Misty M.: Self-Guided in Provence & Guided in the French Alps

“WOW! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE ADVENTURE!!! Jamie and Joy Gilpin and their team created one of the most memorable bike tours we’ve experienced. Having biked worldwide, my husband and I were impressed by how well planned Outfitter Bicycle Tours is. Every detail—from accommodations to expert mechanical support and fun with fellow riders—was perfect. We’re already planning our next tour. HIGHLY recommend Outfitter Bicycle Tours!!”

Geoff Harris: Guided TdF Tour

I always wanted to see the Tour de France, and I’ve now gone on three trips with Outfitter Bicycle Tours. Jamie and Joy’s friendly, flexible approach made riding in the Alps incredible. They tailored routes to my pace, offered great support in bad weather, and ensured we stayed in lovely accommodations with good food. Overall, one of the best values for a cycling tour.

Mathew B: Self-Guided Tuscany Tour

“…We were not disappointed. In fact, we were absolutely delighted! Our eight-day, self-guided Tuscany tour was one our most memorable holidays ever. While self-guided, we benefited daily from the sage advice of Outfitter Tours’s local representative who met us every morning to pick up our luggage and review that day’s suggested itinerary. His extensive local knowledge allowed him to make suggestions for small detours for restaurants or other places worth a look. His advice was invaluable and made our tour that much more enjoyable. And considering the quality of accommodations and accompanying dinners, the tour offered great value for money spent.”

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.”

Veronique M.: Self Guided

It was amazing! It was well organized and Bruno did a very good job. He is a nice guy, we really enjoy our trip. The hotels were great, cities and routes were very very nice. Thank you, we have really enjoyed our vacation by bike!

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.”

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.”
