|
| Do you organize all these tours? |
|
| We design
most of the tours, in cooperation with local experts. We rely on a
network of local suppliers who live and work in the areas we visit:
hoteliers, bicycle rental shops, tour guides...With our combined
expertise, we put together the best tours at very reasonable prices.
These companies have all been selected based on their proven records
and our shared passion for "authentic" travel. |

breakfast, some or all lunches and dinners (as stated in the specific
tour description), English-speaking guide, luggage transfers, and
support vehicle. Please refer to the specific tour for details and an
in-depth description. |

|
| What is included in a self-guided tour? |

|
|
| How does the “Biking à la Carte”/Custom tour
service work? |
|
|
This service is so much in demand that we now
require a minimum of 6 people before taking up a fully customized
project. When the season is in full swing and our resources are in
short supply, we have to turn down requests (we really recommend that
you contact us early). As long as all the criteria is met we will
create a unique tour for your group. All your requirements (hotels,
mileage, interests, side activities, etc…) you list will be taken into
account and we will provide recommendations to deliver your “ideal”
once-in-a-lifetime trip.
|
|
|
| What type of accommodations do you offer? |
|
|
We use a wide variety of accommodations ranging
from 4-star hotels on deluxe tours, to "bivouac" on some mountain-bike
tours, and everything in between. We avoid big chain hotels and
actively seek out the quainter, more charming and “personal”
properties. Also, by keeping our groups small we can offera larger
range of properties. Please refer to the specific tour description for
accommodation details.
|
|
|
| What type of restaurants do you offer? |
|
| As often
as possible, we try to put together a combination of restaurants that
will allow you to sample the local cuisine and regional specialties. We
love food and we love to share this passion! If you have special
dietary requests or requirements, please let us know and we'll
accommodate them. |
|
|
| None of your tours fits our schedule and
abilities. Can you design a tour for us? |
|
|
Yes! Self-designing tours is the core activity of
our business. If this interests you, please have the leader of the
group complete the online form. We'll give you a quote based on your
requests within 48 hours. Allow us 6 weeks to design a complete tour
and we'll provide you with a custom itinerary. We can also take care of
the rest: hotel bookings, bicycle rentals, support van, guides, etc...However,
you may choose to use only the itinerary and do a self-supported trip.
It's your choice.

|
|
| Do you organize other trips besides biking
tours? |
|
|
Bicycling is our specialty. We create and organize
biking tours for all levels and all types of riders. However, we are
happy to include optional activities such as canoeing, hiking, hot air
ballooning, golfing, and various other activities which will supplement
the biking experience.
|
|
| |
| I'd love to go on a tour, but my partner does
not bike. Can you organize a tour for us? How about my kids? |
|
| Yes, we
can suggest a custom tour using a "base" as a hub, including biking for
you and activities for your partner: language or cooking classes,
guided tours, golfing, etc. Just fill out our "Biking a la Carte" form.
We can also organize activities for the whole family or find a nanny
for your kids. We are local and we know a lot of people in the area! |
|
| |
| I am a serious rider, can you organize
something challenging? |
|
| Yes
indeed! We can even direct you to some exhilarating roads or help you
enter into mountain-bike races. |
|
| |
| Where are you based? |
|
We are
in Gaillard in France, steps from Geneva.
