Tour styles
The bike makes the adventure yours
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.
Classic
Get on a bike. Follow the arrows. Leave leave your cares behind.
For those who like to pedal point-to-point on paved roads and explore “classic” cycling destinations and hidden gems only the locals know.
Gravel Explorer
Feel like a kid again.
For riders seeking back roads, vistas and sites that are only accessible through a fun combination of pavement, dirt and hard packed gravel roads.
Bike & Boat
Bike on land. Sleep on water. Unpack once.
For those who want a Classic touring experience and love sleeping on water, unpacking once and exploring coastlines and quiet inland roads.
Expedition
Meet cyclists who love epic journeys.
The Expedition style was born from a passion for traversing continents with like-minded cyclists who delight in the unexpected and enjoy the long haul.
Self-guided
Select your departure date and embark on a private adventure.
Budget-friendly, unsupported touring for DIY cyclists. We plan the route, hotel and activities, provide your bike and shuttle your luggage. You do the rest. No van support.
