Each tour is graded on a level of difficulty and fitness. This is measured on days distances travelled and the level of fitness. We would like you to choose your holiday accordingly. The difficulty levels are graded on road surfaces, the technical skills required to complete the routes and also the amount of hills to climb. Please note that your individual physical fitness has the greatest part to play on how tired or how well you cope on a tour. However we do not mind you taking time out in the tour bus along the way, after all you are on holiday.

Tour Fitness level 1

Can be enjoyed by less experienced cyclists. The pace is gentle, and the terrain flat with some hills and mainly tar roads, you do not need to be an experienced cyclist. You should be physically fit and enjoy outdoor exercise.

I took part in a pre Cape Argus race training programm with Charles from the 2nd March till the 12th March 2007. The training programm for the race was well structured, and the touristic highlights innovative and varied. Charles knows all the best spots in Cape Town and is a good organiser. His skills as a guide and his willingness to please is exceptional. I would like to thank him for a great time in Africa and hope to come again.

We booked the Soulriding - Pre Argus and Race tour. Charles, our tour leader took us on amazing coastal rides on the Cape Penisula and Gordons Bay. In Franschhoek and in the mountains passes the going got tough... With these training techniques were well prepared for the race and rode through the finish line with great times. Thanks a lot Charles, amazing momments and impressions from the Western Cape, South Africa. We shall come again..

14 Day Road Tour in Feburary 2006

I was supposed to climb a mountain but went cycling with charles on a Soulriding Tour in the Western cape. The hotels were fantastic, espeially the villa in Cape Town, first class food and wine, the local people so friendly. We rode over 800km and all the best passes, a great training programm.

Private Day Tours to the Cape Peninsula and to the Winelands, May 2007

I very much enjoyed our outings with Soul Touring. The breathtaking views of the Cape of Good Hope and the beautiful wine country definitely made me feel that I was just getting a taste of how lovely South Africa really is. I have already been telling friends about your individually-tailored touring guides. I regret not having the time to go on a safari with you (well . . .next time). Your very personal sense of the history and culture of South Africa was an added delight.
