Family-Friendly Bike Tours

Bike Tours Bring You Closer

Bicycle tours are a great way for your family to explore a region or country. Together, you get a feel for new terrain, new cultures, new cuisine, and a destination's people and history—experiences that aren’t always possible from a train or rental car. These are invaluable learning moments for young travelers, not to mention the fact that bike tours are a fun, dynamic, and exciting way to spend some unforgettable quality time together.

Here are the factors we consider when recommending a tour for your family:

  • Does the tour take place on dedicated bike paths? Or possibly quiet side roads?
  • Is the route grade flat or mostly flat?
  • Are the daily distances shorter (easier for shorter legs)?
  • Does the tour operator provide appropriate bikes and rental equipment for a variety of ages?
  • Does the tour possibly have educational value, enjoyable sites or attractions, non-cycling activities, or built-in rest days?
