Bike Tours - Energizing Vacations

Bike tours are made for folks that have a passion for cycling as well as those that are looking to "spice up their life" by experiencing something entirely different. Luxury biking tours are available for riders who are at all types of fitness levels. Many tours are set up so that entire families can participate - no more listening to the kids whine "Are we there yet?"

These tour companies give you a memorable riding experience by providing guides that are familiar with the surroundings, speak the native language, as well as providing quality bicycles to ride on the trip. It's great not having to pack up your own bicycle and then put up with the hassles of shipping and possible repairs.

City tours are usually set up so that you choose either half-day or full-day rides. By choosing to tour major cities on bike (like Munich, Germany) you are offered a chance to see the beauty of the city from your bike seat and not from the back of a tour bus.

Road tours are typically complete vacation packages that have you biking as many days as you want. Trips are available from 2 days to more than a week. They provide everything you need - including bikes, overnight lodging, park fees and meals. These trips usually have you travel on pavement and gravel roads. There's not much better than cruising thorugh the vineyards in gorgeous weather!

Mountain tours are available as a day trip or they can be as long as more than a week. These trips are for very active people, with some of the tours being offered only to experienced riders. The mountain bike trails range from non-technical to mountainous single-track. Once you've ridden into the wilderness, you can choose to fish, white water raft, ice climb or kayak. The trips are led by very capable tour guides that know the local terrain and can help you get the most out of your vacation time. Again, all bike rentals, meals, park and camping fees are provided.

All in all, if you're looking for an exciting and totally different vacation, then looking into a trip provided by a bike tour company may be just the answer you've been seeking.
