GBCycling Greek Islands 2023 It was a fantastic trip! The cycling routes were great. Riding on almost empty roads was quite a treat. The routes were challenging but the scenery was beautiful and the destinations (little towns and/or archeological sites) rewarding. We really loved been able to spend the night at some ports which allowed us to enjoy the towns. The ship and facilities were very good and the crew very attentive and polite. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend it to cyclists that enjoy the freedom of following a route on their own and at their own pace. This was our sixth trip with Santana and were looking forward to some more.

GBOur latest trip with Santana from Barcelona to Lisbon Our latest trip with Santana from Barcelona to Lisbon was fantastic. The rides were ones we would have never put together on our own and each day was laced with magical moments whether it be breathtaking vistas, historical awe or cultural learning. The ship was world class - including our brilliant chef, and it was (as always) a great time to meet new friends and hang with old. If you have never done a trip with Santana, please know that this is tour created for avid cyclists and not an adventure vacation where you have a chance to go on bike rides. These trips require realistic expectations, a good attitude and a willingness to go with the flow. We have done more than 10 now, and have never regretted a single one.

BSA unique and wonderful trip to Tasmania! A unique and wonderful trip! Santana has its own special vibe which we connected to right away. The guests are interesting, open and always up for a laugh. Our ship and crew in Tasmania get a resounding A+. The Santana gang was helpful and down to earth. We had a great time.

NZWe have been on two Santana adventures… We have been on two Santana adventures and have signed up for 4 more. The ships are exquisite. Much smaller than a traditional cruise ship, luxurious and with excellent food. Most importantly however the cycling locations and routes are primo. There is a nice variety of easy, medium and hard routes that anyone can find challenging or relaxing.

GBMy 7th trip and have 2025 booked This is my 7th trip with Santana and again couldn't have been happier. The boats crew, accommodations, and ability to bike daily with all gear and belongings remaining in one place is special. I again loved the routes reach day and the flexibility. Will be on the 2025 Florence to Barcelona trip next. Santana support has improved every year and my daughter came and had a wonderful time even as a non-cyclist.
