Explore Europe in a fun and energetic way: from the saddle of your bicycle. The immense number of carefully maintained bicycle paths and famous cycling routes throughout each country are obvious examples of the affection many Europeans have for this means of transport. From the gentle flat lands of Belgium to the magnificent big-city allure of Budapest… our bicycles will get you anywhere. And the best thing is: you don’t have to be a Lance Armstrong to spend your vacation with us. On our trips you’ll be able to ride your bike, go shopping, explore cultural treasures and relax all the same. It’s all up to you!
Active in Europe offers several different types of bicycle trips. See the overview below to find the kind of trip that suits you best. If you have any questions about our tours, then please do not hesitate to contact us. We’d be glad to help you hit the saddle.
Self-guided tours Many people enjoy traveling on their own while simultaneously engaging in a well-planned biking vacation. Therefore, all tours in this biking program are self-guided on individual base. You can choose to stay in one hotel (or small inn, or chambre d’hôte..) or to cycle from one accommodation to another.
1. Round trips On our round trips you'll cycle from hotel to hotel by way of a previously outlined route. As you cycle from one hotel to the next, your luggage will be transported for you. At the end of the afternoon, you'll find your luggage in the next hotel, where your room will already have been reserved. In short: we take care of everything.
Breakfasts are always included with these trips. The evening meals are often included as well. Occasionally, you'll be able to choose from the selection of evening meals yourself. Naturally, the quality of each hotel varies. Therefore, some may be quite luxurious and others rather simple. An open mind and an optimistic nature, however, will easily make any trip a great experience. The hotels in this package range from 2- to 4-stars. The rooms come with their own shower/bath and toilet.
2. Based Tours These trips allow you to extensively explore an area without having to shuffle from hotel to hotel. Another major advantage is that you are free to determine the order of the tours yourself or to change their variety at will. A stay of 3 nights onwards is already one of the options. The accommodations vary a great deal: ranging from a very luxurious hotel to a simple, cozy chambre d'hôte and from a family hotel to a former cognac estate. The accommodations do have one thing in common: they all meet our high quality standards. |
