"Tall Stories are a great company to work with, they are both professional and knowledgeable and are always on hand to answer questions. Having also participated in a London to Paris Cycle myself, I can say that their tour guides are first class and a joy to cycle with. The event is run professionally from the time of confirmation to the celebration dinner. I have no hesitation in booking the event for 2010." Kathryn Amey, Events & Communications Executive, Caravan (the charity for the grocery industry).

“Orchid this year held our first ever bespoke London to Paris Cycle Ride and after an incredibly successful trip I can not recommend Tall Stories enough.  Every aspect of the trip from start to finish was organised thoroughly and efficiently and nothing was ever too much trouble.  The team both in the London office and on the trip were a pleasure to work with and the feed back from all our participants has been nothing but praise for the smooth running, organisation, cycling guides and support crew who got them to Paris.   We already have next years event in the Orchid diary and am thoroughly looking forward to working with Tall Stores again.”
Caroline Jennings, Events Manager, Orchid Male Cancer Charity
