Multi day trips designed for you


 

We are your local specialists in "peace of mind" self-guided cycling & e-bike tours on the Great Taste Trail. Most of our trips have a daily gentle cycling distance of around 30 km, which can be extended to suit you. All-inclusive package prices for each trip include bike hire (or you can bring your own), accommodation, all passenger and luggage transfers, personalised trip notes and a detailed pre-departure briefing. If you prefer to ride independently, we can provide Ortlieb panniers for our bikes. Free, off-road parking is available at our office.
