Bicycle tours are a great way for your family to explore a region or country. Together you get a feel for new terrain, the sights and smells, history, culture, and people—experiences that aren’t always possible from a train or rental car.
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?
“Our family had an amazing experience. With two boys the distance was easily manageable, and we could focus on the ‘travel experience’ and not just getting there.”
