My wife (Ruth) and I joined Bikestyle tours on their 2025 Vuelta Espana Tour.  Having had a really positive experience with Bikestyle on the 2011 TdF tour, we were confident that this tour would also be great, but I have to say it exceeded expectations. Firstly, the hotels were exceptional.  I can only imagine how hard it was to find suitable accommodation for a group in some of these out of the way regions.  The Las Caldas hotel and the Monastery at Santo Estevo were standouts but all of the hotels were great and a step up from our last tour. Secondly, we loved our guides, Eric and Claire.  They were truly extraordinary and we were so lucky to have them guide us around.  The group on this tour was quite small (only seven people) and so there was even more pressure on them, as they were spending a lot more time in contact with each of us.  We thoroughly enjoyed their company, not just as guides but as great people.  I was particularly grateful for the extra kindness and attention that Claire showed to Ruth (as the only female rider in the group and who was very self conscious about not wanting to hold people up).  Claire did an amazing job of managing a variety of different riding abilities which, in a small group, was much more challenging. Thirdly, the organisation and logistics were great.  The whole tour went seamlessly, even with unexpected events such as the protests that occurred.  It was also great that Eric was able to wangle us into a team bus and have some contact with the Teams which was very special.  There was a very good balance between riding and watching the race in the various locations and we felt that we saw as much of the race as we needed to. All in all, we had a great time.  We are already looking ahead for our next one.  Thanks again to Adam and the whole team.

Thanks Eric, Claire and the Bikestyle crew for a wonderful La Vuelta trip this year.  The itinerary, hotels and group dinners were all first class.  Thanks especially to Claire for her support in getting to the top of L’Angliru. Definitely one to tick off the bucket list!

We loved every minute of our recent 2025 La Vuelta trip with my wife attending as a non-riding spectator. Eric & Claire were fantastic guides / friends throughout our Spanish journey with Sue becoming a quasi member of the Bikestyle team. We would highly recommend Bikestyle Tours to anyone considering their 1st cycling tour either as a rider or spectator.

This BikeStlye Tour was a fantastic experience!  The staff was extraordinary, the accommodations superb, the scenery beautiful, and cycling challenging.  I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Update: Another great trip in 2025! Update: Tour de France Femmes 2023 was THE BEST. Thanks Adam, Petra, Sophie and especially Alex who rode up Tourmelet 3 times in a day to help us. Photo is Pic de Nore, gorgeous riding. Bikestyle are an absolute pleasure to travel with. Friendly, easy to get on with and really know their stuff. They're organised but flexible so everything happens but always in a relaxed laid back way. Another highlight is the great people they seem to attract, I've always met people I really like to ride with and travel with in bikestyle groups. The trips I've done with bikestyle have been some of my best memories and I look forward to travelling with them again in the future.

To all cycling enthusiasts out there, do yourself a favour and book a cycling adventure with BIKESTYLE TOURS. It is just an amazing experience. I was very much looking forward to the last week of the Tour de France 2025 in the months leading up to event, but when it was actually happening it was so much better than I imagined. Everything about the event was superb. The planning that goes into an event such as this is a credit to Adam and his sensational crew of people on the ground to make it an unforgettable time. I could not fault anything on the tour. They had thought of everything and were flexible and accommodating along the way. Meals, accommodation, cycle routes, transport, bikes and knowledge transfer from the staff were all first class. Being in the French Alps is a majestic experience and to be able to check out the landscape on a bike is incredible. I would like to think I can do something like this again. Having done it once it, it is most tempting to give another tour ago in the not too distant future. Fabulous time!! Michael J Royal

I have just completed the 2022 Giro Tour with Bikestyle. What a fantastic experience. From when I first contacted Adam, we had to battle through covid and lockdown. He was so accommodating and supportive. On the trip he is the perfect tour leader and guide, cool, calm, fun and generous with his time.  He is well backed up by ex pro Eric De Clerc, super experienced, interested in talking about his life as a rider but also yours. Diego is Adam’s go to man for Italy, fluent in 4 languages, the most helpful guy who is so passionate about cycling and his country.  Bruno was our driver, so good to have Frenchman along. Couldn’t get a better driver but also fun to be around and do anything for you.  I achieved my goal of climbing the Stelvio on a brilliant day along with some other fabulous climbs. But more than that, we watched the Giro racing through villages and finally culminating in the arena in Verona with a win to Jai Hindley.  Seems Adam can organise anything, weather and a spectacular Giro win too.  Thanks guys, can’t recommend you enough.

This was a great trip. There is nothing like doing bucket list climbs in Europe and having all the logistics sorted for you, and a great bunch of people to ride with. This was the 4th Bikestyle trip I’ve been on (each different) and each time on my own. Every time the trips are well organised, the guides are really good (exceptional experience- how often do you get to ride with a 5x TdF finisher!) and the other guests are always ‘likeminded’ and good fun. Thanks BS.

We just returned from Bikestyle Tours Spectator Tour for the Tour de France.  It was an amazing experience and Bikestyle had every aspect of the trip planned to perfection.  The transport, the hotels, the dinners, and our two exceptional tour hosts made this trip such a pleasure.  We recommend them completely and without qualification!  Thank you Bikestyle for the trip of a lifetime!
