Recommendations for Tour Groups
We are looking for tour group rides in the Western US. Originally, we had booked and paid for a Columbia River Tour with Santana Adventures, but the cruise line went bankrupt.
We’ve found Lizard Tours and Escape Adventures. Has anyone used them?
Any other recommended tour companies?
TIA.
Cheers, Mike

Escape Adventures worked out really well for us. Our guide had guided trips at that location before, was familiar with the location. Location was White Rim. Tour groups come and go, but if Escape Adventures are still around 10 years after our trip, I would be happy to use them.
The guide can make or break a trip, same with being in a good group of participants. We had a great guide. In our case, our group of participants were all from the same community, so that helped since most of us knew each other before the trip.

Number of days? Average daily mileage. Camping? Desired terrain?

A bit over a decade ago I use REI Travel for two Europe trips, guided, sleeping indoors. I have not used them for USA trips but they offer them. The Europe trips I did, they provided the bikes, I do not know what they do for trips in USA.

When I did the REI trips, I used an REI credit card to get the extra 5 percent kickback on my credit card.
