Bicycle Tours

“I felt I had the best benefits of a group tour – logistics, preplanning, support during the day, luggage handling, meeting new people – and the benefits of independent travel, in that I could ride on my own, at my own pace, and see the towns we stayed at as I saw fit, without being stuck with a group if I did not want to. A hard balance to achieve, but achieved it was.”

“I continue to be impressed by your flexibility in providing riders of different capabilities and interests a satisfying experience. You have largely succeeded in providing satisfaction to everyone!”

Groups and tour operators

We run a small cycling touring company named Cycling Friends, LLC and offer high value low cost cycling vacations primarily in Italy and France. We have used Cycle Europe exclusively for our Tuscany trip as far back as about 2010. We have been very pleased with their bikes over the years and they have only gotten better. From the first customer contact until delivery and pick up without a doubt they have performed at a very high standard. Their customer service is impeccable and their strong point and it only gets better with age, like a fine Italian wine!
