Has anyone been on one?
Which one did you do, and what was it like?


Just curious, thinking of doing one next year and can't decide which one.

Fabulous scenery, you just have to remember things are done differently in other countries and don't get too wound up about things and above all MAKE SURE YOU ARE FIT! On the Iceland ride, it gets a tad wearing tolting 6 hours or so a day! Sure, you get breaks, but you will pay for it if not prepared....!



I have some pics..hang on....
