Our cycling holidays & cycling tours
Our cycling holidays are all about gaining a sense of freedom. Whether you’re cycling between chateaux in the Loire Valley, pedalling through red-rock Jordanian wadis, or putting your calf muscles to the test on spectacular mountain roads such as those of South Africa, Nepal and Cuba, you’ll feel like those two wheels can take you anywhere (especially the case if you took the e-bike option!). Routes are designed by experts who know every bend in the road, and the best places to stop for a coffee, a picnic, or a swim. And no matter if you choose a guided small group tour, where you simply follow the leader, or a self guided trip where you set the pace, there’s a welcoming, locally run hotel waiting for you every afternoon.

Cycling holiday types
We have devised various categories of cycling holidays, so that you can work out which one suits you best. Or, indeed, how much to work out before you go. The good news is that there is a wealth of exhilarating escapes for people who aren’t Lycra addicts but just love the childlike freedom of cycling into another world, another culture, and finding spots they wouldn’t otherwise be able to access by car or tour bus. And if you want to push those thighs a bit more, the world is crisscrossed by mountain trails, coastal routes and all-round beautiful byways for serious cycling.
Easy cycling
Don’t be put off by the ‘introductory’ word; it doesn’t mean you have to be a newbie. A better term might be ‘saunter in a saddle’ holiday, where lunch can be long, and Lycra isn’t the law. You will still be covering 25-40km a day, just mostly on flat roads through the likes of medieval Catalonian villages, Vietnamese paddy fields or boardwalks that stretch from beach to beach along the Portuguese coast.Moderate cycling
Fed up with the gym bike or spinning class, and craving the real thing in the outdoors? Then this level is probably for you. You will need a reasonable level of fitness, covering 35-50km a day, with a few challenges thrown in along the way. Such as taking on an extra island on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, or pushing yourself up Jordan’s Mount Nebo in order to enjoy a descent to the Dead Sea afterwards.
Challenging cycling
You are on your bike most weekends, you aren’t shy of a long distance excursion, and you are used to having the lightest luggage in the world, because it’s all Lycra. And you will need it on these trips, which cover 65-120km a day through stunning landscapes such as the gorges and foothills of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains or cloud forests of Costa Rica.Small group cycling
By joining a group of like-minded cyclists on one of our small group holidays, the pressure is off on the organisation front. All you have to do is cycle and we'll do the rest. Small group cycling tours cater not only for people who are happier cycling in numbers, but those who really want a shortcut to the cultural and natural highlights of a cycling destination. And our cycling tour partners know all the best local secrets to make sure you make the most of your trip.
Self guided cycling
Many of our cycling holidays are for groups, however, if you prefer to cycle independently, and at your own pace, there are superb options out there. An organised self guided cycling holiday takes all the work out of it for you, providing maps, copious notes, accommodation, luggage transfers and food. And of course, bikes. So all you have to do is cycle. Take on the Montenegro mountains or the Danube, Sweden or Sri Lanka, for independent cycling in style.The big adventure
It takes a determined and fit cyclist to take on our most adventurous cycling tours. We’re talking six weeks riding the length of New Zealand, coast to coast across Costa Rica, or riding through Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam with brilliant local guides leading the way. Naturally, these aren’t the kind of trips where you can just pop on your helmet and hit the road – but you can have confidence that our holidays are designed and organised by experts who know every bend in the road.Mountain biking
Our mountain biking holidays can be challenging, but the feeling of achievement makes those sore thighs the next day more than worth it. Also referred to as MTB, or all terrain bikes (ATB), mountain bikes are specially adapted to cope with off-road trails and rough terrain. They require endurance and usually experience, although some are aimed at beginners too. MTBers can explore mountain paths and abandoned railway lines in Montenegro, vast swathes of open steppe in Mongolia, or the dramatic Costa Vincente National Park in Portugal.
