Biking Tours

Our small group biking tours are a great way to explore a destination under your own steam.Biking through breathtaking landscapes and communities gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the local culture. With an average group size of 11, you'll get to enjoy the ride with other like-minded cyclists. And you'll have a tour leader to lead your group and share their expert local knowledge.

Trips have a biking grade from Easy (typically flat, leisurely rides) to Challenging (which hillier and longer routes). Most of our tours are graded from Easy to Moderate, but for keener bikers, we do also offer some Challenging tours.
