Our Cycling Packages

Table of Contents

Discover our cycling packages, which allow you to choose a trip based on your interests and needs. Check out the packages below, and feel free to contact us with any requests or questions about our packages.

Guided Tour Package

The Guided Tour package is our all-inclusive option. You choose your destination, and we take care of the rest! Itineraries, accommodations, meals, and support along the way—everything is planned out; 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 make sure your days on the bike go smoothly.

This package includes:

A guide available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day

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

– Available at all times
– In charge of the group’s on-site reservations (hotels, restaurants, transportation providers)
– In charge of the orientation meeting each morning before hitting the road
– An expert on must-see spots, favorite places, and hidden gems—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!

On-the-Road Coaching

Your guide has knowledge of mechanics and first-aid training; he will assist you on the road in case of a problem.

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

A wide variety of destinations and departure dates

More than 85 departure dates to choose from and more than 45 destinations

Lodging and Hotels

During your trip, you’ll stay at accommodations that have been specifically selected based on their locations, the quality of their offerings, and the hospitality they provide to cycling guests.

Depending on your trip, you will stay in two-, three-, or four-star hotels, sharing a room with another guest. Subject to availability, you may pay a supplement if you would like a private room. Please mention this when making your reservation.

All accommodations include breakfast and some dinners (excluding beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). For other meals, you’re free to choose whatever suits you along the way.

Transportation and Transfers

During your trip, we make sure that the transportation process and transfers are as simple and efficient as possible.

Included in your trip:

– Airfare for the passenger and their bicycle (for certain destinations), as well as transportation between the airport and the hotel, both on the outbound and return trips;
– Round-trip coach transportation (for certain destinations), as well as bicycle transport.
– Internal transfers by coach or train, ferry rides, and domestic flights between stopover cities (if applicable)
– Advice on how to pack your bike for transport.

Land portion: You can purchase only the land portion of our trips, which excludes airfare for you and your bike. If you select this option, you are responsible for your own transportation when you are not with the group.

Bicycle and Luggage Transport

Every day, your luggage (one piece per person: maximum 20 kg when traveling by air; 15 kg when not traveling by air) will be delivered to your hotel without you having to worry about a thing. On transfer days or days off, your bike will also be transported.

Maps and GPX Data

Every day, you hit the road at a time and pace that suits you. With the route maps in PDF format and the electronic GPX files at your fingertips, you have all the tools you need to explore your daily route at your own pace, with complete peace of mind about which path to take.

Please note that GPX data is not available for our trips to Cuba.

Additional options available

In addition to the package you choose, we also offer additional options that you can select when you make your reservation.

Would you like to extend your trip by a few days? Thanks to our extensive network of hotel partners, we can book accommodations for you before or after your trip so you can make the most of your stay.

Event Package

Is cycling your passion, and do you want to share it with hundreds—or even thousands—of others who are just as passionate as you? Come join us at our cycling tourism events! Every year, many families introduce their youngest children to bike travel during the “ Petite aventure,” while experienced cyclists gather 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 ” and the “Grand Tour” change, but the fun remains the same.

Lodging and Meals

Several lodging options are available during the Grand Tour: either the traditional camping experience, or—for added comfort after a great day of cycling—a hotel stay with all the comforts of home! At the Petite aventure, everyone stays at the village campground to ensure an exceptional atmosphere!

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

Marked Trail

The routes for our events are 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 deviations 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 in addition to bike lanes. It is therefore essential to follow the rules of the road!

On-the-Road Coaching

Our support team is made up of expert cycling coaches who can help you through technical or physical challenges—or simply offer words of encouragement!
