Why we love Cycling Tours…
- Imagine this: There’s nothing between you and the world around you; no windows, no cell phones, no walls…it’s you, a fresh breeze and the open road. Your ‘happy hormones’ are activated, and adrenaline will start to pump as a new world unfolds during this exciting adventure, which is only reserved for cyclists on holiday….
- Our cycling tours are not “Tour de France” style and you don’t need to be super fit. There won’t be any medals for arriving first either, so you can look forward to a totally relaxed and adventurous holiday. Why not stop en route for a slice of home-baked orange cake, some extra-strength espresso’s or a café au lait? …And oh, fancy cycling gear are totally optional!
- “Hassle-free” is one of our top priorities. For this reason, good (regular serviced) bicycles will be provided and included in majority of our tours. All your accommodation will be pre-booked, and your luggage will be transferred from one stop to the next. A support vehicle will accompany you on most of our tours and will kindly assist in case there are any broken chains or flat tyres!
