Fully supported and self guided cycling holidays in some of the best regions of Europe. Quiet roads and fantastic scenery and food.
Green Jersey British & Continental Cycling Tours, scheduled and bespoke cycling holidays. Our fully supported itineraries pass through the most interesting places in this wonderful country. Luggage transfers, half board in family hotels, quiet lanes. Our bike vacations range from 4 days up to 17 days, and from an ‘easy’ grading through to ‘difficult’ so there is something for everyone. We have sev
eral end to end itineraries in the UK, France and Spain, as well as regional itineraries exploring most pasts of France including Brittany, Normandy, Picardy, the Loire Valley, Alsace and the Vosges, Bordeaux wine country and we also have several long distance trips including Channel to the Mediterranean, Loire Source to Sea and the length of the Atlantic Coast. Our itineraries are carefully planned and ridden by us to ensure that nothing is left to chance and that there are plenty of sights along the way for you to enjoy. One of specialities is battlefield tours to Normandy, Arnhem and the Western Front; there is no better way to explore than by bike! These are also popular as corporate or group rides, providing historical interest, exercise, a change of scene and an ideal chance to bond, or to thank your clients. The hotels are chosen on their welcome and the quality of the food and breakfast, not whether they have a flat screen TV or not. Our aim is to show you the best of our destinations and to ensure that you have a comfortable night’s sleep afterwards.
We’ve just ridden our Berlin to Munich route - new for 2025. It was incredibly hot but amazingly beautiful and some wonderful overnight stops including Dresden, Karlovy Vary and Regensberg as well as some lovely small places. German hospitality was generous and kind, and the drivers courteous (although not much traffic). A great ride and wonderful to have ridden it in preparation.
