Guests wishing to have a private room will be subject to a Single Supplement, which varies by tour and can be found on each tour’s page.

No price adjustments are made for late arrivals, early departures, or for participants who do not bike (“non-riders”).

Our tours are priced for double occupancy. A Single Supplement applies for a private room. If you're traveling solo and prefer a roommate, let us know, and we'll try to pair you with another solo traveler to waive the supplement.

We provide carefully chosen accommodations, delicious local food spot, great roads, and top-quality bikes and gear, so you can focus on the fun stuff. We also cover entrance fees for all planned tours, hikes, and other scheduled activities during our tour for all cyclist and for non-riders. Alcoholic beverages are not included with set meals, except for the welcome and farewell dinners. However, they will be included on any tours where wine or similar beverages are part of the experience.

Most of our trips are guaranteed to run when a minimum of 2-4 people are booked. No additional supplement is required if this minimum number of guests is met.

Every ride we plan revolves around local food, fun, culture, and adventure. Whether you prefer to stop and enjoy the scenery or ride hard, we ensure everyone’s needs are met. Each day, you’ll be supported by at least two guides on the road riding at two different paces and another in the support van, offering mechanical assistance and a lift when needed. Our routes also include options for both longer and shorter rides. Dedicated cyclists can take on extra miles, while those tackling more challenging routes can always count on our support van for assistance.

We also offer e-bikes, providing extra pedal power to help you cover longer distances, complete steeper climbs, and maintain a faster pace—perfect for riding with others who cycle at different levels.

When booking a tour, we recommend discussing dietary restrictions with your assigned Tour Coordinator to gather detailed information about your dietary preferences and alert your guides in advance.

Travelers with companions who prefer not to cycle can still experience the journey in our Farm to Fork Style. We offer daily curated itineraries for non-riders, allowing them to explore the region through activities like historic walks, car tours, hikes, cultural discoveries, or simply relaxing at hotel pools and spas. Whenever possible, non-riders will have the opportunity to join riders for the post-morning-ride lunch. Additional afternoon experiences for both non-riders and riders who wish to cycle in the morning and explore on foot in the afternoon are available almost daily. You will be asked to select the "Non-Rider Option" when registering non-riders for the tour.

The price of our tours covers accommodations, meals, wine, and many off-bike activities, so the price per person is the same for both riders and non-riders.

• Road or Gravel. Bikes are included on tour. Guests are asked to choose between a hybrid or road bike, with electric bikes available for an additional fee. To ensure bike availability, guests must submit their bike measurements at the time of registration, no later than 30 days before departure. Requests made within 30 days of departure will be subject to availability and may not be guaranteed. Changes to bike selections made within 21 days of departure will incur a late change fee. Guests who bring their own bike will receive a credit off the cost of the tour.

• Electric Assist: E-bikes are available on all our tours, e-bikes give you extra support to help you ride farther, climb steeper hills, and keep a faster pace. It’s a great choice if you're cycling with others who ride at different speeds, travel the entire distance or if you want to explore more challenging routes. This as available at as with a small additional charge for the week.

We prepare cycling days to include everyone.  That is, our itineraries cater to all levels of riders, from beginners to experienced cyclists.

Each day on tour, we offer both longer and shorter ride options. If you're an avid cyclist on a more relaxed tour day, our guides are happy to extend the ride with extra miles following the lunch stop.
