Bicycle touring styles

Chalk arrows. Exceptional local tour leaders. Thoughtfully designed routes. Meaningful cultural immersion. These are the hallmarks of the ExperiencePlus! “Classic” tour style and are the foundation from which our three other styles have evolved.

After all, there are as many ways to design a cycling vacation as there are different types of cyclists and travelers.

Some places you can only get to by boat, or via a quiet unpaved road. Sometimes, you need several weeks to pedal to your destination. That’s why we have four unique tour styles to choose from. Inclusions differ between tours, so click through to learn what’s included on each. And remember, no matter your style, the bicycle makes this adventure yours.
