Is your spouse or friend interested in joining you on the trip but not interested in cycling? We can make arrangements to enable them to also enjoy the tour while you’re on the bike. This option is limited to one spot/tour, and will be only be on selected tours. The non-cyclist rides in the luggage van (along with the luggage driver) between the overnight stops of the tour, which are each wonderful destinations with plenty to see and do. They may also make stops at interesting spots on the way to the day’s final destination, as time permits. Another option is that your spouse/friend could hire a car for the week, especially if there is another non-rider interested in sharing. All the same services (lodging, luggage transport, admission to all sites, etc.) are provided to someone choosing this option, but since bikes are not needed, a discount is provided. If you are interested in any of these arrangements, we will assist in the logistics.

I will admit it took some time for me to sign on for a non-riding participant because I could not imagine what was I going to do while everyone was riding. I am so very thankful I went because it was one of the best travel adventures I’ve had. It was an opportunity to immerse in the culture, see a lot of the countryside, explore the villages, get to know the other travelers, hike, eat and some non-riding adventures. It was a blast. The schedule was full but not packed. We met up with the riders for some of the sightseeing and the off day was spectacular with a hike that gained me over 30,000 steps. (Some people got massages instead.) The planning was buttoned up and nothing was left to chance. One of the very best experiences I have had and I would recommend to anyone who wants a memorable trip.
