Indigenous Peoples' Day is an opportunity to center the rich histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples and communities throughout the world—like the Kaibab Paiute Tribe in the American Southwest.

Thanks to our guides Ollie and Zach for sharing.

We launched our Norway Bike Tour just last year, and all 7 departures completely sold out. It's no wonder, with a breadth of local experiences you won't find with any other bike tour operator—like foraging for wild mushrooms and a positively dreamy fjord-side lunch at home with a sommelier.

The good news? We've got a brand new batch of departures in July and August 2025 that are ready to reserve right now. (By the way, did we mention it's super easy to book yourself online?)

Guided weeklong bike tours from Alesund. Ride to Hjorundfjord, UNESCO Geirangerfjord, and Trollstigen. Stay at luxury Scandinavian hotels.

There are plenty of ways to narrow down options for your next vacation—why not let your interests help you pick? In our opinion, nothing's more relaxing than a trip where you only have to unpack once. Instead of re-arranging your suitcase, you're settling in and spending every precious minute enjoying the amenities at hotels like Troutbeck and Coquillade Provence (or on a private yacht in Greece and Turkey).

Grounding your stay in a single accommodation better conveys a sense of place. And because our bike tours cover a good bit of ground, you don't ave to sacrifice seeing it all. Use our Tour Finder to browse the full list of tours with a single hotel (or change the filter and search by even more interests!)

Search by destination, riding level, travel dates, and interests to find the bike tour best-suited to your needs. Or browse and get inspired!

Forbes has been tracking the meteoric rise of active travel, and mountain bike tours are coming out on top: "Of the top luxury tour operators I have traveled with and know are excellent... only DuVine—a winner of Travel + Leisure's World’s Best Awards again for 2024—has made the leap. They just added their first ever scheduled group mountain bike trip, an epic 6-day itinerary in South Africa."

And if you're wondering why we chose South Africa to lead the charge into MTB, our founder Andy Levine says it best: "South Africa hits home runs on so many levels. This trip is world class, over the top. For what we do—bike, eat, drink, sleep—it’s a 10+++."

"From the first moment I descended into Cape Town with views of Table Mountain from the airplane window, I loved it all: the soulful way townships welcomed us with open arms, the Chenin Blanc from Jordan Wines that rivaled any Old World wine, and the huge smile on my face as I found my MTB legs on single track trails."

In our founder Andy's own words, our South Africa Mountain Bike Tour is a 10/10. His visit last winter was among his favorite trips of the year, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the Rainbow Nation through the lens of locals. Follow in his footsteps: departures in November + December 2024 and February + March 2025 are ready to book.

Magical, vibrant, and enchanting: Morocco’s singular spirit will captivate you.

Often called the "Hawaii of Europe," the Azores remain an under-the-radar choice for seriously gorgeous cycling—think lush tropical flora, brilliant blue skies, and an unusual landscape shaped by volcanic activity. 🌋🏝️

São Miguel Island is one of Portuguese guide Pedro Freitas' favorite places to bike: “At Level 3, this tour can sometimes be a challenge, but it's incredibly rewarding. Beyond the riding, we also spend so much time getting to know the locals, from a PhD microbiologist who explains the science of tea to a sommelier who takes us through a tasting of island-grown wines. The beauty of this place is rare and breathtaking."

There’s biking in Tuscany. And then there's a weeklong tour through rolling Italian countryside during the height of harvest season.

This ephemeral time of year means we offer only two annual departures of our Tuscany Harvest Bike Tour: join us in October to catch the raccolta (annual olive harvest) and taste just-pressed olio nuovo, hunt for black and white truffles in ancient oak forests, and join a celebratory feast at home with our local friends—you'll be sampling cinghiale (wild boar) and sipping Super Tuscans late into the evening.

Whether you’re a food-obsessed cyclist or just want to experience Italy in new ways, this is the trip you'll be talking about for years. Use the link in bio to book:
