Why you’ll love our small group tours…
Camaraderie

Glorious guides
Our experienced guides and tour leaders are here to ensure that every pedal stroke of your tour runs like clockwork. Whether you’re joining a fully guided tour with a riding guide or a supported tour where our guides assist from a support vehicle, we promise you’ll be in the best hands possible while away.
Legendary lunches
Bringing you the best local food and drink to fuel your ride and tantalise your tastebuds. Skedaddle lunches are an important part of your day in the saddle, and they’ve earned a reputation over the years for being a tour highlight.
Support vehicle
A dedicated support vehicle is on hand to assist with everything from mechanical issues to emergency back-up and extra supplies. You can also make the most of the van, stashing any extra layers or spares that you might need throughout the day’s riding.
Transfers
On many of our tours we’ll arrange one group transfer on the scheduled arrival and departure date to and from a designated airport or train station. We’ll also take care of your luggage transfers throughout the tour.
Booking onto a small group tour
Our guided and supported tours require a minimum number of riders to run, typically around 6 riders. Once you book your space we’ll be in touch to let you know once we have reached the minimum number and the trip becomes ‘guaranteed’ to run.
Planning a large group tour? If you’re a group of riders looking for your next ride, then ask us about optional private departures.
Self-guided tours
Do you dream of hopping on your bike to explore somewhere new on your very own cycling adventure? Our self-guided tours allow you to do just that but with all the tricky logistics and route planning taken care of.
