"Elizabeth & I really enjoyed the Hokkaido cycle tour - Road surfaces great, bikes no problems - I managed to ride over each of the 3 mountain passes. Elizabeth enjoyed the downhills and did probably 250km - I would have done about 450 or so. Scenery great, food an experience accomodation excellent, company fantastic, weather variable but warm. Will be recommending it to others" Ross Marshall, NZ, Secrets of Hokkaido Cycle, August 2010
