Classic style bike tours
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.
- Tour leaders: Our tour leaders start with an unlimited supply of energy, and mix in talent, resourcefulness, and knowledge of local history and geography. These expert interpreters will be there when you need them and have a sixth sense for knowing when to help, and when to let adventure happen naturally.
- 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.
- Meals: All breakfasts, a few lunches, and at least four dinners.
- Wine or beer with group dinners. In regions where wine is not locally produced we will offer the local specialty of non alcoholic and alcoholic varieties, i.e. in Scandinavia.
- Van Support: On tour you will have a support van providing water and snack resupply, mechanical assistance, a lift for tired cyclists, and luggage transfers.
- Bikes: Choose a high-quality, lightweight titanium hybrid or road bike, or tandem. E-bikes are also available with a surcharge. Review the options on our bikes page.
- Navigation: ExperiencePlus! chalk arrows are your primary tool for navigating on Classic tours. GPS-tracks, though not necessary, are also provided for you to download to your own device. Daily route maps will also be available.
- Terrain: Routes on Classic tours are on paved roads and paths. You’ll find specific information about the tour level, the daily terrain, mileage and elevation gain on each tour’s itinerary page.
- Daily Mileage Options: For those folks who just can’t get enough cycling, we’ll suggest optional routes off our marked course. These may not be available every day but if you know you will want to add miles you can request more before your date and we will provide them on most days.
- Local Experiences: Special events like wine tastings, cultural and artisanal visits as described in the trip itinerary.
- Tips and gratuities at tour hotels and group meals.
- Travel assistance with transportation to and from the tour, including arranging extra nights at the tour starting and/or ending hotels.
- Complimentary gift.
What’s not included:
- Transportation to and from the bicycling tour including airfare or ground transportation.
