipment around with you), this is the vacation for you. The routes are well-planned, allow for a bit of adventure and riding at one's own pace. Know how to fix a tire. Get miles on your bike before you leave. Enjoy the ride knowing that you have back-up for serious mechanical issues, someone will find you if you are truly lost or injured, and you get off the plane, hand your bike to the crew, and can enjoy yourself knowing that Santana has covered any issue that comes up.

One and done with Santana It’s hard to even give it a 1 star. This trip was the 3 D’s Disorganized Dangerous Disappointing Bill didn’t have the routes ready until an hour before the ride. His chicken scratch maps would make a 4 year old laugh, and he had nothing planned at any rest stops. If we did stop at a restaurant, they would run out of food by the time the later riders arrived. The routes took us on busy roads which were quite dangerous. All and all a very disappointing experience. I have done 15 Backroads trips and I will never waiver now that I have tried Santana Adventures. One and done!!

Worth every penny The whole trip was very well organized and all the support people were very patient and put up with a lot of questions. The logistics were very well done and getting from point A to B was very smooth. I would definitely do another Santana trip. The only thing that missed was that I was under the impression that I could "rent" CO2 cartridges. I thought that I would put down a deposit for them and get my money back if I returned them. I was literally told by the person who I paid, "I hope to be buying these back at the end". When I returned the cartridges, I was told there was no money returned. Not really a big deal in the greater scheme of things but definitely was not communicated correctly.
