We 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.

My 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.

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!!

Our 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.

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.
