The company is owned and run by its leaders—a collaborative group of experienced touring cyclists. They describe themselves as a non-profit organization motivated by the joy of planning and sharing holidays with friends, rather than for commercial gain. Personal Touch: Unlike larger businesses, Bikexplore celebrates the individual style of its leaders. Each tour reflects the personality of the organizer, and travelers typically deal with the same person from their first contact through the holiday itself. What They Offer Tour Variety: They provide a wide range of cycling holidays, from weekend trips in the UK to international "moving-on" tours in destinations like Japan, Italy (Calabria), and Spain. Accommodation: They prioritize local, family-run hotels and guesthouses over middle-range commercial hotels to provide a more immersive experience. Expertise: Many of their leaders have managed dozens of tours, with some having led over 100 trips worldwide.

A fixed-base inland road tour centred around the town of Cocentaina, about 30 miles north of Alicante in Spain. This area is a beautiful, varied landscape in the Alicante province, characterised by the mountainous terrain of Serra de Mariola, with its fertile valleys of olive groves, almonds, and citrus, crisscrossed by quiet roads perfect for cycling. It offers a mix of nature, gastronomy featuring local produce like nisperos, history, and vibrant festivals, serving as a hub for outdoor activities. This holiday is half board (breakfast and evening meal provided) including some of the local wine and beer.
