“I have been on two trips with Viva Velo. Attention to customer fun and safety are central to Dyll’s philosophy.
The way delays and impacts of the current Covid pandemic was dealt with for my two bookings delayed this year was pragmatic and done with the utmost fairness. The fact I have two future events booked are testament to my view of Viva Velo. I have been on a few [cycling] trips and Viva Velo is by far the standout provider.”
