Sojourn Bicycling & Active Vacations
1 review for Sojourn Bicycling & Active Vacations
WOW! Where is the 6 star option on here? If there was, I'd be going for that so consider this review as a strong STRONG 5.
Sojourn is a small company that has staff with big hearts! Sojourn is an active vacation...in other words you bicycle rather than sitting on a tour bus. I did the Lake Champlain VT/NY tour for Team Sarcoma 2007 Bike Tour and I had a blast! You really get to appreciate the state more than being in a car or bus simply because you can smell the smells, really see the green, and you can slowly ride alone or zip with your friends down a descent--your choice! (all they ask is you reconnect with them for lunch, dinner, and group activities...unless you really want to bike on)
And no they don't send you on a death ride, there are options for easy rides, long rides, hilly rides--etc. And if you are really tired or just simply don't want to bike anymore for the day, you can just flag down a sag wagon for a lift (or for a snack). They give you directions, which are complete and easy to follow--and they brief you in the morning so there are no miscommunications. Plus they have an experienced Sojourn rider out on the same route so there are no worries!
What really impressed me is that Sojourn typically does tours with groups that are like, 12-20 people in size. How big was the bike tour? Try 52 with a few "day trippers" coming and going day-by-day! Sojourn has never done and under-taking like this before and let me say they did it with finesse.
Sojourn staff is up early to unload bikes and up late for maintenance and loading bikes--they work work work but always have a chipper smile! :)
I would DEFINITELY go on another Sojourn vacation--it's like adult summer camp without the cheesy songs around the pit fire!
