Overview

Join us for the world’s biggest Grand Tour and ride with us on our leisure "Experience" Tours, or tackle the full "Ride Every Kilometre" challenge like a pro on this magnificent route across France! Grand Tours Project is a seasoned tour operator, dedicated to delivering memorable tours that cater to cyclists of all levels. The journey begins with the Grand Départ in Barcelona and its spectacular Team Time Trial, followed by a thrilling ride into the high Pyrenees with climbs like Col d’Aspin and Tourmalet. From Bordeaux through the Massif Central and into the Vosges, each stage offers a mix of flat, hilly, and mountainous terrain. Week 3 brings the decisive Alps stages, including a dramatic ITT by Lake Geneva and a brutal Queen Stage with Croix de Fer, Galibier, and a historic finish on Col de Sarenne before Alpe d’Huez — ending with a celebratory finale in Paris. Our "Experience" tours are designed to let you ride the best 50–70/80 km on the same route, just hours ahead of the pros. Be part of the race, experience the passionate crowds, and cheer on the pros. Grand Tours Project typically splits the race into three week-long tours, plus a Grand Depart tour, allowing participants to immerse themselves in the Tour de France experience at different stages of the event. As it says, ride on the same route, just 24 hours ahead of the pros. Suitable only for advanced cyclists capable of long back-to-back days. If you are looking for a challenging tour, the "Ride Every Kilometre" tours are for you. This tour is as close as amateur cyclists can get to being a pro rider in a Grand Tour. Push your limits on this challenging tour and ride one week, two weeks or all 21 stages of the race. We’ll handle all the logistics, including accommodation, meals, and transfers, so you can focus on the ride. With expert guides and drivers, you’ll be fully supported every step of the way. Ride like a pro with the GTP support van nearby, stocked with drinks, nutrition, spare clothing, and ready to provide mechanical and moral support whenever needed. See, feel, and experience the Tour de France as a non-riding VIP spectator on any of the 21 stages with the TDF Hospitality experiences, including start and finish line access, and the extra option to follow the peloton in a car or even by helicopter (available for some stages). If you prefer a more structured trip around the key stages, we also offer the Tour de France Spectator Escapes, specially designed to give you the best of the race experience.
