Cycling Group Tours offer you the perfect opportunity to explore the world on two wheels while also making new friendships.

At GoTuro, we specialise in providing you with unforgettable travel experiences that combine adventure, culture, and relaxation.

Compared to individual cycling tours, guided group cycling tours have the advantage that you don't have to worry about a thing. The route planning, luggage transport, and accommodation are already arranged, allowing you to focus entirely on cycling and the camaraderie. The social aspect plays a central role: shared experiences strengthen the bonds and create unforgettable memories. Learn more about the benefits of group tours.
The popularity of group cycling tours is easy to explain: They offer stress-free organisation, safety and guidance by experienced tour leaders, as well as the chance for social interaction. At GoTuro, we place great emphasis on ensuring our journeys are not only active but also relaxing and inspiring. We want you to enjoy the beauty of nature, discover new cultures, and make new friendships at the same time. Velociped also offers guided group tours, where sociability is paramount.
Tailor-made cycling tours for every target group
The variety of target audiences for cycling group tours is large. At GoTuro, we have adapted to meet different needs. For solo travellers, we offer special tours that allow you to make new connections and share experiences. Launer Reisen, for example, offers guided cycling tours for singles, where the social aspect is a priority. There are also suitable options for seniors and those aged 50+, featuring leisurely tours with e-bike support. The routes are tailored to the needs of older cyclists, allowing longer distances to be covered with ease.
Families and small groups benefit from our bespoke tour planning and support. We ensure that the routes are child-friendly and include a variety of activities, making the cycling holiday an unforgettable experience for the whole family. Our customers particularly appreciate the safety and comfort we provide. Luggage transport and high-quality accommodations ensure a carefree travel experience. Additionally, an emergency contact number and personal tour guidance are available should any issues arise. radreisen.at also emphasises the importance of personal tour guidance.
In addition to safety and comfort, we place great emphasis on experience and enjoyment. Our culinary cycling tours combine cycling with regional specialities, offering you the opportunity to discover local cuisine. Authentic encounters with local people round off the travel experience. Velontour, for example, incorporates cosy huts and restaurants into their tours to highlight the culinary aspect. Biketeam Radreisen values authentic experiences and cultural immersion to create unforgettable memories for you.
Diverse cycling tours: From river cycle paths to e-bike adventures
The world of group cycling tours is diverse and offers the right option for every taste. Classic cycling tours along rivers like the Danube and the Elbe are particularly popular, as they offer flat terrain, making them ideal for leisurely cyclists and families. These routes allow you to explore the picturesque landscapes at a relaxed pace and unwind. Star tours, where you stay in one accommodation and undertake daily excursions from there, offer you flexibility and comfort. You can explore the surroundings at your own pace and return to your familiar accommodation in the evening.
Round trips, on the other hand, offer you varied routes with different stages, where you can continually discover new landscapes and cultures. This type of cycling holiday is perfect for those seeking variety and who enjoy discovering new places. A special form of group cycling holiday is the bike and ship tours, which combine cycling with a river cruise. You relax onboard a ship and actively explore the river landscapes by bike. Popular routes can be found on the Danube, the Rhine, and other rivers. Eurobike offers a variety of bike and ship tours, as does Velontour.
For less experienced cyclists and seniors, e-bike tours are an excellent option. The assistance of electric motors enables you to tackle longer and more challenging tours. This way, you can enjoy the scenery without overexerting yourself. Themed tours give you the opportunity to combine your interests with cycling. For example, culinary cycling tours combine cycling with regional specialties, offering you a feast for all the senses. On cultural tours, you visit historical sites and cultural highlights, immersing yourself in the history and traditions of the region. radreisen.at also offers e-bike tours, as does fahrradreisen-wanderreisen.de.
Seamless organisation for relaxed bike tours
A smooth organisation is essential for a successful cycling group tour. At GoTuro, we place great emphasis on detailed route planning and offer you comprehensive map materials, as well as GPS tracks and apps for navigation. The difficulty levels of the tours vary, so there is a suitable option for every fitness level. Eurobike offers its own app for navigation. radreisen.at and Launer Reisen offer tours in various difficulty levels.
In route planning, we also consider the group dynamics and select suitable routes for mixed groups. Regular breaks and individual adaptation options ensure that every participant has a rewarding experience. Another important aspect is the luggage transport. We ensure that your luggage is transported from one accommodation to another, so you can cycle without a care. The accommodations are comfortable and bike-friendly, ranging from cosy guesthouses to 4-star hotels. Natours also offers comfortable accommodations.
The support and guidance from experienced tour guides with local knowledge is another advantage of our group cycling tours. Our guides assist with breakdowns and problems and organise excursions and activities. Additionally, an emergency number and 24-hour service are available to ensure your safety. radreisen.at emphasises the importance of an emergency number and personal travel guidance. Velontour offers accommodations from cosy guesthouses to 4-star hotels.
Sustainable Cycling Tours: Responsibility for Environment and Society
Sustainability and responsibility play an important role in our cycling group tours. We focus on eco-friendly travel and avoid unnecessary emissions. To achieve this, we encourage travel by train or bus and offer you the opportunity to offset your CO2 emissions. Additionally, we support local businesses by purchasing regional products and services and promoting sustainable tourism. Natours also relies on sustainable tourism and offsets CO2 emissions.
Social responsibility is also important to us. We ensure small group sizes to minimise the impact on the environment and local populations. Respecting nature and culture comes naturally to us. We also value fair working conditions and collaborate with local partners who pay fair wages. We support social projects in the countries we visit to make a positive contribution. Wikinger Reisen also focuses on small group sizes to minimise environmental impact.
We believe that cycling holidays are not only an active and relaxing way to travel but also can contribute to sustainability. By choosing environmentally friendly modes of transport, supporting local businesses, and taking on social responsibility, we aim to provide you with a travel experience that benefits not only you but also the environment and the local people. Our cycling group tours are therefore an investment in a sustainable future.
How to find the ideal provider for your cycling tour
Choosing the right provider is crucial for a successful cycling group tour. When making your decision, consider the provider's experience and expertise. A company with many years of experience in cycling trips and qualified tour leaders and guides is generally a good choice. Eurobike has extensive experience in cycling tours. Biketeam Radreisen focuses on qualified tour leaders and guides.
Transparency and customer reviews also play an important role. Detailed information about routes, accommodations, and services, as well as reviews and experiences from other travellers, provide valuable insights into the quality of the offerings. Additionally, pay attention to the provider's flexibility and customisation. Do they offer you the opportunity to tailor the tours to your individual needs, and do you receive personalised advice and support?

E-bikes and customization are shaping the future of bicycle tours
The group cycling tours are currently undergoing a dynamic transformation, shaped by various trends and future prospects. A significant factor is the e-bike boom. The rising demand for e-bike tours allows a wider audience to tackle longer and more challenging routes. However, this also requires adjustments to the infrastructure to meet the needs of e-bikers, such as charging stations and dedicated routes. E-bikes have revolutionised the way we experience cycling tours, opening up new opportunities for active leisure.
Another important trend is individualisation and flexibility. Group tours are becoming increasingly personalised, with routes and activities tailored to the needs of the group. The combination of guided tours and individual exploration allows travellers to discover the world in their own way. Sustainable tourism is also playing a growing role. Awareness of environmental and social responsibility is increasing, leading to rising demand for sustainable travel options and eco-friendly practices. Promoting local tourism and the regional economy is a key focus.
Furthermore, technological innovations are shaping the future of cycling tours. Digital travel guides and apps offer travellers GPS navigation, route planning, and information about attractions. Connecting travellers and sharing experiences is facilitated by digital platforms. At GoTuro, we closely observe these developments and continuously adapt our offerings to the needs of our customers. Our group cycling tours are therefore not only an active and relaxing travel experience but also a contribution to a sustainable and responsible form of tourism.
