Rebellion Way Testimonials

************

Again you selected an excellent array of places to stay and eat, a fantastic choice for our itinerary

We were actually very lucky with the weather, some excellent drinking holes along the way, and the number of lovely people we stopped to chat with. Suzy, we had a brilliant time and would do it again.  Thank you.

Hi Suzy... just a note to say I had a great time in Norfolk. Really enjoyed it. Although it was only fleetingly 'warm' - at convenient coffee or lunch stops as it happened - it was dry apart from one short shower Saturday morning but I was visiting the inside of a church at the time.

The roads are amazing, drivers so courteous and the area completely devoid of  fly tipping. Maybe that tells you more about where I live!

Your notes were spot on - picked out what I wanted to view (which wasn't all of them).

All the accommodations were great.

"We found your day by day guides to be very useful too. So, overall it all worked very well, and we’d all like to thank you for organising it for us."

Thanks for the route. It was so pretty. All went well..only one puncture but I think the consensus was that the off-road bits were a bit tough on road bikes even with tough tyres. 

Hotels etc were excellent as were your notes and suggestions.

So thank you 😊

Will recommend you to my cycling group ladies!

Many thanks for your help in organising our cycling adventure around Norfolk.  We enjoyed it very much.  Some beautiful countryside along the way and a great mixture of cycling also helped knowing that at the end of the day we had a dry/warm room for the night

"The Rebellion Way was a wonderful experience and we had a great time which in no small part was due to the schedule you drew up which was perfect for mixing riding with visiting sites of interest along the route (we made full use of our National Trust memberships!). We would certainly recommend the seven days itinerary to anyone who wants to choose a more leisurely pace and enjoy more exploration along the route and the individual days’ distances were ideally broken down. It was certainly a cycling holiday and not a cycling challenge.

Your itinerary was excellent, left nothing unexplained and was clarity personified. We are so glad we discovered Explore Norfolk UK at the outset of our planning and didn’t attempt to take on sorting out accommodation etc ourselves. The accommodation, by the way, was excellent and provided some of the highlights, especially Kings Lynn and Blickling.

Recommendations for food were spot on and certainly the culinary highlight was Socius in Burnham Market.

I couldn’t recommend our experience highly enough and can only hope that we find a company like Explore Norfolk UK if we undertake a similar cycling holiday elsewhere in the country."

Thanks for organizing a great 12 day cycling trip along the Rebelllion Way. The Rebellion Way is a relatively new cycling route and until now we realize that you have mostly organized walking tours. You did a fantastic job. Here are some of the highlights:

1. Communication was perfect. Emails were always answered promptly.
2. Your knowledge of the area is impeccable, You provided detailed information about the route, points of interests and places to eat.
3. You were very flexible. Most people do the route in 3-6 days. We had more time to explore Norfolk and you suggested side trips when we were staying in a town for two nights. You were also flexible in working with us to find accommodations that met our needs.
4. The gravel bikes you provided were top notch. You met us our first morning with bikes and bike bags. When one of the bags didn't fit properly, you promptly got us another one.
5. Transfer of our luggage between towns was done seamlessly.
6. You arranged great weather for us. Not too hot and not too cold. Barely a raindrop.

We had a wonderful trip and highly recommend you to anyone looking to explore the Norfolk region. We doubt there is anyone better to work with.

Hi Suzy. Sorry for the late response but wanted to say thanks for organising our trip round Norfolk. We absolutely loved it!. All the hotels were great at accommodating our bikes and charging the e-bike. Your local knowledge in booking the hotels made it really stress-free as it meant we didn't have to do a load of research to find suitable places to stay. The hotels made an effort to supply gluten-free options for breakfast and some for dinner. 

Regarding the route, it was a really great experience, so varied and loads to see, so much history and nature. I would say that it's best not to attempt it on skinny road tyres, lots of rough off-road sections to deal with but that made it more of an adventure. Even a soaking in Thetford Forest didn't dampen our spirits. We're now trying to organise a similar trip around Kent (The Cantii Way) and it's a real pain trying to find hotels so we appreciate your service even more.
