What people are saying

Check out our testimonials from our 2024 Escape to Båstad

There were plenty of instructions and the leaflets we got for the details of the routes were amazing. The leaders were very well informed and were also great at informing what is ahead of us. Couldn't be any better than this.

An expertly crafted trip from the moment we arrived to the sad moment we had to head home. I would definitely recommend to any RCC member looking for a true Scandinavian adventure!

Chapeau to the entire Rapha team. We could not have organised the same experience on our own and they went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a smile on their faces - no matter the weather. Thanks again!
