Questions
Most of our routes are gentle river and lake paths. The Sicily tour is rated moderate, but e-bikes make the hills and longer days much easier. Tell us about your riding and we'll suggest the right tour.
An e-bike is a normal bicycle with a small motor that helps when you pedal. You still ride, but climbs and headwinds feel far lighter, so you can enjoy the scenery instead of worrying about the distance.
Our group departures, including Rome & Sicily and Prague → Dresden, have a CYC tour leader with the group. Other routes can be arranged for private groups.
