Here's the lowdown on our new tours in our Ciclismo Classico Collection of the World's Best Tours.
Gran Canaria
 The Canary Islands is another unique Ciclismo Destination Creation. Its challenging volcanic slopes, broad deserts, cool forests, dramatic coastlines, and countless captivating little villages perfectly fit the Ciclismo Collection criteria of dreamiest and most amazing bike rides on the planet. All in a warm, always-mild Atlantic Ocean climate that allows for a virtually year-round riding ground. For cyclists, it's a slice of heaven. Ciclismo Classico is the first bicycle tour operator to offer this unique island destination. It's now a slice of value, too. In seven days, you'll cover much of the island and see most of its most fascinating locations. And with your expert native guide, the only real work you'll do is pedal. More info | Request itinerary
Normandy - Cider, Calvados, & Coastlines
 Cycling the hills, plains, and coastlines of the Norman countryside sounds like a slice of heaven to us. This is a region of great beauty and tranquil ways, yet it has witnessed two of the most pivotal events in world history: the Norman Conquest and the D-Day invasion. Your native guide will bring it all alive to you, escorting you to out-of-the- way delights, introducing you to the gentle people of rural Normandy and of course offering you tastes of Normandy's finest food and drink. Allons-y! More info | Request itinerary
French Alps to French Riviera
 It's said that the Alps will make or break a cycling champion. You don't need to pedal like you're worthy of the yellow jersey on this new Ciclismo tour, but you'll definitely come to know the satisfaction of riding world-class terrain. And once you conquer the Alps, we'll treat you to the French Rivera at the end of your itinerary. But don't worry-it won't be all work. Our guides know how to break at just the right places and times to not only give you a breather, but also show you unexpected delights that only French alpine natives know about. (Maiden voyage pricing not available on this tour.) More info | Request itinerary
Northern Portugal - Wine & Wheels
 Portugal's northernmost reaches lie well off the well-worn tourist pathways-which makes this region ideally suited for a cycling tour in the Ciclismo style! Ride though fabulous landscapes and far-reaching history in the Minho, Lima, and Douro River valleys with native guides pointing out the "local's Portugal" that you'd otherwise miss. And throughout your itinerary, you can look forward to sampling the wines of this beautiful land, from vinho verde to the nation's signature tipple, port. More info | Request itinerary
Fun in the Sardinian Sun
 For variety, the only thing that tops Sardegna's blend of Italian, Roman, and Phoenician heritages is its range of diversions for active families. It's one of our family's favorite cycling destinations on earth and I take my family regularly. Share the experiences on wheels, on trails, in boats, and on islets in the refreshing waters of the Mediterranean Sea. You'll stay in only two hotels, so you and your crew can spend less time packing and unpacking, more time having a great time! More info | Request itinerary
Provence pour la Famille
 Families have responded so favorably to our Tuscan Fantasy tour that we spread out our maps and charted an all-new, all-in-the-family trip in Provence! You and your clan will stay for six nights in Saint Remy de Provence, unpacking just once and setting off each day in a new direction for a new adventure of sight, sound and scent. Your native guides will handle all the details, so you'll be free to ride, recharge your batteries and reconnect with those nearest and dearest to you. More info | Request itinerary
With these new trips plus our classics, you'll be spoiled for choice! (And of course, you can always design your own trip!) At Ciclismo Classico, we have a singular mission when it comes to our distinct collection of bicycle tours: To offer the Dreamiest and Most
Amazing Bike Rides on the Planet. So start (or keep) filing your bike tour bucket. Place your deposit now to be sure you get the date that works best for you at the best price available. Call one of our tour consultants on 800-866-7314 to get started!
