Challenging Bike Tours and Cycling Holiday Packages for Small Groups

Challenging Tour Packages for Small Groups

We recommend a higher degree of fitness and training to make the most of the experiences you will find on this page.

These Freewheeling Adventures include longer distances, bigger hills, long hikes, and full days of activity. As always, these include vehicle support, excellent food, and charming inns. These challenging tour packages are designed people who like to go to bed pleasantly tired each night, and are available with differing support levels including guided, self-guided, private, and custom.

Guided trips include abundant van support and the knowledge of your guides to help you enjoy the route and its options in an informed way, at your own pace. We often congregate for picnics and other delights but we rarely travel as a pack. The guided groups are kept small – usually fewer than twelve, with a minimum of four except on a private basis. We propose scheduled dates, and are open to adding new departures for you to enjoy privately or for us to invite others to join.

On self-guided trips we move your luggage for you, transfer you along the route when necessary, and are just a phone call away for suggestions or if you need help. Self-guided tours are available for as few as two participants, on any dates you choose.
