The New Year is just around the corner and that means there’s not long before our first 2026 trips depart! For many destinations, Spring is our favourite time of year to go on a cycling holiday but we know that will come around quickly and we don't want you to miss out. That’s why we wanted to let you know about savings on our early season group trips and self-guided tours with early-season pricing. See our Ts and Cs below for more details.

E-Bike Hire Available
This tour is well-suited to both regular bikes and pedal assist e-bikes, and you can choose to hire either when you book your tour with us. Confident cyclists will enjoy the boost from a battery for those cheeky climbs, and with less effort required on the bike, you’ll have more energy at the end of the day for off-the-bike activities. You may choose to hire an e-bike on a group or supported tour but bear in mind that the pace will be set to riders without an e-bike.
