Choosing the best bike tour companies: 15 things you should always check

Are you planning a road cycling holiday and want some support? Sifting through the best bike tour companies and feeling overwhelmed by the choice? We’re here to help.

There are lots of reasons for wanting to go with a tour company rather than DIY it (but if you’re still undecided, check out our tips here ). Perhaps it’s your first time cycling abroad or you’re inspired by the Tour de France climbs but want a bit of back-up in place should your bike (or legs!) give up part way through.

Once you’ve decided an organised cycling holiday/small group tour is the way to go, choosing the best bicycle tour company for your needs is imperative. Yet with so many companies out there, it can also be quite difficult!

With that in mind, in this article we share the most important things to think about when choosing a road bike tour company to holiday with.

1. The basics – Where do you want to go and how much will it cost?

Different cycling tour companies cover different parts of the world and so the first thing to think about is where exactly you want to go. Do you fancy the challenging climbs of the Alps and the accompanying reward of stunning mountain views? Or perhaps you’d prefer a more reliably sunny climate like Spain where you can spend a bit of time relaxing on the beach too?

Your first step should be to choose a destination, or at least narrow if down to the type of destination you fancy exploring on your bike.

For inspiration, take a look at all the cycling destinations we’ve written about, here , or our article on the best cycling destinations in Europe and the best cycling weekend destinations in Europe may be useful.

Once you’ve decided where, compare some different tours. Think about the price (and what’s included/excluded for that) and deposit. Also consider the cancellation, policy and any single supplements.

2. What kind of cycling holiday do you want?

There’s a bike holiday to suit every cyclist, from gran fondo and cyclo sportive events to relaxed cycling tours with an emphasis on sightseeing.

You’ll need to decide how long you want to spend in the saddle and how long you want to spend exploring the history, culture and gastronomy of the places you visit to find the best type of road bike holiday for you.

Think about your own fitness level and the distances you want to cover each day. Whilst a tour that includes 150 km and several big climbs each day might sound fantastic on paper, if you’re not fit enough for it, you’ll soon come to regret your decision! Don’t just focus on distance each day, the elevation profiles are extremely important. Companies use terms like “beginner”, “leisure”, “advanced” and “avid” and each company has a slightly different ranking system, so if you’re worried dig for more detail!

3. How many days riding to you want?

Guided bike tours range from weekend trips to tours covering two weeks or more. Whilst some tours cover less than 50km of flat ground per day, more challenging tours might cover more like 100 miles a day and much more hilly terrain.

Pay close attention to the number of actual riding days your tour operator is offering. For example, it may be advertised as a six day trip but days one and two are more than likely going to be spent arriving and departing. Will there be a rest day in the middle? How many days actual biking will there be?

Talking of rest days, we all know they’re important to give our bodies a chance to recover. But depending on the length of the trip, your objectives and the number of riding days you’re looking for, you might want to delve into the detail of the rest days. Are there enough? Are there too many?! (In which case, check whether there’s an option to still ride on the rest day if you want to). Do they seem sensibly spaced out?

4. Are the reviews positive?

Checking out supported bike tour reviews should be a vital step before you commit to booking any cycling holiday. A great site to use is Stridetravel, which has collated a whole host of reviews from fellow cyclists who have scored the popular road cycling holiday companies on value, guides, activities, lodging, transportation and meals.

It’s worth also checking TripAdvisor, Trust Pilot and Google reviews to make sure that other cyclists recommend the tour and haven’t been left disappointed for any reason.

You may well get a good sense of how clients have been treated during the Covid-19 pandemic. Reviews may mention how tour operators have behaved and what their policies have been on returning monies paid for trips that could not go ahead.

5. The best bike tour companies will be super helpful – is yours?

A good road bike tour company should be available and willing to answer all your questions before you book. If you have to wait for days after sending an email enquiry, or they never answer the phone/return your calls, you should probably look for an alternative company.

If you have particular cycling tour in mind, ask the tour company how many years the trip has run for, so that you can be sure that they are experienced in that particular destination and the trip is well-planned out. Do you really want to be guinea pig?!

You could also see if there’s an  Epic Road Rides guide to the destination and swot up on any particular must-do rides. If the tour company is good at their job, they’ll be able to engage with you in a sensible and knowledgeable conversation about those rides.

6. Are they legit?!

This might sound boring, but in fact it’s a really important point: does the business you’re entrusting your holiday to comply with all the proper rules and regulations?

Do they have a right to run tours in the country they’re operating in? For example, if you’re using a British-based business to go on a holiday in a European country, there is a whole heap of new regulation they have to comply with. If they’re not fully complying, it could affect your holiday (for example if they don’t have the right visa and work permit, your British tour guide might be refused entry at the border).

Do they have liability insurance?

Are they bonded (e.g. via ABTA) or do they have financial failure insurance?

Do they train their guides in guiding, customer service and first aid?

These might be the kind of things you assume every business does/complies with, but it’s surprising how many stories we hear of cycling tour operators that aren’t playing it entirely straight.

Motto of the story: if you’re not sure, ask!

7. Will the bike tour guide be any good?

In our experience, a good tour guide is a vital cog in the workings of a successful cycle holiday. Ideally, you’ll want a guide who speaks English as well as the local language of the country you’re exploring and has a good local knowledge to teach you about the culture and traditions of your destination.

Ask the bike tour company who the guide will be. Whilst some companies have their own in-house guides, others sub-contract these roles so may be less aware of what the guide is like and whether they’re properly trained and experienced.

You could ask the company whether it trains its guides and/or requires they have any formal qualifications in guiding and first aid.

It’s important to make sure that the bike tour company is willing to answer any questions you have about your tour guide and is confident in their abilities. If you’re particularly experienced, you might also want to check with the company regarding the guide’s skill and fitness level, to check they’re up to the task of keeping up with you! You could even ask for references for some extra reassurance.

The best bike tour companies will have excellent guides

8. Who will be in the group?

Think about the demographics of your group and try to book a tour with like-minded cyclists if you can.

If you’re a solo traveller, you might prefer to book a specialist singles cycling holiday. A group bike tour for solo cyclists can be particularly good in the evenings, as others will be less likely to go off and do their own thing leaving you on your own!

There are women-only cycling holidays if that’s your thing, or some tours might be more popular with couples or families.

9. How big is the group?

You should check what the guide-to-guest ratio is for your bicycle tour. With six guests per guide, you can be confident of getting all the attention you need. Any more than fifteen guests makes it virtually impossible for the guide to keep track of you all, and you’ll likely end up on a self-guided trip, which can be a very frustrating experience.

Smaller groups are generally better as you’ll enjoy a more tailored adventure. It may also allow the option to choose whether you want to do longer or shorter days/extra diversions depending on how you’re all feeling.

As well as the guide-to-guest ratio, check up on the number of other support crew – will there be a broom wagon at the back of the group? Will there be a mechanic and someone experienced in first aid (more on this below)?

10. How much roadside support will there be?

For complete peace of mind, look for bicycle tour companies that offer full roadside support with a fully-equipped back-up vehicle. A support vehicle offers the reassurance that, should you seize up and not be able to make it all the way, you and your bike always have a way to get back to the hotel. It’s also a handy place to keep your extra clothing, leg and arm warmers, sun cream, cameras and any other paraphernalia. And, of course, lots of snacks!

The best support car drivers are qualified first-aiders and also competent bike mechanics (or there are additional staff with these kills).

Whilst you’ll probably have no problem with simple tasks like mending a puncture on your own, having a dedicated bike mechanic in the support car can be a godsend should something more serious happen to your bike and you need some mechanical assistance.

11. What will the food and accommodation be like?

Is a luxury hotel important to you, or would you be more comfortable in cheap and cheerful lodgings? Don’t waste money on cycling holiday with luxury accommodation if you’d be just as happy in a clean but basic room.

If you have any special dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free, be sure to check that these can be catered for, both in the hotel and with the roadside food options. In some countries, even seemingly easy dietary requirements like being a vegetarian, might not be a foregone conclusion!

On a cycling holiday, you’ll burn through a lot of calories while riding. Check whether the tour includes roadside snacks or whether you’re expected to provide them yourself.

12. What are the extra costs?

When deciding on the best cycling tour companies, you should work out what’s included in the fee you pay upfront, and what’s an extra cost. The cheapest cycling holidays might not offer the best value if you’re expected to pay for extras such as bike hire, entry into attractions, tips and food/drinks.

Most cycling holidays are priced without flights and transfers so you’ll need to factor those costs in. If you’re taking your bike too, rather than hiring, remember to add on any extra baggage charges and extra transfer costs.

European cycling holidays will obviously be cheaper than tours of far-flung destinations in South Africa, Asia, New Zealand or North America. However, even within Europe there can be huge differences in the cost of flights ( this is a useful article with loads of tips on how to find cheap flights ). It’s important to look up the cost of flights from your local airport when working out the total cost of various cycling holidays and deciding which offers the best value.

13. Is the tour guaranteed to go ahead?

Each bike tour will need a minimum number of cyclist to go ahead. If you book a tour which isn’t yet guaranteed, there’s a chance that it will be cancelled if not enough cyclists join the trip. To avoid this, you could look for tours with ‘guaranteed departures’, which have already reached the minimum numbers.

It’s not recommended to book your flights/travel for a cycling trip which isn’t yet guaranteed, as you may lose money if it’s cancelled and you have to change your flights. Flights are often cheaper the further in advance you can book them, so a cycling tour which has guaranteed numbers even several months before departure is a solid bet.

If, for whatever reason, you end up needing to book travel etc around an unconfirmed trip,  check your travel insurance to ensure you’re covered if the trip doesn’t go ahead. Otherwise, be prepared to take the risk!

14. Are there any alternatives?

This article has focused on traditional cycling tour companies, the kind that offer guided and/or self-guided trips and as a minimum are happy to arrange your accommodation, luggage transfer, routes as well as provide back-up in case of emergency.  

However, this does come with a price tag. For those looking for a more cost-effective alternative, there are other solutions.  

Organising your own holiday is the obvious way to reduce the cost of a trip. You’re on your own, but that might appeal! (And of course our site has tons of information to try and help anyone wanting to arrange their own trip.)

Stay at a cycle-friendly hotel

Cycle-friendly hotels often offer a myriad of services in addition to somewhere to rest your head. Of course, it depends on the hotel, but pick the right one and you should find someone who can help you arrange things like bike hire, guiding and mechanical support.

We’ve tried to take the hard work out of this – head to our accommodation page to find our picks of the best places to stay in various destinations.

“Guide only”  

Another alternative is to go “guide only”. “Guide only” is a term we use for what tends to be an independent guide offering a no-frills service to cyclists that want a day or two of riding with someone who’s there to show them the way and keep them company. It’s a bit like riding with a (paid!) friend.  

The details of what “guide only” means in practice varies from guide to guide.  

  • You shouldn’t assume they have things like an official business operator license, training or insurance; in our experience, they normally won’t.  
  • Usually, the guide will provide you with a route and ride with you, but any extras on top of that will be on a case-by-case basis.  
  • If you want to make sure they offer a particular service or have particular expertise or qualifications, check with them before you book.  

While the unregulated nature of these kinds of informal guides may be a deal-breaker for some cyclists, there are positives:  

  • Low overheads mean they tend to offer an attractive price.   
  • These kind of guides tend to be local cyclists living in the area – and so they should know the rides well and be able to share lots of local knowledge with you.
  • For many offering this kind of informal, independent guiding, it is an additional source of income alongside their day job. As a result, they are usually pretty flexible on dates and the number of days guiding they offer.  

These kinds of guide reach out to us quite frequently. We probably won’t have tried their services ourselves, but if we know someone in the location you want to visit, we’re happy to put you in touch so you can ask your questions direct to them and decide if they’re for you. Drop us a line if you would like us to put you in touch with someone on a “guide only” basis.  

15. Are they eco-friendly?

Given the importance of climate change, arguably this should be number 1 on your list! If it’s something you care about, you should definitely look into this. Don’t assume all cycling holidays are eco-friendly holidays – they’re not. We’ve written a whole article on how to have an eco-friendly cycling trip, here.

Holiday memories and bikes on a holiday week.

Do you ever feel like today’s conversation is dominated by code phrases?  Who knew, at the beginning of 2020, that terms like ‘Social Distancing’ and ‘Flattening the Curve’ would be commonplace in our daily lexicon?  In 2019, I would have thought that meant biking a safe distance away from everyone else to avoid a crash, or somehow making biking up that huge hill not as hard to tackle!

Find Your Grand Adventure with a 2024 Guided Tour 

2024 guided tours are filling up. find your adventure today.

With an Adventure Cycling Guided Tour, you can count on five things: 

  • Curated experiences traversing the histories, cultures, and landscapes of the U.S. 
  • A tour type to fit your travel style 
  • Small groups of 10-15 participants, except for our larger Fully Supported Events 
  • A fully planned trip, without the worry of routing, navigation, or reservations, from an experienced organization 
  • Warm fuzzies knowing your Guided Tour purchase supports a nonprofit and its mission, not a for-profit company 

We’re excited to hit the road with you! 

Our goal is to facilitate a life-changing journey with a Guided Tour that fits your needs. Our Guided Tours provide a range of experiences: long weekend to epic, pavement to dirt, historically focused to earning the scenic vistas. They also come in a variety of lengths and difficulties as well as different levels of support and price points. We offer everything from self-sufficient nights under the stars to fully catered experiences and inn-to-inn options.  

Every tour comes with knowledgeable Tour Leaders, routing, navigation, and reservations. All you have to do is participate! Some tours provide opportunities to get to know your fellow riders better, such as group-made meals and grocery shopping, while other types of tours are less interactive. Participation in these small group activities on some tour types is all part of the Adventure Cycling experience.

“Without a doubt, the best part of the tour was the friendships we made. We came from all levels of experience. Everyone was supportive. Every single day, no matter what the difficulty of the day, we laughed.” – Sam, Tour Participant

Types of Tours

We have a variety of tour formats that suit different styles of touring. All come in different lengths and levels of difficulty, which we call Adventure Levels, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5. Generally, our tours have between 10 and 15 participants, with the exception being our larger Fully Supported Events.

Self-Contained This type of touring is all pedal power and no vehicular support. All shared gear is carried by the group, and cooking responsibilities rotate among its members. A majority of nights are spent outdoors under the stars. An indoor stay or restaurant may be sprinkled in just when you need it the most.

Inn-to-Inn This is the type of tour for those of us who prefer the comforts of a cozy bed. As the name suggests, each night is spent indoors. Breakfasts and dinners are enjoyed in restaurants. Although there is no vehicle support, you’ll only need to carry the minimal gear of your clothes, toiletries, basic repair items, water, and a bag lunch for the day.

Van-Supported If you prefer touring without the load of a full set of panniers, but you still love camping, we have a van and trailer to haul your gear. Just worry about pedaling. Carry nothing more than water/lunch/snacks and maybe some rain gear if the weather’s dodgy. You’ll still have fun with your partner rotating on camp cooking duty. But not to worry, on certain tours, there are occasional restaurant meals and indoor stays.

Fully Supported and Family Adventure  Events The top level of support! Meals are catered. Luggage is hauled. Starry night camping for those into tents and motel options for those who aren’t. Water and snack stops along the route. Just enjoy the riding, the scenery, and the people to your front and back. These tours are larger in size (20–50 participants) and staffed by several tour leaders all looking out for you.

Education Not sure you’re ready to take the leap into full-on independent touring? Our Intro to Road and Intro to Gravel Touring & Bikepacking courses help you break down the basics. There’s some in-person classroom work before setting out as a group on a short self contained tour. We also offer Leadership Training Courses for those experienced in bike touring but want to start leading their own groups.

“This was my first organized multiday trip. I was traveling solo and I had a wonderful time. I could set my own pace and never felt rushed. The food was fantastic and there was lots of it! I can’t say enough good things about the leaders. I will definitely sign up for another one.” – Kelly, Tour Participant

Doing Good with Every Pedal Stroke 

Adventure Cycling is a nonprofit. Every Guided Tour purchase supports our mission of inspiring, empowering, and connecting people to travel by bicycle. 

For nearly 50 years, we’ve been researching and mapping one of the largest bicycle route systems in the world. And we’re not done yet. Our programs focus on making bicycle travel more accessible to more people through mapping short and long routes, hosting educational resources and events, and creating an open, supportive community for all riders.

All of our tours are listed below. If you have any questions, give us a call or reach out through our online chat. We’re here for you — because Your Adventure Awaits!

Testimonials

“ I’ve done a number of tours with Adventure Cycling and loved them all, but this was the best group I’ve been with. The people on this trip were just plain fun. I loved everywhere we got to see.”  — Jeff, Tour Participant “ I love the little towns, particularly Patagonia. Tombstone was interesting but did not get to see much of it. Bisbee is a fascinating and historic community. The roads were generally fine and not too busy. The terrain was sufficiently challenging, but not intimidating for this early season rider who was not in top shape.”  — Stephanie, Tour Participant

Nestled along the shimmering Adriatic Sea lies a hidden gem that captures the hearts of all who coast along its shores—Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula. From picturesque seaside villages to rugged cliffs adorned with olive groves and ancient Roman ruins, this region embodies the essence of Mediterranean beauty.⁠ ⁠ Did you know? Historically, Croatia was caught among the maritime empire of Venice, the landlocked Austro-Hungarian empire, and the Ottoman Empire, which spanned both land and sea. As a result, the region’s cultural heritage bears the fruits of all three of these cultures.⁠ ⁠ But what truly makes Istria special? The people. With their warm hospitality and rich cultural heritage, the locals of Istria welcome you, inviting you to partake in age-old traditions and savor the flavors of their land.⁠ ⁠ Stroll through the cobblestone streets of Rovinj, savor freshly caught seafood in Pula, or indulge in world-class truffles from the region’s forests, each encounter with the people of Istria leaves an indelible mark on your soul.⁠ ⁠ Discover this gem on our “Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula” tour!⁠ Join us with shoulder season dates including May 25, September 7 or 28. ⁠ #CycleAndSavor #CulturalCycling #GourmetPedals #TourDeFlavor #BikeAndBiteAdventures #CulinaryCycles #TasteOnTwoWheels #RollAndRelish #CyclingCuisine #EpicureanEscapes #GlobetrotterCycles #TrekAndTaste #CulinaryJourneys #PedalToPlate #CulturalCyclist #TastingTrails #WanderWheelers #AdriaticMagic #Istria #Croatia

🍦🇮🇹 The great gelato debate continues: where in Italy have you tasted the MOST heavenly gelato? One of our favorite stops in Southern Italy is Arte Fredda in Alberobello. At Arte Fredda, only the freshest ingredients are used, such as the renowned Bronte pistachios from Sicily, or the almonds from the groves along quiet country roads. But it’s not just the ingredients that make this a top gelateria, imagine fruits filled with gelato, cakes painted by hand, and wine sorbets. This isn’t just gelato, it’s a culinary creation. With flavors as exotic as mango, prickly pear and mulberry, there is bound to be a flavor that pleases everyone.

What a fantastic start to the week! Thank you to first-time Alumna, Suzie M. for sharing her incredible feedback about our Bike Across Southern Italy tour! "It was the absolute best trip I’ve ever been on. The riding was challenging, beautiful, and quiet. The hotels were centrally located, unique, and luxurious. The cultural tours were perfectly arranged after our ride, before dinner, and private. Meals and wine pairings were not only delicious, but educational. The guides were so much fun. Warm, friendly, supportive, and super attentive. By the end of the 11 night journey, I felt that I had made new friends/family. It was a superb trip! Can’t wait to hit Corsica/Sardinia in May!" #biketour #adventuretravel #activetravel #luxurytravel

This weekend, let a sip of limoncello transport you to the sun-soaked south of Italy. Italians relish this bright, sweet, and tart liqueur as an aperitif or after-dinner treat.

The origins of limoncello might be debated, but we have the inside scoop on the ideal spots to savor it during our Taste of Amalfi Bike Tour!
