Create your own tour, personalized for you. Your tour is self-guided but fully supported in the amazing Dordogne and Lot regions of Southwest France, some of the finest cycling in the world. A wonderful way to go, good for families or groups of friends, or a "honeymoon" with just the two of you. You choose your tour schedule, itinerary and accommodations. We have 9 tour options, including new Get Away 3, 4, 5 & 6 night options for our one and two hotel Loop Tours. We have two aggressive options for our Dordogne & Lot tours as well a 14 Day 13 Night option and a Budget 5 Night without dinners. All can be customized to fit your specific needs. Just call or email and we can help you create the perfect cycling holiday in the world's best cycling region! 3, 4, 5 night, 6 night, 7 night, 10 & 13 nights, just waiting for you to customize. Each tour is priced using great, but reasonably priced places, with outstanding food! You may choose to have less dinners included, lower price options including B&B (Chambre d’Hote in French terms), or can upgrade to all 4 star level. The Dordogne and Lot have it all, plus amazing prehistory sites like Lascaux, Pech Merle and Villars to name a few, plus medieval fortresses high on the cliffs overlooking the beautiful river valleys of the region, the Dronne, Vezere, Dordogne and Lot. Mention Dordogne to any Frenchman and they immediately respond "Oh the food, and the scenery, magnifique!". Marilyn and I love Provence, Italy and other areas of Europe, but the Dordogne is home and the best of all! The 9 basic options follow. Click on the underlined tours for more details.

A note from Dick & Marilyn: Bike touring has been our passion since we started taking bicycle vacations in 1972. We had our first bike vacation in France in 1985 and that eventually led us to start Outfitter Bicycle Tours and Dordogne - Lot Tours in 1996. We owned a professional bike store, The Bicycle Outfitter, in Los Altos, California, for 28 years, 1976 through August 2004, so we know bicycling. Bicycle vacations are now our entire focus, a dream come true. We even have a home in France where we live half the year, which allows us to really keep our tours fresh and on the low end of the price scale. If you do not find what you want on our web site we have a listing of tour companies in the navigator on the left, Bike Travel & Tour Links. Below are more photos from our past tours.
