Why Choose This Tour?

The tour focuses on enjoying landscapes through human power, cycling 35-95km daily across 5 countries to immerse in the beautiful scenery.
Accommodation providers' Green Tourism credentials are taken into account, and partners are encouraged to reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Food and drink are sourced locally as much as possible, with opportunities to try local specialities like cream tea in Yorkshire, Guinness in Ireland, and a dram of whisky in Scotland.
The company works with local communities and businesses, seeking out locally owned and family-run hotels and restaurants.
Visitors are introduced to local and unique experiences, such as visiting castles, enjoying locally operated boat tours, eating at farm shops, and having the opportunity to visit the Giant's Causeway in the evening outside of normal visiting hours.
Group sizes are deliberately kept small to minimize disturbance to the environment and local communities, and to allow for stays at smaller accommodation providers.
