Guided Tour Package

Our Guided Tour package is our all-inclusive option. You choose your destination, and we take care of the rest! Itineraries, accommodations, meals, and roadside support—everything is planned out, so all you have to do is ride. Best of all, you can ride at your own pace and set off whenever you like. Our guide is there for you throughout the trip and will ensure that your days on the bike go perfectly.

This package includes:

A guide available 24/7

Your guide takes care of everything. He or she is your point of contact for the trip and:

– Available at all times
– Handles group reservations on-site (hotels, restaurants, transportation)
– Leads the morning briefing each day before hitting the road
– Expert on local spots, hidden gems, and must-see attractions, sometimes off the beaten path.

All of our guides are experienced cyclists who know the destinations inside and out. Whether you have questions, specific needs, or special requests… your guide will be able to provide you with the information you need during your trip!

Roadside Assistance

Your guide has mechanical expertise and first-aid training, and will assist you on the road in case of any problems.

He will also be able to let you know about any changes to the route, detours, or optional routes, thanks to his prior reconnaissance of the route before your trip.

Event Package

Is cycling your passion, and do you want to share it with hundreds—or even thousands—of other people who are just as passionate as you? Come join us for our cycling events! Every year, many families introduce their youngest members to cycling trips during the Petite aventure, while experienced cyclists come together to explore Quebec during the Grand Tour. These are summer events you won’t want to miss!

This package includes:

Destinations that change every year

Every summer, the routes for the Petite Aventure the Grand Tour change, but the fun remains the same.

Accommodations and meals

Several lodging options are available during the Grand Tour: either the traditional camping experience, or—for added comfort after a long day of cycling—a cozy hotel stay! On the Petite aventure, everyone stays at the village campground to ensure a great atmosphere!

All meals are included (lunch, dinner, and supper).

Marked trail

The routes for our events are clearly marked, so you won’t get lost during your cycling days! These markers also help you identify optional routes, lunch stops, and aid stations, as well as any detours from the regular route.

Please note, however, that the fact that the route is marked does not mean it is closed to cars. In fact, during the Grand Tour and the Petite Aventure, you will be using shared roads as well as bike lanes. It is therefore essential to follow all traffic laws!
