Private & custom trips

Private & custom trips

Many trips can be made private or custom.

Prefer not to be part of a group, or have a group of your own? Our knowledge of France and our network of contacts build the trip you want — and our agreements with the race organisers mean it can include access to the Tour de France and La Vuelta.

What can be arranged
  • VIP access to the grand tours
  • Wine tasting
  • Villa rentals
  • Cooking classes
  • Bike rentals
  • Train booking
  • Museums
  • A guide to drive

A Grand Tour at your own pace

Follow the race in France, Italy or Spain with the days in between built around you — sightseeing, wine country, a villa for the week.

Your club, your stages

From a handful of friends to a 30-rider club: the climbs you want, support vehicles, mechanics and a hotel at the finish.

Talk to us about a group

Each private trip is different, so we can only take on so many at a time. Inquire early — with your dates, group, riding plans, budget and the kind of hotels you like.

Planning a private trip:

Your dates, how many people are coming and who they are (adults, children, couples, singles), whether you plan to ride and roughly how many miles a day, what you want to see and do — including any behind-the-scenes access — the budget you have in mind, and the level of hotel you are looking for. With that we can draft a schedule and work out the details with you.

No. Many private trips are built for spectators, and in mixed groups the non-riders get their own programme while the riders are out. If you do ride, we tailor the daily distance to the group.

Yes. Our agreements with the race organisers let us include VIP access to the Tour de France and La Vuelta — start villages, finish lines, the podium — in a private programme.

We only run trips where we provide a guide to drive or navigate trains. Our experience shows that driving, parking and getting to the VIP viewing venues can be very confusing, so our experienced guides and vehicle accreditations are very important.

As early as you can. Each private trip is built from scratch and we only take on a limited number per season, so the earlier we talk, the more we can arrange.

Dates, who is coming and what you want to see — a person answers, usually within a business day.
