FAQs on Biking Tours in Europe

Can you travel Europe by bike?

Europe is perfect for exploring by bike! It’s a popular cycling destination thanks to its vast network of excellent on-road and off-road cycling routes, catering to a variety of preferences and skill levels. These routes cover a wide range of landscapes, from coastal paths to mountainous terrains, providing cyclists with diverse and scenic experiences. Each of our cycling tours in Europe allow you to explore charming villages, historical sites, and picturesque landscapes on two wheels.

Which country has the best cycle routes?

You can find fantastic cycling routes in many European countries, especially in places with strong cycling cultures, like the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark, all known for their well-maintained bike-friendly infrastructure. Our trip specialists have crafted incredible routes all over Europe, and no matter which destination you choose, you can pedal easy knowing you’ll be on one of the best biking tours.

What should I expect on a cycling tour?

Europe bike tours are an excellent way to discover new destinations on two wheels, immersing you in the sights, sounds, and landscapes of each place you visit. Picture yourself pedaling through picturesque landscapes, from quaint countryside scenes to charming historic towns. You’ll have the opportunity to savor local flavors, whether it’s sampling exquisite wines, indulging in regional cuisine, or enjoying the warmth of a cafe along your route. The adventure unfolds not just on the bike but also in the cultural encounters with each region. Our cycling tours are crafted to provide a perfect blend of physical activity, scenic beauty, and cultural immersion, ensuring that every turn of your bike wheel reveals a new and captivating facet of the destination.

How do I plan a European cycling tour?

Take advantage of Exodus’ over 50 years of experience in active travel by embarking on one of our small group guided cycling tours, and we’ll do all the planning for you! Our travel specialists have designed incredible itineraries throughout Europe, so all you need to do is book one and we’ll take care of all of the logistics. From route planning and accommodations to support vehicles and luggage transfers, our tours include it all.

What should I bring on a cycling tour?

Check your tour’s trip notes for a complete packing list specific to your tour to Europe and destination, but some basics include padded cycling shorts, cycling gloves, sturdy cycling shoes, and a compact close-fitting bag or fanny pack. Feel free to also pack your own gear, such as SPD or clipless pedals, your preferred saddle (excluding the seat post), or a gel saddle cover.

High-quality, locally rented bikes are provided on all Exodus cycling trips, with only a few exceptions. The bike type (hybrid or mountain) is tailored to the trip’s nature, and you can find detailed information about your ride in each trip’s essential info.

How do I prepare for a cycling trip?

Leading up to your departure, training on a bike is essential! You’ll want to increase your endurance and comfort level while getting your body used to the physical demands of long rides. Pay attention to the activity level rating of your trip for guidance on the intensity of the rides, and check our fitness guides for more advice on how to prepare physically for your adventure.

I was a bit anxious at the beginning, but our guide João was incredible—he made us feel confident, safe, and motivated throughout. The group was wonderful, and the organisation by João and Tony was exceptional. I loved everything about the experience—even the long, challenging hills with strong headwinds! I couldn’t have done it without an e-bike and such a great leader. Thank you so much for an unforgettable adventure!

We arrived in Columbo to rain to be met by our smiling guide for the trip who introduced himself as Suresh. From there on, everyday was different, due to the time of year the weather was a little chilly in the hills but improved greatly as we descended to the lower levels. Suresh was amazing and everyday, he showed us something different and made sure our holiday experience was amazing. Suresh’s ability to spot wildlife on our cycling trips was unbelievable, almost as if he had planted the wildlife!!. I have taken some amazing photographs from the holiday and Suresh has provided us with his amazing photographs also. Suresh always seemed to go out of his way to make our holiday experience better and better, he is a star. The whole team was incredible, nothing was too much trouble and they were always looking out for our best interests, including keeping us safe. Best Exodus cycling trip yet, amazing wildlife, amazing Sri Lankan experiences, amazing leader, amazing team.
