Bike Tours: The Active Holiday that Still Feels Like a Holiday

Do you want a trip that’s active, enriching and slightly challenging... but still leaves you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and genuinely on holiday?

Because if that’s the case, then let’s be honest:

  • Skip the cruise. You’ll likely feel more sluggish than when you left.
  • Skip the Airbnb and the same beach umbrella every day. You’ll get bored.
  • Skip the road trip. Too much tarmac and traffic, not enough authentic moments.

You want an active holiday that doesn’t push you to your limit and still allows for rest and relaxation time.

How About a Bike Tour in 2026?

Global Cycling Adventures tours are designed for travellers who want the perfect balance.

Active enough to feel like you really earned that nap on the beach, that dip in the ocean, or that extra croissant...

But, relaxed enough that you don’t need a holiday to recover from your holiday.

You’ll cycle at a comfortable pace (with e-bikes available), explore beautiful landscapes, villages, and cultures, and finish each day feeling pleasantly satisfied.

Not sore, not exhausted, just content.

Content enough to enjoy a long dinner, a good glass of wine, and some belly-laughs with your fellow riders!

And perhaps best of all?

You’ll experience destinations from a completely different angle: the one from your bike seat.

Quiet back roads, charming villages, local encounters, and views you simply don’t get from a bus window.

If 2026 is the year you want to:

  • Stay active without pushing your limits
  • Travel with like-minded people
  • Come home feeling relaxed and accomplished
