Tour Experience: Our Ardennes Classics Tour is crafted for both passionate cyclists and dedicated race fans, offering a truly immersive experience in one of cycling’s most scenic and storied regions. Whether you’re riding the legendary climbs or cheering from the roadside, you’ll feel part of the action from start to finish.

Cyclists will take on some of the sport’s most iconic, and deceptively challenging, hills, including the Mur de Huy, Côte de la Redoute, and Cauberg, following in the tyre tracks of the pros in races like La Flèche Wallonne, Liège–Bastogne–Liège, and the Amstel Gold Race. Every ride is fully supported, with expert guides ensuring you get the most out of every climb and descent.

For non-riders, the experience is just as rich. You’ll travel comfortably in our support vehicle, stopping at key race vantage points to witness the drama unfold up close. Between race days, enjoy guided visits to charming towns, castles, and local markets, and soak in the beauty of the Ardennes countryside.

In the evenings, riders and spectators come together to swap stories over Belgian beer, hearty regional cuisine, and the shared excitement of witnessing cycling history in the making. It’s the perfect way for friends or couples with different interests to enjoy the Ardennes Classics, together, and in true Bikestyle fashion.

Rides: Our tours welcome all levels of cyclists! With a high staff-to-guest ratio, we provide flexible daily ride options tailored to meet different fitness levels. Stronger riders can opt for route extensions to add more distance and elevation, while those seeking a gentler pace or rest day can explore non-cycling activities or enjoy our easier ride options. Each day brings a new choice, allowing everyone to personalise their experience and enjoy the journey.
