Value... that's what you get when you take a Bicycle Adventures tour. First-class lodging and dining, top-quality bicycles, full van support, regional expertise, outstanding guides. All combined to give you a fun, active, safe, scenic, and absolutely care-free vacation.

Most of tours have a maximum of 13 guests with two tour leaders. This allows us to dine and stay in some exclusive locations. Occasionally, we will run groups up 18 or 24 people. This is rare but when we do we also double the support by adding a second van and two more tour guides, essentially running two trips simultaneously. This way we are able to continue to provide outstanding personal service.
