Each day on a Self-Guided Cycling Holiday is a balance of active exploration, cultural immersion, and well-earned relaxation. Mornings often begin with breakfast before you set out on your bike, following scenic routes mapped out for you. The rest of the day might include optional guided tours, wine or local food tastings, or free time to explore at your own pace.
Each program is thoughtfully curated, with detailed route maps, suggested stops, and cultural highlights to help you make the most of your journey. There’s plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings, whether you want to linger in a vineyard, visit a historic site, or just relax in a quiet park.

Picture yourself pedaling through the golden hills of Tuscany, Italy, past olive groves and medieval towns, cycling around the lakes of Lombardy, or taking in the breathtaking views along the Amalfi Coast.
In the Netherlands, enjoy cycling along scenic canals, through fields of tulips in spring, and into Dutch villages where you can stop for a stroopwafel or a coffee by the water.
While in Asia, your journey in Vietnam might take you through emerald rice paddies, over misty mountain passes, and into vibrant local markets, where you can sample fresh street food and meet friendly locals.
Last but not least, you can also explore the dramatic coastline of the Pacific Coast Highway in the USA, ride through national parks like Yellowstone or Acadia, or discover the scenic backroads and covered bridges of New England.
