Discover the World on a Bicycle Tour

Welcome to the 2010 bicycling Season!

Bicycling is one of the best ways to explore the world.  We know because we’ve been bicycle touring the globe since 1972. ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours is a family owned company that offers bike trips in over twenty countries.  We started bicycling in Europe over 30 years ago and since then have helped bicyclists and curious travelers discover bicycle touring throughout the world.

Our bicycle trips in France and Italy, our "home-away-from-home," are our most popular but we’ve expanded our bike tours to include itineraries in  Spain, Greece, Costa Rica, Croatia, Chile,  Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, and the U.S. Come discover Europe and South America on one of our bicycle trips and we promise you'll feel like you've really been somewhere when you get home.

Using our signature "chalk arrow" navigation system, you’ll bicycle on quiet country roads. You’ll stay in small, family-run inns in the heart of town. From Tuscany to Provence, from Istanbul to the Chilean Central Valley and wine country, come and experience local village life firsthand.

If you love bicycling or simply being active, fabulous food, laughter, and the thought of traveling with some of the most fascinating people on the planet, ExperiencePlus! is your gateway to a lifetime of discovery.

So come on in to our website and explore a little, then send us an email or give us a call the old-fashioned way. We’d love to get acquainted and help you choose your next adventure.

Discover Northern Argentina

A Tour Leader's Perspective

Tour Leader, Javier Lardone took a few minutes to tell us what he loves about our Discover Northern Argentina bicycle tour, a great biycle tour that explores the northwest of Argentina.

The scenery is amazing, from the moon-like Andean highlands, known as the puna, to the multicolored palette and amazing rock formations of the canyons, or quebradas, below. From the rainforest-like jungles and cloud forests to the huge green valleys dotted with estancias, where the land is still worked  by small farmers, and the gaucho still tends to the estancias` herds.

Safe Cycling is Smart Cycling by Rick Price

ExperiencePlus! founder, Rick Price is now Safe Cycling Coordinator for the Bike Co-op in Fort Collins, Colorado where he also writes monthly column on Smart Cycling for the Fort Collins, Coloradoan. Rick is also a certified "League Cycling Instructor," with the League of American Bicyclists so who better to share tips for safe cycling.

As a bicyclist you should assume even more responsibility as a defensive “driver” than when you are in a motor vehicle.  Defensive “drivers” should commit no driving mistakes and even more importantly, they should adjust their behavior on the road to compensate for the potential errors of others.

Customer Interview

An Interview With Customer Leslie Mussetter.

Leslie and her husband, Bob live in Fort Collins, where ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours is based, and have done numerous bicycling and hiking trips throughout the world.

How did you get started bicycling? We got serious about it when I got an ExperiencePlus! brochure at a 5K run on New Year's Eve several years ago and I decided we should do the Classical Greece: Athens to Olympia trip.  Since I was still riding my vintage college "10-speed", I had to buy a new bike so I could re-learn how to ride!
