For nearly 30 years, Outfitter Bicycle Tours has been crafting exceptional cycling experiences in the United States and Europe. Specializing in bike tours in France, Italy, and the United States, we focus on the regions we know and love, so you get a deeper, more personal travel experience. Whether you’re dreaming of climbing the legendary cols of the French Alps, sipping Pinot Noir in the vineyards of Burgundy, coasting along the lavender-lined routes of Provence, or pedaling through the sun-drenched roads of Tuscany, we’ve got the perfect adventure for you.

From self-guided and small-group itineraries to guided group tours, we design and curate private custom trips for riders of all levels; from casual cyclists to avid roadies.

There’s no better way to experience a new place than from the seat of a bicycle. It’s active, immersive, and allows you to truly connect with the landscapes, flavors, and cultures around you.

Ready to ride? We’re ready to help you plan a seamless, unforgettable journey tailored to your pace, style, and interests.

About Us

We are a family company. Outfitter Bicycle Tours was founded in 1996 by Dick and Marilyn Powell as an extension of their bike shop in Los Altos, California. It was an expression of their passion for cycling, travel, and exploration. We, Jamie & Joy Gilpin, have continued that passion and look to expand the legacy in the years to come.

Alejandro & Carolina Holder: Custom Self Guided Tour

“We enjoyed so much that it is difficult to describe.”

Dwayne H.: Custom Self Guided Tour

“Fantastic tour. The routes were all exceptionally well planned…. If you want to have a great, well planned, supported bike adventure, look no further. We changed to this company at the last minute. Great decision.”

Geri M.: Guided Mountain Tour

“The support was incredible – so nice to have a car on the route for water, and so we did not have to lug gear for weather changes. With all the elevation, this was comforting. Exceptional mechanical support. We did not expect this kind of on-road support!”

The Hartman Family: Custom Self Guided Tour

“The careful and excellent detailed preplanning, reservations, and auxiliary service were well done and made our trip easy and seamless!”

Christina C.: Guided family tour in Tuscany

“Outfitters provided high-touch, personalized service when planning our guided tour to Chianti, Italy. Our guide, Bruno, was a world class rider and knew the region like his own back yard. Road support was always minutes away, whether we needed it or not. An e-bike was magically delivered to my 11-year-old daughter on day 3, when the climbs had become too difficult for her. We had wonderful service and support from Outfitters and I highly recommend them.”

Dennis Orpilla: Guided Climbing Tour – Tour de France

“The team at the Outfitter Bicycle Tours put together an amazing holiday that I’ll never forget. We had great places to stay/eat and we were always in the thick of the action. The tour rides catered for riders of all levels and we somehow managed to visit my favourite team on a tour ride! I’ll be back to do it all again soon.”
