This was my second cycling trip to Taiwan, and it was even better than the first. We cycled from south to north, taking in the amazing Taroko Gorge climb. This... read more is an epic climb, which the pro cyclists race up each year, but with Pedal Taiwan's help our group of retired amateurs managed to get to the top. The food, sightseeing, accommodation and support were all brilliant and once again I was blown away by the quality of the cycling - beautiful scenery, perfect roads, polite drivers and friendly locals. A big thanks to Rob, James and Frank for making the trip so special.

  The Pedal Taiwan tour provided interesting and challenging rides, and the opportunity to sample the wide range of food options.
Usually a cycling tour will cover only a small part... read more of a country. However when I looked at the main places of interest, I concluded that this cycling tour was probably the best way to see the country. The 2-week itinerary took us north up the east coast as well as around Taipei, so really most of the places of interest were covered. I tacked on several days for some extra sightseeing.
Rob provided a well organised, relaxed and enjoyable itinerary, and was backed by an excellent tour leader in James, and a great mechanic in Frank. Accommodation was of a high standard, with a mix of hotels and B & B's. His research and experience on the best places to eat was also a bonus - it was fun to try different and unusual foods, particularly in the night markets.
It was a great cycling holiday and I would recommend it to others

  I did the 4 day KOM tour, and James and Annie were excellent guides. The rides and climbs were challenging for enough for a fit and experienced cyclist, especially days... read more 2 and 3 which include both sides of Wuling Pass, but also quite doable for others.

The hotels and food were also very good. Our guides took us to great local places for food that we would never have visited on our own.

  We had a great time. The cycling was fun and the brochure descriptions give a clear indication of what to expect. For a part time cyclist like me the trip... read more was challenging but achievable even if i was a little slow up the 87k climb! My wife had a great time on a hired electric bike which made hill climbing very easy. We enjoyed the mix of cycling and stopping off to see the sights - hot springs, tea plantations, night markets, great food, temples, friendly people. The accommodation worked really well even in remote locations and the support team were helpful throughout.

  2 week trip involving exploration of Taipei a bullet train ride and then more fabulous cycling along the southern and eastern coast before mountain climbs and descents. Thanks to James... read more and Frank our bike support team and Rob for organising everything so efficiently . The food was amazing and the guiding team enabled us to explore all sorts of fabulous local restaurants the street food was unusual and really added to the experience. The Taroko gorge was an epic challenge but with a mixed ability group Rob and his team still managed to provide support to the front and the back of the peleton and I think all the party ended the day exhausted but satisfied with the achievement. Would recommend the trip to anyone with a sense of adventure keen to explore Taiwan

  Cycling with Pedal Taiwan over the last 2 weeks was an unforgettable cycling experience. The event included cycling along the east side of the island, the southern most point being... read more Eulanbi, up to Keelung and then finishing in Taipai. Somewhere in this journey we managed to include the KOM challenge, a ride from sea level, through the Taroko Gorge and ending up some 110km later at the 3275m summit.
The views en route were stunning,Pedal Taiwan incorporated places of interest to stop at and explore, hot springs, street markets... The roads were smooth and cycle friendly. The food stops and restaurants in the evenings gave us the chance to enjoy some superb Taiwanese food. The Taiwanese people so welcoming and friendly.
But an amazing plus was the fact that my non cycling husband was able to join in and cycle with the peloton, courtesy of an electric bike organised by Pedal Taiwan.
He thoroughly enjoyed this cycling adventure, so if an experience can transform a virtual novice to someone who has now booked and will join me on another cycling adventure then clearly Pedal Taiwan must have done a superb job. Many thanks to Rob who organised the event and the guides/ backup (Frank and James) for a great holiday.

  Taiwan is a great place to cycle (wide roads, bike lanes, friendly drivers and locals, great landscape, some serious mountains!) and Rob from PedalTaiwan.com did a great job to help... read more us design the perfect trip for this father and son (13yo) week-end from Taipei to the Coast (Fulong, Jiaoxi), get us geared up (the bike rentals were of a high quality) as well as welcome us during our ride.

Kudos to James, our local Taiwanese cycling guide (with a well-equipped support Van), who was the ideal partner for this type of ride, thanks to his local knowledge, food recommendations, patient temperament etc; He always makes sure you have a fabulous time, either on the road/bike, or during the various breaks and stops. He is a real asset!

We have done our fair-share travelling in the Asia region, and eventhough this was our first cycling-only adventure, we found that PedalTaiwan delivered on all aspects of the organisation despite the challenges associated with a bike trip (logistics, weather, closed roads, etc). I highly recommend the experience with Rob, James and PedalTawain.

  Thanks to Pedal Taiwan for organising a Fantastic trip and thanks to the people of Taiwan for their fantastic welcome,country, food, and culture.

The cycling was 1st class... read more with the scenery stunning, roads in great order and the drivers courteous.
Accommodation on the trip was varied , but all to a high standard .
I just want to go back to Taiwan as it exceeded my expectations.

Thanks again to Rob and Bradley

  We had a 2 week tour with our guide James who not only is a keen cyclist but is passionate about his country, it's history, people, sight's and delicacies.
The... read more roads in Taiwan are of a high standard and we were shown the best rides to sample the tarmac - with stunning views.
Great accommodation with some real surprises throughout the regional areas - again local knowledge uncovers gems.
Riding the Taiwan KOM course was a highlight and an epic experience.
I can highly recommend you putting Taiwan on your cycling to do list and let Rob and James from Pedal Taiwan look after you.
