On your bicycle tour

• Superb tour leaders who are great fun and also bilingual, bicultural experts, and avid cyclists.  They’re experienced to help you navigate confidently on and off the road. 
• Comfortable lodging in 3-4 star hotels located in or near the town square with easy access to your favorite café (bar, gelato, espresso) of the day, always with a private bath. 
• All breakfasts & at least half of your dinners each featuring multi-courses, fresh, seasonal specialties and wine or beer (depending on the country we are in). See specific tour information for details.
• On many tours we also have 1 or 2 lunches – see specific tour itineraries for details.
•  Use of a high quality 27-30 speed bike – a road bike, hybrid, or tandem (hybrid and mountain bikes in Central & South America) geared specifically to cruise the flats and help ease you over the mountain. Our bikes come with a computer so you can track your miles.  They also have an expandable rear rack pack to carry your stuff, and a water bottle that’s yours to keep. 
• Full van support to carry luggage - and tired cyclists, too! 
• Special events like wine tastings, cultural visits and chocolatiers as described in the trip itinerary.
• All tips and gratuities at tour hotels and group meals.
• Unique routes, marked with our famous chalk dust arrows that ensure you won’t get lost.  They also give you the freedom to travel at your own pace.
• Daily mileage options – for those folks who just can't get enough cycling, we’ll suggest optional routes off our marked course.
• Detailed route map, and arrows that will lead you to hidden wonders on your bicycle ride.
• Free use of our traveling resource library while you’re on tour, so you can leave your guide books at home. 
• All the fun (and more) that you expect from your vacation.
