Frequently asked questions about Explore Biking tours
How does a group biking trip work?
Our small-group biking tours are a great way to explore a destination. Biking gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the landscapes and communities of a country.
With an average group size of 12, you'll get to enjoy the ride with other like-minded riders. And you'll have a tour leader to lead your group and share their expert local knowledge.

How difficult are Explore Biking tours?
Our trips all have a biking grade from Easy (typically flat, leisurely rides) to Challenging (hillier and longer routes). Most of our tours are graded from Easy to Moderate, but for keener bikers, we do also offer some Challenging tours.
You can even hire E-Bikes on our biking tours for a small additional cost. Read more about our biking grades here.
How can I prepare for a biking tour?
We recommend that you spend some extra time in the saddle before you set off for your biking tour – how much time will depend on the trip that you’ve chosen, and its grade.
It’s also important that you get the right kit – from clothing to helmet – and think about snacks and sustenance. Read more about how to prepare for your biking trip.
