Question 1

How do cycling categories compare one to another?

Accepted Answer

We offer road cycling, trekking cycling and mountain biking holidays.
Our road cycling holidays are suitable for avid road cycling enthusiasts whose endurance is high enough to withstand multiple long cycling days in a row.

Our trekking cycling holidays are suitable for anyone, as the stages are short enough for most people, and the terrain is not technical — mostly tarmac and gravel. They will still be enjoyed most by people who cycle occasionally and feel comfortable with multiple days in a row on the saddle and some moderate climbing. For those looking for more leisurely cycling holidays, we offer an e-bike option.

Our e-MTB holidays are suitable for most people comfortable on a mountain bike who are fine with some rougher gravel roads and steeper hills, made easier with electric assistance. However, the single trails MTB holidays are suitable mostly for avid mountain bikers, as they tackle technical trails and fast descents, but are very adjustable to your skills and style of riding.

Question 2

Who will be our guide?

Accepted Answer

On our guided tours, you will have professional local guides. Our guides will make sure that you will have expert guidance combined with great fun and a memorable experience.

Question 3

Why is the accommodation not specified?

Accepted Answer

We are always looking for the perfect fit for you. We use a few different accommodation providers that fit our standards but they are subjected to availability, especially in the high season. We can also adjust the holiday, keeping in mind your preferences and budget and can always find a more suitable solution for your taste.

Question 4

How much in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking as early as possible. Most of our tours run through very touristy places where accommodation is limited. Most of the great places start getting booked for summer before spring.

Question 5

I have food restrictions

Accepted Answer

It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Europe, but vegan dishes, on the other hand, are extremely hard to come by in rural areas and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.

Question 6

Will I have some time to myself?

Accepted Answer

If you want to, sure! We are well aware that some people love to stay in groups while others prefer some more alone time on their trip. We wanted to give you the opportunity to do things your way. It is your holiday, after all! As long as you respect the group timings and locations designated by your guide, please feel free to customize your itinerary and create your own adventure!

Question 7

What if the weather forecast is bad?

Accepted Answer

Most of the tours can be done even in light rain, as long as you dress accordingly. It is not unusual in the summer that there are afternoon thunderstorms, so early starts are advisable. If the weather looks really bad, we will try to adjust the tour or skip a stage with a shuttle.

Question 8

What is the best season for cycling in Europe?

Accepted Answer

The best time for cycling in Europe varies depending on your preferences and the region you’re targeting. Spring offers moderate temperatures and scenic blooms in Southern Europe, while early summer is ideal for enjoying the mild climate and extended daylight in Northern Europe. Late summer to early fall in Central Europe is perfect for those who prefer cooler temperatures but still want to enjoy plenty of daylight. For winter escapes, consider warmer regions like the Canary Islands or Tenerife.

Question 9

What kind of a bicycle is the best for your tours?

Accepted Answer

Our tours can be adapted to any bike type, whether road, gravel, or mountain bike. We are in constant communication with you to find the optimal conditions for your cycling holidays in Europe.

The most versatile option is a gravel bike, even if you are coming on a road cycling holiday. It does not really affect your road performance while allowing you to take some scenic backroads that can be in a slightly worse state than the main ones. A gravel bike is usually more comfortable as well.

Any way, Europe is a very diverse continent and there is something for every cyclist. Whichever bike you choose, we will find the perfect route for you to take on your cycling holidays.

Question 10

How does luggage transfer work?

Accepted Answer

On cycling trips, luggage transfer allows you to ride without carrying heavy bags. Each morning, you leave your luggage at the designated spot—often the hotel reception—and it’s transported to your next overnight stop. Your bags are usually waiting for you when you arrive. Weight limits and pickup times can vary slightly depending on the service provider.

Question 11

Do you transfer bikes too? How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, bike transfers are often available when needed—such as before, after, or during your trip. Bikes are typically transported in secure vehicles or trailers designed for bicycles. You may need to notify the provider in advance, and some services require the bike to be clean or partially disassembled. Exact procedures vary depending on location and logistics.
