Tour Europe on Mountain Bikes
Travelers can now explore Europe's most popular destinations on mountain bikes thanks to new all-inclusive bike tours. These tours are also budget friendly at less than $1,000 per week, and most are suitable for families and novice cyclists. There are a wide-range of tours that can be booked through the US-based company BikeToursDirect, which represents 50 European bicycle tour companies in 35 countries. Over 200 tours are can be booked online through the company website.
Local bike tour companies keep their prices low by doing business close to home and spreading their expenses over a large and primarily European client base. In addition to guided tours, travelers can save by booking the less expensive self-guided options that most of the European companies offer. Self-guided tours still offer a lot of support, with pre-booked lodging, luggage transfer and rental bikes delivered to your starting hotel.
