Spring is one of the best times of year to explore some of our favourite destinations around the world. In many parts of the UK and Europe, we're treated to a spectacular bust of colour, as the lush green hills become carpeted in blooms of wildflowers. It's a similar story in Morocco, Japan and South Korea when the spring climate is also perfect for an active holiday. In fact, many of our tours avoid hot and busy summer months so we advise planning ahead and checking the booking calendars to help you decide where and when to go. These are our top picks for spring cycling but our friendly team are happy to answer any questions you might have about the best time of year to visit certain destinations.

Worth noting We run this tour from Jan through to Dec. The summer months however (generally from 01 Jul – 15 Sep) can be really busy.
