If you are in the market for a bicycle tour and aren’t sure where to start, we can tell you exactly what you need to consider before setting out.

Finding the balance between challenge and fun

There are a plethora of bicycle tours out there, and just like any trip, you need to pick the service that is right for you. Bike Odyssey have designed bicycle tours around two factors, challenge, and enjoyment. There is nothing worse than absolutely punishing yourselves on a bike and not getting a chance to enjoy the world around you, or undertaking a ride that doesn’t cover barely any distance.

With Bike Odyssey you will find the perfect balance between these two elements. Our tours will challenge you physically, but provide you with historical context as well as comfort.
