We travelled in Germany the first year and the book we received with travel details and directions to the hotels was very good. Last year on the Lake Konstanz trip the travel details were good but the maps directing us to the hotels were useless. Twice we spent over 40 mins trying o find hotels. Using Google maps is not a good idea in town as it sends you on roads This year on the Merano to Lake Garda trip the hotel directions were good but the travel directions were good in places and poor in others e.g. Merano to Bolzano - Leaving Merano at the 8.3 km point the book says to veer left at the fork and follow the cycle path Lana but there is no sign for Cycle path Lana and the sigh tells you to go straight on for Bolzano . This we did and ended up on a very busy road . We retraced our steps back to the fork and asked directions. In Lana at another point the book tells us to go straight ahead with NO cycle path sigh and the cycle path sigh tells us to turn left !! This time we followed the book. Arriving on the outskirts of Bolzano at the 36.1 km point in the book we ware told to turn left over the bridge but the cycle sign is pointing right. Having asked we are told very definitely to turn right. At 41.5 we are told it tis the end of the cycle path it is not. On another point, surely it would be easy for the tour company to indicate that hotel is within easy distance of a path. We were brought all the way into Bozano , through Bolzano and out the other side for 2.5 kms a further 45mins.cycle. We discovered the next day that our hotel CHRYS was 5 mins from the path at a vey identifiable point !!!!! Bolzano to Lake Caladaro. Directions there confusing. We did not want the hilly route but could we have gone a route that took us by Lake Caladaro . We were unsure and so opted for the river route. Telling you to do something at the 4.8 kms is vague . 4.8 ams from where ?? Trento to Riva /Torbole Finally there were far more ascents on this section than tis indicated in the book . The scenery on this trip was wonderful and we really enjoyed the trip but there is no doubt that there could be improvements in the book. Presentation of bicycles Only one of the four bicycles were at the correct height - two were at a height suitable to people 1m 80cms!!!! However we did not see this as a problem as we are well capable of adjusting the saddles. However the saddles were so tight that trying to adjust the saddles was very very difficult. In fact one could not be moved even with the help of a biker.!!!!! We had to ring the local Euro cycle rep. Not good enough !!
