Spyns Former Clients Coming Back for 2010 TDF

I'm pleased to report that almost 30% of our Spyns 2010 Tour de France clients will be former Spyns alums. Thanks everyone! Rumours abound that this will be Lance's last Tour de France and given Spyns Tour de France reservations, interest is higher this year than during Armstrong's last podium-topping tour (in 2005).

This year we are offering both luxury and classic tours and believe me it was a difficult decision. Spyns Tour de France trips have traditionally been a 'one-price-for-all' but given the current financial crisis, we thought it best to give potential clients more options and this included a less expensive trip with all of our world-class service but at reasonably-priced hotels. This doesn't mean you'll be sleeping at Ho Jo's as you'll still get 2 chateaux and Hotel Regina in Paris overlooking the finish course. But it does give clients the choice to choose a standard room rather than suite to spend a bit less on their Tour de France tour. I also wanted to ask a former Spyns client about his decision to travel with us again.

Lorne MacLean and his wife traveled with us to Beaujolais in 2008 and gave us a quick blurb as to why he wanted to join us again in 2010:

"Spyns made our first trip to France so memorable. We were always looking at the photos and movie the guides put together for us and were itching for another reason to go back. Ryan (Spyns President) often sent us postcards while he was on tour and we sort of fell in love with Spyns Tour de France trip and decided to take the plunge in 2010! We're not super-strong riders and just wanted a relaxed, fun, trip so that we didn't have to deal with the chaos of trying to follow the tour. We can't wait to come back."

I was lucky enough to lead the MacLean's Spyns trip in 2008. It's always a pleasure having fellow Canadians on tour because they never, ever, complain about the weather. In fact, only Russians complain less about the weather in my experience but that's another blog. Despite some rather rainy days, the MacLeans were wonderful clients and I can't wait to have them back on the Spyns Tour de France trip.

It's funny that I've spent the last five years of my life building Spyns into a viable business and recently I've had to place caps on some of our tours simply because we cannot meet the demand. We are giving former clients first choice of the tours they want to join simply because they deserve it but I'm thrilled so many former clients want to join Spyns Tour de France trip.
