Chalk arrows lead the way
Our Classic tours are defined by over a half-century of expertise creating unforgettable cycling vacations. If your dream is to truly travel through a region by bike, then our Classic style bike tours are for you! Our unique chalk arrows lead the way as you explore small villages and world-class cities while traveling at your own pace. Our local tour leaders are with you along the way to support your ride and bring a deeper understanding to the area’s history, traditions and culture.
The following inclusions are specific to Classic Tours.
- Lodging: On Classic tours, you will enjoy a mix of lodging styles that showcase mom and pop hospitality with modern amenities. We look for locally-owned accommodations that give you a feel for regional history and culture. Location is key and you’ll stay near interesting sites in the center of town or in picturesque rural settings.
