Mellow Jersey - Stratford-upon-Avon

Hila K.

We went on a perfect road cycling trip with Mellow Jersey, riding from Venice all the way to Lake Bled in Slovenia.
Everything was planned and executed to the highest standard — from the route selection, the guiding, the atmosphere, the food, and the hotels.
The logistics were handled with true professionalism and precision.
It was four unforgettable days.
This company is made up of real professionals who put their heart and soul into every detail.

Thank you so much!

See you next time

I recently went on the Women's North tour, and it was an incredible experience. As this was my first time traveling alone, I felt quite nervous at the start, but everything was so well-organized. I was met at the airport as arranged, which immediately put me at ease. The hotel we stayed at was lovely, and upon arrival, the team greeted me warmly. They explained the schedule clearly, letting me know exactly what to expect, where to go, and when to be ready.

Throughout the tour, I was supported on all the activities, especially the rides, which I really appreciated. Despite being the most senior in age and not as fit as the others, I never once felt out of place. The team made me feel included and capable at all times. Overall, the trip exceeded my expectations and gave me the confidence to consider more solo travels in the future.

UPDATE:
From March 22nd to 29th, I embarked on a solo cycling tour in Mallorca with Mellow Jersey—a company I’ve previously toured with and grown to adore. What made this trip even more special was reconnecting with ladies I'd met during a previous tour. As expected, the experience was nothing short of delightful.
The weather proved unpredictable at times, peaking with a freak storm that featured heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and snow—all compressed into just three hours! Yet, the organizers excelled in navigating these challenges, consistently monitoring radar systems to ensure we avoided the rain as much as possible. Out of seven days, only one ride was affected, demonstrating their dedication to making every moment enjoyable.
The charm of Mellow Jersey lies not only in its well-organized tours but also in the warm, inclusive nature of its guides. Each ride is thoughtfully planned to accommodate the varying abilities of cyclists, ensuring no one feels out of their depth. This approach creates a welcoming and confidence-boosting environment, perfect for both seasoned riders and beginners.
Every aspect of the week—despite the weather's mood swings—was a pleasure. The camaraderie among participants, the stunning landscapes of southern Mallorca, and the impeccable planning truly stand out. I’m already counting down the days until my next tour with Mellow Jersey!

This was my first cycling holiday abroad, I was going on my own and was a little nervous about how I would manage the itinerary. However, from the get go I felt taken care of. Tony and the other ride leaders are super friendly, knowledgeable, experienced and intent on giving us all the best experience, despite on this occasion, the weather being quite unpredictable at times. Rides were shortened or made earlier in the day to avoid the rain and extra rides were put on to keep the keen riders pedalling. Cafe stops all had great coffee and cake. I enjoyed the evening meetups to go through the routes, and being given a choice of pace and distance was much appreciated by those of us with health/fitness challenges! The workshop on bike maintenance was particularly useful.

I'm sure that the friendly ethos of the organisers filters through to the other riders, who all looked out for each other and were inspirational in their own way. I always had someone to talk to and can see why so many of the group were repeat offenders!

The hotel was exceptional - the room had everything I needed and the pool and spa were well equipped, clean and spacious. There was so much choice at breakfast and dinner it was hard not to overeat 😀 The only slight niggle was having to pay for water at dinner, although I think this is a Mallorca thing.

Overall, I had THE BEST time and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a cycling holiday. To those nervous about going on their own - seriously, go for it!

What can I say apart from had my “Best day Ever!!” On our day climbing Sa Calobra! A experience I will never forget. Made even more perfect by a great team of supportive women and our amazing leader Tony! I’ve had the best week in Northern Mallorca and tackled hills I never thought possible. So lucky with the gorgeous weather, and the superb hotel and food made it a relaxing week away for us all. Thanks to all the special ladies I shared the week with and Dave and Rachel who I loved riding with! Highly recommend Mellow Jersey tours to anyone! Emma is the best organiser in the world and takes all the stress out of it all, we just turn up and ride bikes everyday! Perfect week!

I have had the absolute pleasure of being part of the first Mellow Jersey South Island Majorca tour.

I went as a solo person , knowing no one at all. I've left after a week having met so many amazing people. I've not once felt alone.

From the initial booking , Emma put me at ease. She is so knowledgeable and email communication is brilliant.

When I arrived, the transfer was there and fellow people 'sussed' out who I was , so I wasn't on my own for long , and there was a great group of 5 of us at the airport.

Tony , with Dave, Rachel and Nicola made sure we were sorted for a short intro ride once we got there and had , had some food.

There's a group meeting about the following days ride. There a numerous paced groups, DO NOT BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS LIKE I WAS !! Riding in a group is easier for starters, and ALL the ride leaders where just fantastic.

I've not laughed so much on bike rides ever, but it was so much fun.

Emma joined our group on Wednesday , and it was brilliant to meet her !!! You do feel like you're part of the Mellow Jersey family straight from the get go.

The hotel was lovely. It catered brilliantly for veggies too, which can be difficult in Spain ! The rooms were gorgeous too. Super comfy beds too !!

Will I go with Mellow Jersey again Too right !!! I'm already an eager beaver wanting to book for 2024!!!

It’s the 3rd year in a row that Mellow Jersey have run a tour for our club riders in Portishead. From booking through to the goodbyes, the service is fantastic, issues that can crop up on rides are solved and both Emma and Tony are just lovely. Roll in 2025, all being well, and another Mallorca experience.

A truly unforgettable tour once again delivered by Mellow Jersey along the NC500 in Scotland. This was our second bespoke tour for our group, the first being Lowestoft to St.Davids.
I cannot recommend them highly enough as Emma, Tony and their team members always deliver, going above and beyond to provide excellent routes, guidance and support.
I'm looking forward to travelling with them again.
