What we’re about
Have you wondered what it would be like to travel on a bike and barge tour? Join this group and discover why it’s the best way to experience Europe on a bike. We’ll prepare you to travel smart, make new friends, and enjoy a memorable journey!
We're also featuring bike tours that are land-based, meaning that your accommodations are in lovely hotels rather than on ships. This way we can offer even more destinations, including many that are worthy of a visit, but not accessible with barges.
