You can choose your tour based on the tour type

One of the main advantages is that you can decide your own start date.

In Ireland you can start any day of the week, however there are some limitations on the days you can start on some of our other European destinations.

Generally the tours are week long and cover approximately 45 - 60km per day, but there is great flexibility on these tours to adapt them to specific requirements. We organise your accommodation, bike hire and your luggage transfers each day. You are given route details and a map to assist you following the tour and all tours include an emergency phone number you can call if you need help.

Sportive Tours

Sportive tours can be organised in a group or self-guided format. These tours are not races but they do require training and preparation to complete.

The challenge can come from the terrain in the form of hills or from the distance (80km+) or from the combination of both of these. You can push yourself as hard as you want or take your time.

The thrill comes from the combination of a fantastic sense of achievement and the journey through wonderful scenery.

he main advantage is without doubt, that your room travels with you!

Every day you visit a new location but you never need to pack up your bag.

In Croatia travelling by boat gives you a unique opportunity to visit various islands otherwise difficult to get to. The types of boats vary and are reflective of the area you are in.

In Holland you are of course, in a comfortable barge.

In Austria, a cruise ship takes you along the Danube including a pool on the sun deck!

For the islands of Croatia and Greece you are in sailing boats designed for open waters.

We have been running private group and self-guided walking tours for many years.

They are run in a very similar way to our cycling tours, without the bike and with lower mileage! We offer a number of self-guided tours in Ireland and in a number of other European locations.
