All our cycling holidays include at least the following:
You can find the inclusions, options, and services not included in each holiday under the "Information" tab.
It all depends on the destination. Destinations in the south of France and Europe are best enjoyed off-season to avoid the intense heat. Other destinations are extremely popular in July and August, so it's best to go in the spring or early autumn. Destinations in northern Europe (Scotland, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden, etc.) are perfect in summer and late spring to enjoy ideal temperatures and long days.
Most of La Bicyclette Verte's tours are self-guided. We provide everything you need for a self-guided cycling trip. If you would like a guide, please don't hesitate to contact us.
The seasonal supplement depends on your chosen departure date. Some of our partner accommodations have different prices depending on the season, so we adjust our prices accordingly. You can find information about seasonality in the "Information" tab of each cycling trip.
If you are interested in a self-guided tour, there are several ways to return to the starting point: public transport (bus, train) or a private shuttle. Some self-guided cycling trips automatically include this return to the starting point. For others, it's an optional extra. Check the "Information" tab of the relevant cycling trip to see what is included and what is offered as an option.
We work with carefully selected 2/3/4-star hotels and charming guesthouses. On some tours, we offer several levels of comfort:
Find information about accommodations on the "Information" tab of the tour that interests you.
Generally, our partner hotels allow check-in between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. This information is specified in the Welcome Documentation that you receive 2 to 3 weeks before departure. In any case, you can arrive earlier and leave your luggage in the luggage storage to enjoy the city.
No, we do not work with campsites.
All our tours include luggage transport between accommodations, except for our hub-and-spoke tours where there are no changes of accommodation.
Luggage transfer is handled by us or a local partner. You must leave your luggage at reception by 9:00 AM at the latest, and it will be delivered to your next accommodation before 6:00 PM. Remember to label your luggage with the provided tags using your booking name. All the details are explained in your welcome pack.
Whether you rent a hybrid bike or an electric bike, we always include a rear pannier, a front pannier, a lock, and a repair kit. Helmets are often offered as an option (free or for a fee depending on the tour).
It all depends on the difficulty level of the route and your fitness level. Normally, level 1 routes are doable on a hybrid bike, regardless of your fitness level. For more challenging routes, if you're unsure, book an electric bike. If you don't need the assistance, you can turn it off!
Rental bikes are delivered to and picked up from your accommodation. They are delivered no later than the morning of your first day of cycling. They are usually picked up the day after your last day of cycling. At the end of your trip, leave the bikes in the location indicated by reception. Remember to lock the bikes at each accommodation.
In the event of bike theft, we will reimburse you for the bike, with no deductible. The theft insurance is subject to certain conditions. Please refer to our Terms and Conditions for details.
