Whether you ride every opportunity, spectate throughout or travel with a cycling partner, our team takes care of the logistics so everyone can enjoy the Grand Départ their way.
Riding Experience
For riders, the tour explores four distinctive British cycling regions, including the Scottish Borders, Midlothian, the Lake District and Bannau Brycheiniog in Wales. Expect quiet country lanes, rolling valleys, short steeper climbs and some spectacular mountain scenery.
Most cycling days include shorter and longer ride options, with experienced guides, support vehicles and mechanical assistance giving you the flexibility to choose how much you ride.
Spectator Experience
You don’t need to ride to enjoy this tour. Spectators and non-riding partners share the major Tour de France experiences, accommodation and social side of the trip, with opportunities to enjoy the destinations while our cyclists are riding.
This makes the Grand Départ particularly well suited to couples and friends with different riding interests, you can enjoy parts of the day differently before coming together for the racing, meals and shared experiences.
Tour de France Experience
The tour is built around the complete opening of the 2027 Tour de France Grand Départ. Experience the official Team Presentation at Edinburgh Castle, the historic Stage 1 start in Edinburgh, the Stage 2 start in Keswick and the Stage 3 finish in Cardiff.
These race days are mixed with riding and destination experiences, giving the tour a great balance between following the world’s biggest bike race and experiencing Great Britain beyond the barriers.
Accommodation
Enjoy carefully selected 4-star accommodation across the Scottish Borders, Edinburgh, the Lake District and Cardiff. Each hotel is chosen for comfort and location, while also allowing us to manage the complex transport, bike and race-day logistics involved in following the Tour de France across three nations.
One of the strengths of our Tour de France Grand Depart Tour is that you don’t need to ride every kilometre to have a great cycling holiday. The itinerary naturally alternates riding with race viewing, giving you plenty of flexibility throughout the ten days.
Social Riders & Leisure Cyclists
This is your cycling holiday, not a training camp. Choose the shorter ride options, use the Tour de France viewing days as recovery days or simply take a day off the bike when you feel like it.
Our routes are designed to let you experience some fantastic British cycling without needing to ride long distances every day. With experienced guides and support vehicles available during scheduled rides, you can adjust your riding as the tour progresses and enjoy the Grand Depart at your own pace.
Experienced & Enthusiast Cyclists
If riding is a major reason you travel, the longer options provide additional kilometres, climbing and the opportunity to experience more of Britain’s varied road cycling.
From the flowing roads and open valleys of the Scottish Borders to the sharper gradients of the Lake District and mountain roads of Wales, there is enough variety to keep strong riders interested. Our longer routes allow you to challenge yourself while still preserving enough energy to enjoy the Tour de France race experiences that make this trip unique.
All buffet breakfasts, dinner on 3 nights, including Welcome and Farewell Dinners with drinks.

From quiet Scottish lanes to the roar of a Tour de France crowd, our team handles the details so you can enjoy the bike, the race and everything that happens in between.
There is something special about being there at the very beginning of the Tour de France. Every jersey is still up for grabs, every team arrives with ambition and there is an excitement around the riders, team buses and crowds that makes a Grand Départ completely different from following the race later in July.
In 2027, it will be even more memorable. The men’s Tour de France starts in Scotland for the first time, before three opening stages take the race through Scotland, England and Wales.
What we love about this tour is that you experience much more than the racing. Riders can explore the quiet roads and open landscapes of the Scottish Borders, the hills around Edinburgh, the spectacular Lake District and the mountains of Wales. Spectators can enjoy these same regions at their own pace, making this a great trip for couples and friends who don’t necessarily want to spend every day on a bike.
Then there are the moments only a Grand Départ can deliver, seeing the teams presented beneath Edinburgh Castle, feeling the anticipation on the morning of Stage 1, watching the riders prepare in Keswick and being among the crowds in Cardiff as the third stage reaches its conclusion.
You’re not simply coming to watch the Tour de France. You’re spending ten days riding, spectating and experiencing the Grand Départ as it moves across three nations.

The 2027 Tour de France Grand Départ Tour is a 10-day fully supported experience through Scotland, England and Wales, created for both riders and spectators around the historic opening three stages of the Tour de France.
We’ve designed the tour so the Grand Départ is at the heart of the experience, without making every day simply about chasing the race. Before the peloton rolls out of Edinburgh, there’s time to settle into Scotland, explore the Scottish Borders and experience the anticipation building around one of world cycling’s biggest events.
For riders, the tour combines the racing with some excellent British cycling. You’ll ride quiet roads through the Scottish Borders, explore the countryside around Edinburgh, experience the landscapes of the Lake District and finish among the mountains and reservoirs of Bannau Brycheiniog in Wales. Shorter and longer options on selected days, together with experienced guides and vehicle support, allow you to choose how much you want to ride.
Spectators and non-riding partners are very much part of the tour too. You’ll share the major Tour de France experiences, destinations, accommodation and social side of the trip, with alternative opportunities to enjoy each region while the cycling groups are out riding. It makes the tour particularly well suited to couples and friends with different riding interests.
Then the Tour takes centre stage. Experience the official Team Presentation beneath Edinburgh Castle, the excitement of the Stage 1 Grand Départ in Edinburgh, the Stage 2 start among the fells and lakes of Keswick and the Stage 3 finish in Cardiff.
Away from the race, there’s time for a private tour of Edinburgh, a Scottish whisky distillery visit and relaxed evenings sharing the day with fellow cycling fans.
With quality 4-star accommodation and the Bikestyle Tours team managing the bikes, transport, riding and complicated race-day logistics, you can concentrate on what matters, riding when you want to ride, experiencing the Tour de France and enjoying ten memorable days across Great Britain.
Your Itinerary
Welcome to Scotland, Edinburgh to the Scottish Borders
Your 2027 Tour de France Grand Départ Tour begins in Edinburgh, where our Bikestyle Tours team will meet you at Edinburgh Airport at 11.00 am. Bikes and luggage loaded, we’ll leave the city behind and travel south into the Scottish Borders, our home for the first three nights.
After checking into our hotel near Hawick and getting the bikes set up, it’s time for our first ride.
We’ll deliberately keep this one relaxed. The opening loop follows quiet country roads around Hawick, giving everyone a chance to settle onto the bike, loosen the legs after travelling and get a first taste of riding in Scotland.
Expect rolling farmland, stone walls, small villages and the peaceful roads that make the Scottish Borders such enjoyable cycling country. There’s no need to chase numbers today, this is about finding your rhythm and getting comfortable before the bigger rides ahead.
Back at the hotel, we’ll gather for our Welcome Dinner and drinks. It’s our chance to introduce the team, run through the days ahead and start talking about what promises to be a very special week of cycling and Tour de France racing.

Ride the Scottish Borders, Talla, Megget and St Mary's Loch
Today we head properly into the Scottish Borders for one of the standout rides of the tour.
Our route takes us through a landscape of open valleys, reservoirs, remote roads and long stretches where traffic can feel almost non-existent. We’ll ride towards Talla Reservoir, tackle the climb through the hills and continue towards Megget Reservoir and St Mary’s Loch, one of the most scenic parts of the Borders.
The terrain here has a rhythm of its own. Long rolling sections give way to more demanding climbs, followed by sweeping descents through wide-open countryside. Stronger riders can continue onto our extended route, adding more kilometres and climbing, while the shorter option still delivers a proper day on the bike.
With our Bikestyle Tours support vehicle never far away, you can concentrate on the roads, scenery and riding rather than worrying about supplies or logistics.
We’ll return to Hawick in the afternoon with tired legs and plenty to talk about over dinner.

Tweed Valley Cycling, Melrose and Scottish History
Today we follow the River Tweed through another beautiful corner of southern Scotland.
Leaving Hawick, we’ll ride north through rolling countryside towards Melrose, with quiet lanes, open farmland and classic Borders scenery accompanying us along the way.
Melrose makes a natural destination for cyclists. We’ll have time to stop for coffee and explore the historic town before visiting Melrose Abbey, founded in the 12th century and closely connected to the story of Robert the Bruce.
From here, choose to finish the shorter ride or continue with our guides on the longer route through more of the Tweed Valley.
Later in the afternoon, we’ll swap bikes for something distinctly Scottish with a guided visit and tasting at The Borders Distillery in Hawick.
It’s a day that captures exactly what we want from this tour, quality riding, somewhere interesting to stop and enough time off the bike to enjoy where we are.

Ride to Edinburgh and the Tour de France Team Presentation
Today the Tour de France starts to feel very real.
After breakfast, we’ll transfer north towards Edinburgh before getting back on the bikes for a ride through Midlothian and the Pentland Hills.
The riding changes again today. Expect rolling roads, open farmland and views towards Edinburgh as we make our way closer to the Scottish capital. We’ll stop for lunch along the route before continuing towards the city and checking into our Edinburgh hotel.
Then it’s time to put the bikes away and immerse ourselves in the Tour.
This afternoon we’ll join a private local guide for a walking tour through Edinburgh’s Old Town, learning more about the history and character of the city before making our way towards Edinburgh Castle.
Tonight is one of the first major moments of the Grand Départ, the official 2027 Tour de France Team Presentation.
This is when the anticipation really builds. Riders, teams, media and cycling fans come together as the entire Tour de France peloton is presented ahead of Stage 1.

Edinburgh Cycling and the Calm Before the Tour
There’s something special about riding through a Grand Départ city the day before the Tour de France begins.
Teams are out reconning roads, mechanics are preparing bikes, support vehicles are everywhere and cycling fans begin arriving from around the world. Edinburgh will be buzzing, but we still have another day of riding to enjoy.
We’ll head away from the busiest parts of the city and ride towards the open roads around East Lothian, where quieter lanes and rolling countryside provide a great contrast to the atmosphere building back in Edinburgh.
As always, we’ll have shorter and longer options available, giving you the choice between a relaxed day ahead of Stage 1 or some extra kilometres if the legs are feeling good.
We’ll return to Edinburgh with plenty of time to relax, explore the city or simply enjoy watching the Tour de France circus take over the streets.

After breakfast, we’ll head into the city and position ourselves to experience the Stage 1 start. Grand Départ morning has an energy all of its own. Team buses arrive, riders complete their final preparations, fans line the barriers and months of anticipation finally give way to racing.
We’ll soak up the atmosphere as the peloton rolls away from Edinburgh and begins its journey south towards Carlisle.
Once the race is underway, we’ll regroup and begin our own journey into England, travelling towards the Lake District, where we’ll spend the next two nights.

Stage-start mornings give you a completely different perspective on the Tour. There’s time to watch the teams arrive, see the riders warming up, check out the latest bikes and equipment and enjoy the build-up before the racing begins.
We’ll position ourselves around the start area as the peloton prepares for another huge day before watching the riders roll out of Keswick.
After the race has departed, we’ll return to our hotel and enjoy the rest of the afternoon in the Lake District. Depending on timing and conditions, there may be an opportunity for a short spin, or you can put your feet up and enjoy a well-earned recovery day.

After breakfast, we’ll leave the Lake District and travel towards Cardiff, where the opening British chapter of the Tour de France reaches its conclusion.
Stage finishes are completely different to stage starts. The anticipation builds throughout the afternoon as spectators gather, the big screens follow the race and updates begin filtering through from the road.
Then the helicopters appear.
The noise builds.
And suddenly the Tour is coming.
We’ll experience the atmosphere around the Cardiff finish as the riders race towards the line and the battle for the yellow jersey continues.

After three huge days immersed in the Tour de France, today is about getting back on the bike.
We’ll travel from Cardiff into Bannau Brycheiniog, the Brecon Beacons National Park, for our final major ride of the tour.
The Welsh landscape gives us a brilliant finale. Expect mountain roads, reservoirs, open moorland, green valleys and plenty of climbing. The roads rise and fall constantly, rewarding the effort with expansive views and long descents through some of the best cycling country in South Wales.
Choose the shorter route for a rewarding final ride or join our guides for the extended option if there’s still plenty left in the legs.
There is something particularly satisfying about riding together after several days watching the world’s best cyclists race. The conversations inevitably turn to what we’ve seen, favourite moments and just how quickly professional riders seem to make difficult roads disappear beneath them.
Tonight we’ll celebrate the end of the tour with our Farewell Dinner and drinks in Cardiff.

By now, you’ll have ridden through Scotland, England and Wales, experienced the Tour de France Team Presentation beneath Edinburgh Castle and followed all three opening stages of the Grand Départ across Great Britain.
But, as always, it’s usually the smaller moments that stay with you, a quiet Scottish road, coffee with the group, the first sound of the race helicopter approaching, standing beside a barrier as the peloton flashes past or sharing stories over dinner after another memorable day.
