Expert‑Led Biking Adventures, Perfected Over 50 Years
One world, two wheels – our biking tours immerse you in a destination through the knowledge and insight of our expert local guides.
Whether you prefer a leisurely ride or want to test yourself, we have adventures for every level of rider. Each tour is graded to help you find the right fit, with details on difficulty, terrain, vehicle support and the balance of on and off-road riding clearly outlined in every itinerary.
Ride through the rolling vineyards and hilltop villages of Italy, pedal Vietnam to discover vibrant culture and unforgettable cuisine, or follow sun-kissed coastal trails in Portugal. In Sri Lanka, bike between ancient temples, lush tea plantations and wildlife-rich national parks for an adventure that goes far beyond the guidebook.
Along the way, our guides know when to pause for the view, where to find the best local flavours and how to reveal hidden places most travellers miss. With immersive cultural experiences and the freedom of exploring on two wheels, there’s no better way to see the world.

My cycling tour of Sicily was absolutely fantastic! The landscapes and seascapes were breathtaking, the food and wine were delicious, and the hotels offered a comfortable retreat after long days of cycling. The guide, Mattia, and support van guide, Sebastiano, were exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and consistently attentive to our safety on the roads and in every city and town we visited. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to discover Sicily. Although my first cycling tour was challenging, it was a tremendous success and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!
Travelled as a single and managed to twist my knee before the actual cycling trip started. Not a good start. But the e-bike I’d ordered was great, and it was just a matter of hitting the battery harder than usual. The rest of the group was lovely and Alan Skulic the group leader was very patient and understanding – even carried my suitcase up 3 flights of stairs in Dubrovnik! Adrian our driver was equally patient and helpful. Croatia is stunning and the routes were varied and enjoyable. Some didn’t enjoy the gravel part; I’m used to gravel so I loved it. Some lovely downhills and the long climb on the first day was especially enjoyable. Prekrasno – the Croatian word for stunning. Easily remembered: break-crash-no.
This is a very enjoyable cycling trip. Don’t be put off by the ‘moderate to challenging’ label – to us it didn’t seem more strenuous than the ‘moderate’ trips we’d done before and, if you’re on e-bikes as we were, you have extra power if you need it and can still get good exercise!
The routes were interesting and enjoyable. We had good weather. It was still quite warm. We enjoyed the ferry journeys to and from the islands. The e-bikes were good and the front paniers helpful. The old towns of Hvar and Korcula are lovely and of course Dubrovnik is special.
The three hotels were fine and their breakfasts exceeded our expectations for continental hotels. We ‘upgraded’ in two of them and had a family suite one and a sea view balcony in the other.
