Good cycling adventure- not for the faint-hearted
Cycling Holiday across Jordan- great route, some tough weather which is common on winter trips- it requires an above average level of cycling fitness.

Cycling Holiday across Jordan- great route, some tough weather which is common on winter trips- it requires an above average level of cycling fitness. This was fairly clear on the brochure although the shortened days in winter requiring a faster pace may have been worth highlighting. There is good vehicle back up, which worked really well and accommodation was mostly good- let down in two places, which need a little work ( the home-stay and hostel), but the various small glitches were managed well by the cycle tour guide. Snacks, bike management and the support crew were all of a high standard and I would recommend this trip to other- as long as you are fit enough.
Rating for tour operator:
KE were pretty good- the support crew were excellent and the cycling guide was attentive and professional- a little focused initially on the fittest front of the cycling pack, but flexible when this was pointed out to him. The company decision on the homestead location was probably my only small adverse comment- two basic rooms to sleep nearly 20 people and one drop toilet for the whole group was a bit basic when we needed a good night's sleep for long day's cycling. The hostel accommodation later in the trip was also cold and unfinished- apart from those two things, the tour was really to a good standard and met our expectations very well.
