What Is A Self-Guided Cycling Tour
A self-guided cycling tour is the ideal mix of freedom and thoughtful support. It’s designed for travelers who love the idea of discovering new places by bike, at their own pace, without the stress of planning every detail.
With a self-guided trip, you choose your travel dates, your pace, and your companions—or enjoy the journey solo. There's no fixed group to follow, and no tour guide leading the way. Just you, your bike, and the open road. Yet behind the scenes, everything is seamlessly arranged so that all you need to do is enjoy the ride.
What’s Included in a Self-Guided Cycling Holiday?
Comfortable, cycling-friendly accommodation, pre-booked along your itinerary and conveniently located each day.
Daily luggage transfers, so your bags are waiting for you when you arrive at your next stop—no need to carry anything but your day pack.
Detailed route notes and navigation, via our easy-to-use app, featuring tried-and-tested routes and handy local tips.
Emergency support hotline, available should you need assistance during your journey.
Insider recommendations, pointing you toward must-see sights, charming cafés, and hidden gems you might otherwise miss.
You have the freedom to decide when to stop, where to linger, and which views are worth an extra photo break. Whether it’s a long lunch in a sunny square or a spontaneous detour through a forest path, the adventure is yours to shape.
It’s the best of both worlds: the spirit of independent travel, combined with the ease and security of expert planning and reliable support.
Can Beginners Join a Cycling Tour?
Absolutely! You don’t need to be an experienced cyclist, just comfortable riding for a couple of hours at a relaxed pace, shifting gears, balancing, and doing basic fixes like adjusting your saddle.
To make it even easier, we offer E-bikes for extra help on hills, clear navigation tools, flexible pacing so you can stop anytime for photos or breaks.
Most of our travelers are everyday explorers looking for a fun, active holiday!
Our cycling tours are about the joy of discovery, not speed or competition. With a bit of preparation and an open mind, you’ll be more than ready for your next two-wheeled adventure.
