May 2027 - Montenegro Guaranteed departure, 5 places remaining

Montenegro is one of Europes newest countries packed with scenic beauty. We will loop the country taking in many of its most scenic roads and towns including Kotor, Shkodër and Cetinje as well as passing through Durmitor National Park. 
May 2027 - Shetland

The Aberdeen ferry to Shetland arrives in Lerwick on the mainland. We cycle to the extremities of the mainland and extend the route to the islands of Yell and Unst (in the far north). Includes a visit to Mousa, the biggest Broch in the world.

October 2027 - Georgia
The stunning scenery and challenging terrain of Georgia will be a revelation to all. It is an under used adventure playground, with high mountains and an ancient Christian culture. It is a land of stunning landscapes, fortified mountain villages, ancient churches, unclimbed peaks, wild beauty of the nature and hospitable people.
October 2027 - Japan
Explore Shikoku, in southern Japan. Beautiful temples, coastline, hot springs and Onsens. Full van support, Japanese guides, a fabulous experience.
And the other no lesser tours

September 2026 - Chester

Based at YHA Chester Trafford Hall for two nights we’ll ride in The Clwydian Hills in North East Wales, the excellent cycle paths on the Wirral through Burton Point nature reserve, historic Parkgate and West Kirby, finally heading  south into deepest Cheshire to Bunbury, Peckforton Castle and Farndon on the river Dee-the Welsh border.

October 2026 - Costa Blanca 
A fixed-base inland road tour centred around the town of Cocentaina, about 30 miles north of Alicante.

January 2027 - Lanzarote Road
A week-long road tour of Lanzarote, based at a guest house in the middle of the island. With daytime maximum temperatures rarely going below 20 degrees and rain being uncommon, it’s a great place to beat the winter blues. We will cross many different terrains and visit various attractions along the way.

Read our reviews on Trustpilot

"Great cycling with Tony Gore in Scottish borders. Well organised with excellent directions. Superb venue, fab food. Excellent value for money"
"Nothing was too much trouble for John Upton, our leader on this heritage railway cycling weekend. From organising accommodation to taking us out for meals, and of course navigating us on the bike rides each day. John was adaptive to the needs of each rider and gave us choices re distance and meals for example. There was even an opportunity for wild swimming during one ride! Would definitely use this company again."
"Helen and Harvey are great leaders and having been with them before, I felt I knew how good the touring would be. They are inclusive, friendly and extremely knowledgeable and know the area, Always, Helen is at the back ensuring no one gets left behind!"
