Where appropriate, we grade our holidays based on distance, terrain, elevation gain, remoteness, etc and categorise them into 4 relative groups. This is ultimately subjective and may vary slightly day to day; for more advice, please see the specific trip page or call one of our friendly team.
There are many fantastic cycling holiday destinations across the world, each offering something different for those who love exploring on two wheels. We've carefully created a range of options in what we believe are some of the best countries for cycling holidays, including Spain, Italy, France and Greece.
The right destination for you will depend on a variety of factors, including how difficult you'd like the route to be and the time of year you want to travel.
If you want to head on holiday in spring, you'll be happy to hear there are plenty of fantastic places to cycle! You could get a taste of the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle by heading to the heel of Italy in March, April or May.
Another great place to explore during spring is Mallorca, where you'll find a mix of inland and coastal trails. Our coast-to-coast holiday gives you the opportunity to see the best of the island solo, from the stunning beaches to the mountain ranges.
There are many picturesque places to pedal during the summer months. You could visit Italy to experience the dramatic scenery of the Dolomites in the north or head west to see the unspoilt Costa Smeralda in Sardinia.
France is another picture-perfect summer destination, with cycling holidays available in Provence, Dordogne, Champagne and the Loire Valley. We also offer trips to Germany, Portugal, Spain, Austria and more, so you're really spoilt for choice!
If you're keen on an autumnal adventure, there are many countries you can explore on two wheels. Why not head to Spain to explore Andalucia? This exhilarating trip will take you through the countryside from Seville to Cadiz, trying tapas and Flamenco dancing between rides.
Or you could enjoy a self-guided cycle in The Azores – a region of Portugal that sits in the mid-Atlantic. It's a nature lover's dream, with tall mountain peaks, lake-filled calderas, lush green vegetation and bright-blue waters.
Our winter sun cycling holidays are perfect for those wanting to get away in the colder months of the year. You could head to the unspoilt western Algarve in Portugal, which is a quieter area away from the typical tourist hotspots. You can expect weather similar to spring in the UK – ideal conditions for cycling.
Want to go further afield? Why not head to the spectacular South Africa? This winter sun cycling holiday takes you through beautiful vineyards, mountain passes and along coastal trails. It's also a great time to explore Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia with us.
Yes, we do! Bike hire is included in your holiday. Depending on your chosen destination, you may be able to hire an e-bike or tandem for your trip.
All our bikes are cleaned and maintained by our overseas agents so you can be confident that you're in safe hands. If anything does go wrong, they'll come out to your hotel to fix it. The bikes used on our cycling holidays have: Straight handlebars, mudguards, pannier rack & panniers, gel saddles, puncture repair kit & tyre levers, a pump, a lock and a phone holder.
You may be able to bring additional items with rep supervision, such as pedals (with or without toe clips), water bottle cages, child seats and saddles. We will fit them as long as they're safe and compatible with our bikes. Check our FAQs page for more information or get in touch with us.
We offer a range of trips to suit different abilities, so you don't have to be at a Tour de France level to enjoy a cycling getaway!
To help you find the right holiday for you, we provide an activity level grading. This gives you an idea of the fitness level and experience required for each of our action-packed trips.
For instance, a level 1 holiday will be suitable for first-timers, families or those who rarely cycle, because they typically follow gentle routes. Level 2 and 3 routes are more varied and will appeal to more active cyclists. Any holidays that are graded a level 4 are our most challenging and require a high level of fitness and experience on the saddle.
Yes, we offer both self-guided and guided group holidays, so you can choose a trip that best suits you.
Our self-guided cycling holidays are ideal for those who want to set off solo using our carefully crafted itinerary. We'll provide your route each day, which you can follow using our handy Navigation App on your smartphone. One of the benefits of our self-guided trips is that you have the flexibility to go at your own pace, stopping for longer stints in certain places if you wish.
Our guided cycling holidays are the perfect choice for those who want to be led by one of our experts. Most trips also have vehicle support, giving you peace of mind that there's help if you need it. If you choose a guided trip, you'll be in a small group of like-minded travellers all keen to explore on two wheels.
Yes! Meticulous turn-by-turn directions are available in our Navigation App for most cycling holidays. This includes audio prompts for the ultimate convenience while in the saddle.
The GPS will give you detailed instructions for each day of your trip. All you need to do is pop your smartphone in the mounted holder, put your feet on the pedals and enjoy your cycling holiday – no extra maps required!
It's really easy to use and you'll even get interactive 'point of interest' information, so you don’t miss any of the sights as you cycle.
If you'll be staying in different hotels during your travels, you don't need to worry about transporting your luggage. You can set off and enjoy a great day of riding safe in the knowledge that we'll whisk your bags to your next hotel. This means you can cycle at your own pace without being weighed down by bags.
You'll need to bring plenty of activewear for your cycling holiday, including moisture-wicking layers, jerseys, socks, waterproofs and sunglasses. It's worth packing some bib shorts or padded shorts to keep you comfortable throughout the trip (but they aren't a necessity). You should also pack a water bottle to stay hydrated during your rides.
It's also important that you bring your own helmet and wear it for the duration of your rides. It's a legal requirement to wear a helmet in Portugal and Spain, and for children under 16 in Italy.
Since 1985, we've been creating exceptional holidays that allow you to enjoy the best of your chosen destination. Here are some key reasons you should book your cycling holiday with us:
