Absolutely loved riding in Colombia with TBT. Incredible country with good roads, tons of bikers, incredible scenery, and endless climbs. Ride leaders, logistical support, and the Thompson experience from start to finish was flawless. I will be back for as many trips as my legs will allow!

The Gran Canaria trip was some of the most beautiful yet difficult climbs and descents I have ever experienced. Every route was a unique experience offering endless breathtaking views. The Thomson team does a wonderful job with preparation and support and the food (both in hotel and support) was top notch!

Great riding - challenging but doable. Riding with the Thomson staff is always a pleasure and will improve anyone's cycling.

The support and extra effort made by Gerard and Tito was amazing. The drivers and other support staff were amazing. I was so well looked after the entire trip. From logistics, accommodation, food, support etc etc - just everything . I joined the trip with an allergy to Gluten and this was so well looked after I had no issues whatsoever. An incredible trip and incredible staff. Thanks to all

The best Thomson trip I've ever done.

This trip was a gift from my wife which I had never expected. As a life long cycling fan from North America, to experience "holy week" of the spring classics in France, Belgium and the Netherlands was epic. The Thomson experience was a tour de force.

Me parecio una empresa maravillosa. El staff es impresionante e inspirador.

This was everything that we could have possibly imagined for the spring classics. The tour was perfectly organized and run. The range of experiences for the races really gave you an overall sense of every part. I’m I live long cycling fan and this was a trip of a lifetime. The entire staff was fabulous.

My Springs Classics experience with Thomson Tours was everything I had hoped for and more. The team were friendly, professional and did everything they could to ensure I enjoyed this trip of a lifetime.

Being cold and wet makes this one of the great cycling experiences of a lifetime. The trip where you want it to be "stay in your hotel" weather. It's the Classics! Up close with the riders on the Paterberg, in the infield at the Roubaix Velodrome, and challenging yourself to sprint to the corner to start a cobbled climb.... the spring classics are the real deal and the measure of every cyclist. Thomson makes them come alive with their access, planning, and support. A trip like no other and a must do for every cyclist!

I could not have imagined just how care free a trip could be. Thomson did it all for me. Race registrations, packet pick ups, transport, race viewing passes, food and nutrition while riding, AND the guides were at the front of the group taking all the wi d everyday and making sure to get some glamour shots of us riding as well. Then, while we were tired out and getting ready for dinner, the tireless crew cleaned and maintained the bikes for the next day. Chapeau!

Such an iconic experience for the Spring Classics. Having viewed and admired these events from afar for my entire cycling life to riding and experiencing them in VIP fashion will be forever remembered. The ease by which such a challenging experience was delivered is a testament to the professionalism of the entire team, from Thomson to the attendees themselves. Great people, great attitudes, great riding, and a true bucket list item achieved. As the Thomson motto suggests, "Let's go again!"

As my second trip with Thomson, the constant has been the quality of the guides and their overall professionalism. Besides being amazing cyclists and bike mechanics, Llibert and Arnau really attend to clients needs and look to make the best experience possible for everyone on and off the bike.

Thomson gave us a wonderful experience in Portugal. It's a fantastic country for cycling. The scenery, food, weather and people are outstanding. I look forward to another visit.

Sergi and Robert made this trip excellent. They’re great!!! Nancy was massively organized. Her task was not easy dealing with me.

If you want to change your life, take a Thomson trip! All aspects of the trip were incredible and the impact of the experience will stay with you forever. The staff is supportive, knowledgeable, and communicative. They make the entire trip so positively impactful. The comradery and cycling is unmatched.

It was a fantastic trip, the experience of a lifetime. An unbelievable experience for my adult daughter and myself to share together. My wife also came as a non-rider and rode in the van every day and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. It was honestly one of the best trips we have ever taken and certainly one of the very most memorable!! A sincere thanks of gratitude to the entire Thomson staff that made this trip a possibility. Without a doubt will be riding with Thomson again!

Trip of a lifetime!!!!

Each day bought a new and spectacular ride that created many wow moments. The staff was patient, engaging and supportive. They made everyone feel comfortable. Great atmosphere and loads of fun!!

Great trip especially for those traveling together with different riding skills. Loved the options for each day. Thomson made traveling in a different country much easier and enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to others.

The Thomson Tour team was outstanding, the many logistical challenges were handled with aplomb, the personalities of your staff were upbeat, charming and funny. Chapeau to everyone involved, and thank you for making a dream come true.

The trip was spectacular. Outstanding staff, flawless coordination of the race viewing experience, and superb route selection. I think the ebike option on your trips is great and opens up the trips to a new population of riders.

Loved this trip and was originally hesitant about choosing e-bikes over road bikes but glad we did. The bikes we had were absolutely amazing and brand new. We haven’t stopped talking about the trip and it’s been almost a week since we finished!

E- bikes were excellent. Pere was superb. Weather was great. The climbs beyond belief - beer was wet.

Thomson Tours was absolutely amazing. The agenda provided does not even start to capture the essence of the trip. The staff made the trip an experience of a lifetime! The cycling was breathtaking and hard but the staff support made everything possible! 

This was a great trip for me. I am a 76 year old male that signed up for this tour and then went out and started training. This was a bucket item for me. With regard to the riding, the Thomson staff were great - they were helpful, encouraging, friendly.

As a non-rider, I did not expect focused attention. Yet, I thoroughly enjoyed Maria, our guide, as well as the terrific other non-riders of the tour group. We had beautiful outings. My husband was a performance rider and thoroughly enjoyed himself. We wholeheartedly recommend Thomson Bike Tours!

I can’t say enough good things about this trip. Our staff was amazing and very accommodating to the little quirks of our group. The hotels were very nice. The opportunities to view the tour were plentiful and exciting.

I would like to thank again all the Staff. They put a great effort to made this an unique trip and made us feel good and safe in his company. Hope to meet them again in future Thomson trips. Margarita

The trip with Thomson and its wonderful staff exceeded my expectations! The organization and logistics were flawlessly done. although i was in a group of a lot of people, i felt i very personal experience. the staff was outstanding in their support and most importantly, there number one priority was our safety. i appreciated that very much. Congratulations on putting together such a fine team.

Absolutely wonderful experience! The trip from beginning to end to us through some beautiful climbs and descents, and viewing areas for the tour. Having our own private areas for viewing was insane, a once in a lifetime experience. The staff was outstanding, very understanding, great guides, and just wonderful people. I wish I could do this trip all the time, it was truly my favorite trip I’ve ever done.

A dream come true for a family of TDF fans! Always felt supported through the rides and pushed to do our best. We are looking forward to booking out next dream trip.

Access to the Tour de France is incredible! I would never have gotten those experiences without this tour group! The staff were all incredible. I can’t express how amazing these people are! I do want to see the non-rider program developed to be an equivalent level experience as the rider program. Either that or don’t charge the same. Shout out to Maria for making the best out of what she had and having such patience for a very vocal group! She could really make the non-rider program spectacular!

The staff were great! Eager to help, always smiling, great attitude!

Thomson bike tours exceeded every expectation I had of what a bike tour could be. This trip fulfilled a 35 year desire I had to see the tour, and every aspect of the trip was first class. The guides often anticipated what we needed or desired, and this speaks to their experience, and professionalism. At times things were so fantastic that I was overcome with emotion, and joy because I couldn't believe what an excellent experience this was. The day after I returned home I woke up in bed, and wondered if I had dreamed the whole thing, it was truly that fantastic!

This was a great way to watch the last week of the Tour de France. The rides were a great way to have some idea of what the Tour riders experience. Thomson Tours is first class!

A spectacular adventure with many amazing rides, sights and experiences, good food, good accomodation and good fellowship and friendships. I thoroughly recommend it.

The Tour de France trip made our dream a reality. We had the time of our lives. Peter and team provided a gateway to a unique and magical experience. We’ll never forget it!

Best vacation in years! Completly worry-free from start to finish. Everything was well organized and the staff and guides were fantastic. The climbs were beautiful and viewing the Tour de France so up close was a dream come true! Thank you to the entire team. We'll be back for more!

The Thomson Week 3 K/QOM Trip was a bucket list experience for me, I had high expectations coming in and the Thomson team succeeded in delivering rides and an experience I will never forget, thank you.

Thomson Bike Tours are simply next level! I have gone with several other bike touring companies and have something to compare to. They have incredible guides and more of them, more great sag support that always seems to be right there when you need them, amazing routes and so many ride options, which is very unusual. There’s something for everyone. One of my friends was a non-rider, and she also had an incredible experience. VIP. treatment at the viewing of the TDF was incredible. It just couldn’t have gone any smoother or better. More of all, Peter Thomson is the most patient man I’ve ever met. He is unflappable! So professional! Great job to all. I already miss ss everyone.

Peter and his team are absolutely top-notch consummate professionals. I would recommend these trips to anyone looking to have an extraordinary experience both on and off the bicycle. Thank you!

Peter provided everything for a very memorable cycling tour, everything exceeded my expectations! I was first impressed by the willingness of the staff to assist and discuss any aspect of the trip. They knew the area, the roads, the epic locations. Their expert knowledge of cycling from mechanical, to technique and nutrition! The staff was very encouraging during ride signup and during each days ride. Within 2 days these were my friends! Truly a positive and Epic Adventure!

Thomson always delivers the best bike touring experience… great guides and support staff, all the riding you want, luxury hotels, and food tailored to fuel for the next days ride. The Tour de France access is as close as you can get …. Thanks for another great trip.

The experience was unbelievable! I wish I was better prepared for the climbing, and will definitely train more next time. The staff was great and everything ran smoothly. It was like summer camp for adults! I have dreamed of seeing the tour in person since I was 16…. It finally came true.

First class in every aspect, exceed my high expectations. The staff and crew are always patient helpful and friendly no matter the time of day or circumstances. The trip is perfectly organized I never felt concerned or confused always felt supported, and safe so I could focus on this once in a life time cycling experience.

This was a trip of a lifetime for me. All of the Thomson staff were very friendly and extremely organized. Peter has developed an amazing experience for any bike enthusiast!

Thomson Tours and Le Tour de France go hand-in-hand as the best of partners to create a once-in-a-lifetime (or maybe more if I'm lucky!) experience for amateurs and avid 'couch peleton' members like me! What a privilege to be a part of such a special event in such a fabulous way, seeing the country and feeling the excitement first-hand. Thank-you so much for your wonderful hospitality!

An enormous amount of fun. And grinding hard work, too. Non-Europeans will learn a lot about the different skills needed to do well on European roads, climbs, and descents. And cycling in the Pyrenees is a combination of beautiful, challenging, and ... developmental. My climbing speeds have improved as a consequence because (I think) one finds new thresholds, encouragement from the team, and just watching some of the leaders as they dance up a 11% gradient. It's inspiring. Peter Thomson runs a great operation and he's assembled a first-rate team. There's a positive attitude throughout and never a moment when I didn't think I was in good hands. Peter claims to be a man who likes a largely inflexible plan but he is, in fact, a pro at rolling with changes and challenges. Full points.

This trip met or exceeded every expectation my husband and I had! We do not have a lot of money, so this trip was a real "splurge" for us, and we are beyond glad we did it! Worth every penny! So well-organized! The Thomson team runs like a well-organized machine, catering to your every need. Would HIGHLY recommend to any and everyone! Kudos! Well-done! Thank you!!!

This was my 7th Thomson trip. They have been well organized. The staff is friendly,supportive and willing to help out with any issue. The TDF trips(3) have been my favorite, lots of energy and fun! I like the 3 ride levels as I'm a little older and it's nice to be able to ride with people of my level.

What an amazing, bucket list, experience! I said this was going to be a once in a lifetime experience but I am hoping to join Thomson Bike Tours again in the future!

The experience exceeding my expectations, especially as it concerned watching the TDF stages in person. The level of support Thomson provided was extraordinary.

I would highly recommend Thomson Tours for any rider considering a bike trip. I think that the trip was professionally run and a great deal of thought was put into covering all aspects of the riding experience as well as the fan experience when watching the Tour stages. The daily briefings of what to expect for the following day were very helpful to decide which ride to do and know how to plan the day. I also thought that the non-riders were well taken care of and they had a great time. Knowing my wife was having a great time made it much easier to enjoy myself on the rides.

I had a great time on the KOM TDF Week 1 Trip. The staff and overall organization of the trip was on point. The TDF viewing areas were fantastic and made the trip special. Having tents, food, & Live race viewing on TV’s on top of the Tourmalet was exceptional. The daily routes offered an array of options for different level of riders. I was also impressed that the staff allowed us to ride in the pouring rain in the Basque Country. I thought that was a very special experience to be with a group riding bikes in the pouring rain in the Basque Country. Then cross the finish line of the TDF. One of the highlights of the trip for me. I would easily do another bike trip with Thomson!

We had discussed a trip of this nature for a few years, and finally made the commitment choosing Thomson Bike Tours. Even after that much time of anticipation, this trip was able to exceed my expectations. The rides were exceptional, the race viewing was exceptional, and the staff was exceptional. My next goal is to find a way to make this once in a lifetime trip happen a second time. 😁✌🏻CHAPEAU!

It was everything I expected and a lot more. All you have to do is turn the pedals. Everything else was handled for you.

When we researched this trip we kept reading that it was a "trip of a lifetime." We wondered how on earth Thomson could deliver on such an incredibly high bar. Then truly, this was the very best trip of a lifetime!! Our incredible guides helped us accomplish rides that we couldn't believe we could and did do! The guides were encouraging, hard-working, and always there whenever we needed them! They were truly what made this trip unbelievable. The planning for the rides was meticulous and the rides were so challenging but perfect! The guides also taught us so much, even though we are very seasoned cyclists. The ride up to the top of the Grand Columbier was life-changing. Watching the tour from the top was incredible. We've tried other bike tours, but we were disappointed when we found that they were full of people who were not serious about cycling. When I was telling a guide about our experience, she turned around and said "Welcome to Thomson!" Amen!

The support overall was excellent before, during and after each ride. Access to the race was more than I expected. A dream come true for an old TDF fan.

Fantastic honeymoon, and we cannot wait to do another trip with Thomson Bike Tour! Every detail was thought through and we were able to ride and experience the TdF like real VIPs. Thank you!!

The ability of this team to meet each of us where we were and ensure a spectacular experience is unmatched. My husband and I had the trip of a lifetime. We both left feeling exhausted (in a good way) and inspired. When else could Gerry do 47000 ft of climbing in a week with the best guides and support possible? And how else could I see the Tour De France on three stops, front row....It was all amazing, and we are grateful.

Our Tour de France K/QOM week 2 trip totally lived up to our expectations of a dream vacation riding in France and being part of the crowd cheering on the pro riders. Thomson has top-notch staffing who make sure all riders are well-supported. The rental bikes were new and perfectly geared for the routes. Side note: I was happy that the E-bike riders were blended in with our group. I didn't realize that E-bikes didn't have to be as heavy and clunky looking as the ones I've seen around my town. It opened our eyes to the possibility that I could go on rides with my husband where we each have our own bike. We've been riding a DaVinci tandem for the past 20 years as our athletic abilities are so different. Plus, I found I had more in common (in regards to cycling) with the E-bike riders than those who were on traditional bikes. I was able to try out one of the E-bikes and loved it! Will you be selling any of your used E-bikes in the future? I may be a customer for one of them. :-) And last, please thank all of the team for accomodating me as a rider who was well out of my element even though the trip website noted that riders of varying abilities were welcomed. I knew that that the climbs were not a possibility for me on the non-E-bike trip and that I'd be braking a lot on the downhills. I rode very few miles, but still had a good biking experience. I met my goal of being on the same roads as the tour riders even if a good deal of the time I was riding in the van. The drivers and ride leaders helped me participate while staying in my comfort zone and they helped me improve my skills without neglecting any of the other riders. Thank you for making this such a special week!

The rides were epic, both in name & as experienced. The French Alps might be the most beautiful setting in the world! The ride leaders were fun, friendly, & provided physical & emotional assistance as needed. Access to the finish line, podium, & departure village provided exciting encounters on course & with the racers.

Just a fantastic experience for anyone who loves cycling.

This was the trip of a lifetime, the incredible service and bikes provided by Thomson Tours made you concentrate in living the Tour de France experience to the maximum!!! The locations for the rides and hotels are without match and the whole team supports you all the way making you feel safe and cared all the way. The viewing of the actual race is amazing with food, drinks and all you can need to be in the middle of the action with all the fans. This is an experience for real cycling lovers and nobody does it better than Thomson.

We absolutely loved this trip, worth every penny! Feel in love with the incredible staff, amazing routes, access to the tour. It was a trip of a lifetime and we plan to go again!

A truly life-changing trip of a lifetime. It was mind-blowing to ride the same roads as the competitors and glide over their painted names, below the official Sprint and KoM arches and through the cheering crowds. As a cycling fan it was absolutely incredible. The Thomson staff were so skilled, knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely coming back next year and bringing friends and family to share the experience.

"I lived a dream, that I didn't even know I was dreaming!" At a time in my life when I was feeling beaten down, this tour opened to an experience that was truly epic, at the most perfect timing for me. I don't remember how I even found this tour company. When I heard about the Tour de France Femmes racing, it was something I felt I wanted to be apart of. I was not able to make the first year of Tour de France Femmes, but the second-year life seemed to open this availability to me. The Thomson tour for Tour de France Femmes was absolutely amazing. The scenery was so captivating. The detail in the roads we were riding on, the accommodations, food, getting to the Tour de France Femmes races, the guides with all their support was out of this world. The guides were so inspiring with their abilities, their love for what they were doing, their constant encouragement and praise. My riding skills have increased tremendously since this tour. It has given me more confidence in my own abilities of cycling, caring for my bike, and even welcoming new languages. I want to thank Thomson Bike Tours for putting this cycling tour together for the Tour de France Femmes. I hope to be apart of this tour company again, and cheer on the Femmes.

Non stop Epic to the power 10. Kinda like a 10.0 earthquake but funner.

I had a great trip, incredible staff and incredible climbs. Thanks

Amazing trip in all aspects: riding, support, guides and experience exceeded my expectations. I would love to do another trip again with Thomson!

The Thomsons EPIC Trans-Alps ticks all the boxes. Massively challenging, great climbs in a beautiful region, a superb support crew who enjoy the trip as much as the participants, and excellent hotels. It's a very well organised tour that ensures the riders thoroughly enjoy the entire experience.

My second trip with Thomson and the staff and service were again second to none! The scenery of the Swiss Alps cannot be beat. Beautiful roads on challenging climbs and exhilarating descents, day after stunning day!

Overall, the trip was great. Llibert was a great leader and I would not hesitate to recommend Thomson Bike Tours to other riders.

The Epic Swiss trip adhered to the Thomson formula: good hotels, good food, amazing riding. The staff did an excellent job supporting the riders throughout the trip which to me is the most valuable aspect of a Thomson trip.

I had recently retired, after 28 years as a firefighter/paramedic, and this was a retirement gift. This trip delivered a very challenging week, but also very rewarding to know the accomplishments made during the trip. Shortly after finishing the week of riding; I could not wait to start the next trip. This was an absolutely incredible experience. Thank you again to Llibert, Guillem, Thibaout, Dani and Adria. They all did a great job, and willing to assist at time they were needed.

This trip was filled with everything I could ask for. Nice accommodations, great support and perfectly curated ride routes through magnificent country. This trip checked all the boxes and left me with a great experience.

The Swiss Alps were part glamour, part scenery but certainly very challenging. The rides were well studied with an excellent ratio of distance/climbing.

Gran Canaria is a fantastic Island to ride in the early season. The climbs are challenging and the views spectacular. The Thomson crew made the trip fantastic and fun. I would definitely join them again in the future.

An amazing trip on of all types of gravel mixed with just the right amount of tarmac. The route was exceptional and traversed through stunning Scottish scenery. Along with the great Thomson support makes Gravel Scotland an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Thomson exceeded expectations on every front. Well done.

This was my twelfth ride with Thomson, although my first gravel ride (and my first ride without Peter being there). Scotland gravel is a great ride through beautiful countryside. It was the perfect mix of smooth roads and challenging gravel. Riding with Ada and the other staff members was like riding with friends. It might just be my favorite ride so far. Thank you Peter for the great intro your homeland.

Stimulation overload in a good way. A years worth of epic Gravel rides squeezed into one week. I didn’t realize there were so many different versions of “middle of nowhere” scenery. It was wonderful.

This trip was amazing! The staff so encouraging and helpful. To see Tuscany from gravel roads is to see the “real Tuscany”.

I had a wonderful trip. The scenery in Tuscany was incredible, the daily rides were challenging and fun, and the staff were great!

Excellent trip. Great organisation and cycling. My riding companions were extraordinary and meeting them was a privilege.

Fabulous week in the Dolomites with Sergio and Thomson's

This was my first trip with Thomson Bike Tours and it was truely an incredible experience. Everything was planned meticulously and executed flawlessly. I had the chance to see the best of Italy in a unique way without any stress or worry. The team was superb and met our every need in the most friendly and professional manner possible. I’m already looking forward to my next adventure with Thomson’s.

The Springs Classics trip was everything I expected and hoped for. The Thomson team share the same passion for cycling as the riders they support. I'll go again!

I had a great Spring Classics trip with Thomson Bike Tours. First rate support of course, but I was especially impressed with the way they organized the mid-week rides to cover the last 100k of specific classic races. I felt totally immersed! Thanks!

Excellent experience overall.

The Sardinia trip was another exciting Thomson adventure exploring the quiet and challenging roads of this region. As always, the routes were well planned, the guides were attentive, and the hotels were top notch. The most memorable aspect of the trip was the family atmosphere and new friendships made with the guests snd Thomson team.

As always, we have a great trip. Sardinia is a most do ride: spectacular landscape views, beautiful coastline, traffic free roads and challenging climbs. The staff support is outstanding. All details are taken care so that you can have a great cycling experience to be remembered for years to come. Thank you (Thomson Bike Tours) for such great experience. You are the best in the business!

First class riding holiday,

When Peter says it’s Epic he means it! Every ride was an Epic experience.

Peter and his crew uncovered roads that were a delight to climb and descend, through areas of Sardinia that gave a flavor of the diverse landscapes one can encounter there. The food was delicious! The Thomson experience on Sardinia left me thoroughly enchanted by this island and its people. Grazie mille!!

My trip was not great due to me getting some sort of a flu bug or Giardia which greatly impacted my riding. I was unable to eat during the rides and was very weak, I had to sit out some of the riding which was very hard for me but necessary. The people on the trip were all super fun and easy to get along with. The staff was superb, they obviously all love their jobs and did everything they could to make our experience great. Sardinia was an amazing destination, I would go back there again in a second. The roads were fabulous., the climbs and descents were challenging but so much fun and the lack of traffic was just pleasurable.

Sardinia was a truly an epic adventure in every sense of the way. The roads with little to no traffic. Fantastic climbs and descents. Visually stunning mountains to ride up and over and through. Amazing shorelines. Great riding, new friends, fantastic food and wine. I could not ask for a better road cycling trip! I would come back in a heartbeat.

It was a fantastic trip from beginning to end. Great group of riders and the two Thomson trip leaders did an awesome job. The hotels were very nice, the food was delicious, and the rides were challenging and fun. Looking forward to another Thomson Bike Tour next summer.

The Epic Trans-Pyrenees is precisely what I want from a guided overseas cycling trip. As someone living in the United States, making the trek across the Atlantic is not something I can do more than once or twice a year, and when doing so I want to be able to focus on what I love: riding up epic Cols! Testing myself on some of the legendary TDF climbs is a dream come true, a dream made logistically simple and stress-free by this guided itinerary. The atmosphere created by the staff on this trip was truly wonderful!

Epic on every level, scenery, itinerary, staff, cameraderie This trip had everything

Pyrenees are a great destination and less busy than some other trips (Alps, Dolomites). Excellent itinerary, staff and lodging. First rate!

This is my first experience with Thomson and it was excellent. I had a strong recommendation from my close friend David Pick who has been on many. I definitely plan to attend more trips in the future and also want to inquire about planning a larger private trip through Thomson within the next few years.

This was my first Thomson trip and overall it was a 10 out of 10. The guides were truly amazing and went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of in every way possible. I am definitely a satisfied customer and will be back for more.

The support and organisation of TBT for this trip was excellent, although the weather could have been better! The Ride Leader and Guides managed to bring about a successful outcome for everyone.

I've never experienced anything quite like this trip. I didn't know that any tour company combined big, challenging rides with first-class accommodations; usually it's one or the other. I'm an avid cyclist and no stranger to cycling tours. I'm easy to please, but I often find that the rides are too short or the accommodations are sub-par. This was my first Thomson Tour. I had always heard "you have to try Thomson." I picked Portugal, bc it's off the beaten track. The rides were incredible, with beautiful, minimally-trafficked roads, and jaw dropping scenery. Torre was a highlight for me! Socked in with clouds up top but that made it even more epic! Throughout the entire trip, the weather did not cooperate. It rained almost every day, some days hard, pounding, sideways rain. It's Fall in Portugal so you have to expect some of that. I was wet and cold a lot, which of course, makes everything a bit harder. But everything else on the trip was so incredibly on-point and top notch...the guides, the routes, the service, the hotels and food...that I spent the entire first morning post-trip searching for my next Thomson Tour! I had a wonderful time! I know you know this, but you offer something completely unique in cycling travel! Tough rides w/ high-end experiences! I'm hooked and cannot wait for my next trip!

I love Colombia. The people, the scenery, the flora, etc... for me, the riding is just an added bonus. 12 out of 10! Will do again.

This trip provided excellent exposure for a more exotic destination. The route design was impeccable and captured the essence of Colombia.

Thomson Bike Tours continues to provide a great experience for those avid cyclist. You want elevation Thomson Bike Tours is your company.

We finally completed the Epic Trans Dolomites which we have talked about for years. The cycling and views were everything we hoped for and more. This is a must do trip for any avid cyclist, especially those that enjoy serious climbing.

Morocco was a beautiful, amazing place to visit. The people were warm and friendly. The food was amazing. As always, the Thomson staff was top notch. The Xaluca staff exceeded expectations. There's a reason why we return to Thomson for our cycling adventures!

The Morocco gravel trip was probably the very best way to see Morocco. We saw areas of Morocco that aren't on any typical Moroccan tour as well as some of the fun and popular tourist attractions.

If you want to see A LOT of Morocco, from the big city to the desert, from back alleys to the back of a camel, then this is the trip for you. The Xaluca hotels, meals, and hospitality will blow you away. The guides are first class and in a league of their own. They are fun, funny, and great riders. Don't let the shorter mileage and lack of elevation fool you. This is not a gravel ride for beginners. Due to the terrain, these rides are harder than you might guess. But if you want to see Morocco by bike, I can't imagine that there is a better trip to take or a better company to take it with.

This was an amazing trip for so many reasons. The people, the accommodations, the learning, the dinners and breakfasts. I would recommend this to anyone who is a serious rider and who has some background in mtn biking, cyclocross, and/or has great bike handling skills. This is not a trip for a pure roadie or someone who expects for it to be smooth gravel or even chunky gravel.

Exceeded my expectations! I would do a Thomson tour in the future.

The Thomson team are beyond professional, they are knowledgeable, fun and extremely helpful. Our needs were fulfilled and nothing was ever too much trouble. The vehicle/SAG support and team mechanics are top notch, I really felt peace of mind at all times. The daily routes were both excellent and challenging, & the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I will absolutely be riding with Thomson again! Bravo!

This was our first trip with Thompson but we have done several self guided bike tours as well as supported bike trips in the past. This was the biggest group by far, but everything was so well organized starting with the communication about booking. The support provided before/during and after each ride was amazing and the ride leaders were so calm and helpful. Will be booking another trip with Thomson for sure. Thank you for a wonderful week!

I've been on 4 group tours, some with as many as 15 guests, and this was first to have more than 2 guides. What a difference it makes in the experience. I got to challenge myself riding with a stronger group, and also have the relaxation of an easier group. I never felt that I was inhibiting the overall group by not being able to keep up since there were enough guides to take 3 groups on our trip. The mechanical support was excellent as well. I also appreciated the planning details. Each meal was a different experience, but also well suited to the nutritional needs of our rides. I I felt so taken care of on the snack and lunch stops. On my previous tours I almost felt I went hungry at times, but not on this trip.

The staff made the trip so enjoyable. Tuscany was absolutely amazing and all the work that the crew performed allowed me to fully enjoy the experience.

A successful translation of the phenomenal TBT road experience to the world of gravel!

The staff, the rides, the hotels were all terrific

The Thomson team is second to none. The rides and scenery were spectacular but the staff is what sets Thomson apart from other cycling tours. They are professional, efficient, encouraging and so much fun! As a customer you immediately feel like part of the Thomson family! I cannot wait for my next cycling adventure!

One of the greatest vacations, it will never be forgotten. This was our second organized cycling trip, but our first with Thomson. They set the standard on what to expect moving forward. We are now customers for life, if they’ll have us. The route was perfectly curated to be challenging, fun, but obtainable. The structure of the week gave us not just riding time, but time to explore the amazing towns we visited. Set to make us feel like pro riders, the day was structured as such. A daily briefing outlining what to expect on the next ride. This briefing was spot on every day. We were told at the beginning, gravel vert is a +/- because of data. This was clearly communicated which meant I worked on distance. The hotels were nice. For the price they were amazing. I would definitely look to do a private trip with upscale hotels and dining. But the choice, for cost was great. Food was endless and good. On or off the bike, we were feed constantly. I took my own bike. I was nervous as to if this was the right call. It was the right cal for me. They make it super easy to set up, transport, support, and pack away. Normally I am in a hotel room putting a bike together improvising bike stands from furniture, hoping I didn’t forget a tool. With Thomson they have multiple bike stands, and multiple bike tool kits. Nothing was missing. Lots of time, and support to set up. It was like a pro team. However, the crew is what truly sets this operation apart. Our group leader Sergi, was professional, and knowledgeable about not just the trip, but the surrounding history as well. A smiling face and a British sense of humor. I can only imagine how hard that is with all he had going on to keep us on track. Aitor was the best bike mechanic I have ever met. Kind, and unflappable, throughout the week my bike fell apart. I was embarrassed, he just fixed it, and got me riding. Never made me feel anything but like a pro rider, which I am not in anyway. Ada, This lady is not just the best at her job on this team, but maybe the best person I have ever seen at any job. The organization of this kind of trip is endless. Ada had a way of being everywhere, and seeing everything, with out ever making you feel like she was in your way. Never not smiling, but seeing and predicting everyone’s needs. When she was sag support, which is not easy, it was perfection. The should write the training book based on skills as sag. Nils, a young and passionate brand ambassador. Kind, funny, and super fun to ride with! The other Sergi, team OPEN. I’m not sure he understood me, or me him, but I could talk and ride with this guy all day long. He had a way of making a dope like me feel so happy when riding my bike. I am the worst descender in the world. Old people walk past me faster. On one particularly gravel rutted down him Sergi appeared. He had not been on the ride to that point. He gave advice, pulled me out of a hedge, and stayed with me making me feel safe, but never inept, which I am! Then at the bottom of the hill, as if by magic he disappeared!! Unbelievable. This sums up the service you get. Oversight always, there when needed, but never in your face, always positive, always capable. These are some of the attributes that I noticed and can put into words. But there are so many more, so many it would take more time than I have to list. This is not an easy job, the guests alone make it a nightmare. Then add in weather, bikes, traffic, locals, hotel staff, oh and stupid people :) Un yet no matter what, they were smiling, professional, and always with a solution. Thank you for making our trip perfect. See you in France!!

Staff were incredible.

Trip was fantastic. Staff too.

I absolutely loved this trip. Stunning scenery, amazing hotels and some epic climbs. The Thomson staff were incredible - fun, supportive and inspiringly strong riders. Can't be more happy.

Thank you to Llibert and the team for a truly memorable Trans-Cantabrian ride tour! The riding, scenery, food, hotels, and support was fantastic but even more so the people, fun, new friends we have made that will make us come back again. Thank you!

Tired so not feeling too creative this evening, but I have enjoyed each of the trips so far and appreciate the planning and logistics is takes to move around this many people and squeeze in as many big climbs. I will likely look for something in the spring....if I can find one with warmer weather than Flanders. :)

Guides were beyond amazing. My wife and I have done a bunch of Backroads trips and really enjoyed them. I think Thomson really excelled at having great guides, and great support for cycling challenges. I will do more with you.

Sardinia was a great adventure. We got lucky with spectacular weather that let us enjoy all the stunning scenery. Peter and team found some amazing backroads that took us off the beaten track, but even when we were on the main roads there was very little traffic, and the drivers were respectful. And at the end of our rides, the hotels and dinners the team had arranged were excellent.

After 2 Thomson trips we are definitely coming back for more. We love the riding-centric approach, and (most of) the climbing! Sardinia is stunningly beautiful, fairly quiet, and far more mountainous than we realized. It’s perfect for a Thomson ride. And the Thomson staff are wonderful - we have been well looked-after on both trips.

We loved riding in Sardinia. The weather was perfect, the roads were fabulous and there was very little traffic. Beautiful vistas every day in all directions. Thomson did a great job of supporting all levels of riders and the routes provided many options. “Let’s go again”!

Another great Thomson Tour. It's wonderful to experience new parts of the world from a bicycle and not have to worry about some of the associated logistics involved. Using TBT also opens longer, more remote routes than you would otherwise be comfortable doing on your own since food and water are only a van stop away.

The VIP Sardinia tour operated by Peter Thomson, and his crew was a challenging and rewarding trip. The riders were all motivated and kind spirits. This is a good way to spend a week away from everything and yet to exercise vigorously with like minded people who only want to ride and feel alive.

Remarkably professional in all aspects. the team consistently managed to respond to the desires of each client, employing van support and additional team leaders to address varying needs. great van support, great efforts by the mechanics and fantastic attitude of ride leaders. the great weather didn't hurt, either!! thanks again

Peter and his team provide a top notch cycling experience. From the rides to the hotels to the Tour de France passes, any cyclists that have a dream of riding and exploring the Alps, need to contact Thomson immediately.

An awesome experience! Such a treat to not only do some amazing rides but to do so alongside the Tour and see it firsthand. A first class experience overall, made all the more special by the amazing staff that took such good care of everything. Thank you all!

We had the time of our life. Each ride was carefully planned. Peter and his team inspired us to ride harder and better than we thought we could. Thank you!!!

Very unique experience. Everyone at Thomson wanted to deliver the ultimate cycling experience, and they did.

Every aspect of the trip - the staff, hotels, rides, and Tour viewing - was incredible and I cannot wait for my next Thomson bike tour!

The trip exceeded all of my expectations and those I didn’t have.

It was a blast with great people. Exhausting pace on each day but well worth It for the amazing riding.

I accomplished my lifetime riding goals on the Tour de France Alps KOM/QOM trip. What more can I say, it was everything I imagined and so much more! Thank you Thomson.

Wow! What an incredible trip. The staff of Thomson are simply the best. Each one became like family by the end of the trip. I am looking forward to more Thomson trips with them in the future.

What a beautiful country and amazing experience to see behind the scenes on the Tour de France! This was a bucket list trip and fulfilled our expectations for what a trip like this could be. We had a really good group of rides, we had a really good group of leaders and everyone was so fun to ride with! We originally planned on doing this trip with another couple, one of whom was a non-rider so we signed up for the non-riders welcome group. We could have done the riders only group but in hindsight, we’re glad we joined this group because we met so many great people!!

The whole tour was fantastic. So well organized and the rides were challenging but magnificent. All of the staff were so supportive and friendly. I don’t believe you could improve on the high standards delivered and I will definitely look no further than Thomson for future tours. Thanks for an awesome experience!!

A successful celebration of my 70th Bday and of 3 years cancer free. Beyond anything one could ever ask for. Each climb was for all the ones that are not and have not been so fortunate. Not today cancer not today. To every supporter thank you.

A lifetime experience. Thomson focuses on cycling first with quality rides that pushed my fitness efforts to achieve new climbing personal bests in a unpressured manner. Not a casual tour for occasional cyclists, this is for enthusiasts looking to conquer the famed cols at an attainable pace. Thomson pre-ride communication is excellent, providing pre-ride fitness consultation and information as required. Qualified, friendly support staff remove the pressures of a self-supported ride over unfamiliar territory.

This trip surpassed my expectations. We rode through spectacular landscapes with superior ride leaders who knew how to support a broad spectrum of riders. We were also immersed in Tour de France action and were lucky to see the pro teams when they were our for their rest day rides. Truly a trip of a lifetime.

I had this trip on my to-do list for almost 20 years but kept putting it off because I have never been a fan of guided vacations. Peter and his team turned my opinion on its head. This trip was better than I could have expected in every way. The hotels and food were excellent, the days were well-planned and organized, and the staff was friendly, sincere and enthusiastic. I can't say where my next trip will be, but I am quite sure it will be in the hills somewhere with Peter's team.

Best. Trip. Ever. Being able to be in the "heart" of the Tour de France and ride the same epic climbs as the pros was amazing. When I later watched the pros tackle those same climbs, it was awesome to be able to really appreciate the grimaces on their faces. And then to top it off with actually being at the finish line or watching from the roadside of a climb as the pros came through took things to the next level. From start to finish Thomson Bike Tours gave me an experience and memories I will never forget - I already cannot wait to come back.

Thank you, Thomson Tours! I had an unparalleled experience riding with you and the team in the Pyrenees. Our days were filled with challenging rides, great hospitality, and flawless planning. Thank you for making this a memorable trip and I’m already planning the next one!

This whole trip was an absolute dream realized for me. I can't properly convey how fantastic each and every Thompson Tours staff member was. I felt so well-supported and was offered experiences of a lifetime. It was epic in every way and I now understand the motto "let's go again"!!!

This is my second trip with Thomson and even though I didn’t think much could be improved over the first time, this year exceeded all expectations! It’s truly amazing how Thomson hires such great staff…they make the trip worth every penny. The guests get to ride and just enjoy the views and the challenges without having to worry about logistics or mechanicals or food or anything. It’s the best experience you can have on a bike. Peter is a pro and it shows. This is the one trip I hope to plan annually…and I there isn’t one person of any of the friends who have joined me who doesn’t want to go again as well. Let’s go again!

Absolutely incredible experience. Peter manages to combine all the aspects of cycling that we love; the challenge, scenery, and camaraderie with a staff of outstanding cyclists who are top notch people. The centralized hotel with great amenities and good food allowed access to world class cycling right out the door. This is the best trip of my life. Huge thanks to Peter and the crew.

Wow. Top notch trip. Delivered on every count. I’ve done a trip with another company. I’m in with Thomson for the next one.

The ride over the finish line with the spectators encouraging us, is an experience I will never forget. After the first two days, I was not sure about my ability to complete the rides. After the forth day I was thinking I can do this. The team leaders were a huge help changing my perception of what I could do on the climbs.

Fantastic trip, great rides, beautiful area, great organization, perfectly executed. Would love to go again!

Cycling vegans, have no fear. Thomson Bike Tours provided me with excellent vegan meals and snacks without fail to fuel many enjoyable miles over the 6-day Pyrenees Challenge. The only animal suffering was me over the tall mythical mountains of Tour de France legend. Off the bike, I was pampered with excellent mechanical support, a comfy hotel, and cheerful companionship from the other riders and support staff. One highlight was the quiet beauty of the climb to Parc des National Pyrenees. Conversely, another highlight was crossing the finish line at Peyragudes just a few hours before the Tour surrounded by the roaring cheers of impatient cycling fans. Highly recommend!

It was an experience of a lifetime for my cyclist husband, which was my goal in booking it as a 50th birthday gift for him. Incomparable access to the Tour de France, especially the Hautacam day. We met so many nice people, and the guides were excellent (Maria and Manuel, in particular).

This trip surpassed my expectations. Even as a non-rider who was trying to ride, I received a lot of encouragement from the team. The Thomson team is experienced, fun and a great group of people to spend time with. The Tour de France Trip has to be a bucket list trip for anyone who loves to ride and loves the Tour.

Friendliest, most helpful and knowledgeable ride leaders, mechanics and van support (many people performed all 3 roles) made getting up multiple “hors categories” mountain passes possible, fun and unforgettable. Tour de France experience was up close and a once in a lifetime experience.

For a rider that lives the Tour de France and has always dreamed of riding the mountain routes, this trip did not disappoint. The knowledgeable team leaders were perfect to help guide us through each challenge. Thomson’s VIP access and mountain experiences were well done and gave us prime viewing access. The staff treated us like royalty.

This was one of my all-time favorite trips ever! The cycling was challenging & the scenery beautiful. The crew always took care of everything- very friendly, considerate, & fun. After the final ride, I told them I was going to quit my normal life & join them! Literally can’t wait to sign-up for my next Thomson Tour!

It was magic. I had dreamed of such an experience for twenty years, so my expectations were extraordinarily high as they are with any dream. But, riding up famous climbs in the Pyrenees and on Tour de France routes, viewing the race just feet from the riders, being immersed in the French countryside, and visiting with Thomson staff were wonderful beyond my expectations. It was a glorious experience that I will treasure. During the trip, I shared a selfie with friends at home. They said, "You look so happy!" I was and am. It was magic.

I can’t stop thinking about how awesome that trip was. I’m so sad it’s over!

Great trip with an excellent staff. They, along with the great group of guests made it great.

Great experience with excellent support team. Would recommend this trip to all experienced riders - you will not be disappointed!

Had a really great time. Was so cool to do the same courses as the pros on the same days. Iconic climbs and great descents. Having the support vehicles and preplan route was really convenient and just let you turn up and ride.

Fantastic that Thomson is supporting women’s racing. Do it again next year.

Individualized attention; intense focus on client satisfaction; friendly & talented guides & staff; fantastic hotels & meals; great support on-the-road and off!

This was an amazing trip. I travelled on my own and was not sure how I would find this - the level of the other cyclists in the group, or the overall experience. It far, far, far exceeded my expectations. Everything was perfect. I can honestly say it was the experience of a lifetime. Peter and the whole team were fantastic - nothing was too much trouble. The people I met on the trip will, I hope, be lifelong friends. I would do this again trip again in a heartbeat! I've been back home for 12 days now and I still find that the memories and emotions are still so vivid and make the hairs on my neck stand out!

Once in a lifetime, I will never forget it.

This is my first ride with Thomson, and I was really impressed. The daily rides were much harder than other tours I have been on, which is what I was seeking. The guides and support were outstanding, and I hope to ride with you again soon.

Challenging rides on well-designed routes through some of the most amazing scenery I’ve ever experienced on a bike, or otherwise. Highly recommend Thomson, and specifically the Tenerife tour for a winter getaway. Can’t wait to joint again!

This is my second trip to Tenerife with Thomson and I will go again. The rides are challenging, the roads are in great condition, the scenery is beautiful and diverse-from volcanic lava deserts to rainforests-and the traffic is minimal. All this, and at the end of the day you are at a luxurious seaside resort where you can sleep by a quiet pool before enjoying a fantastic meal. The rooms are clean, spacious and well-appointed. Looking forward to my next visit to Tenerife with Thomson!

This was an early season camp. The riding was hard but this is what it is meant to be! The staff are amazing and encouraging. It keeps me coming back for more.

I couldn't think of a better way to ride and watch many of the Spring Classic monuments. Great people, amazing riding, good camaraderie, and an overall incredible Spring Classics experience. The VIP access to the events was first class. One of my most memorable bike trip experiences for sure.

I enjoyed this trip tremendously. It provided challenge, adventure, great food and company. The photo opportunities were endless, from natural rock formations, fields of flowers to mountains and villages. The history and culture of the area is fascinating from Moorish influence to Picasso. The staff and support were excellent.

Fue una gran experiencia sin duda, conocí a un grupo increíble de personas, los guías muy atentos y lo pasamos muy bien, volveré a repetir con ustedes pese a que el costo es elevado creo que merece la pena vivir la experiencia, no me arrepiento para nada el haber elegido este Épico viaje a España con ustedes, balance final muy buen trabajo 👏👍👏😊

An excellent experience, really challenging but immensely rewarding, I learned a lot about my fitness and capabilities but also spent a week with likeminded cyclists with great support and inspiring rides. I will be booking another trip.

I felt your team of workers did a great job in helping a novice in the biking world get wonderful experience of seeing Italy in a laid back way vs. the typical tour bus. Would recommend your operation anytime.

Fantastic trip, loved the intro to gravel. Tuscany amazing place for your first Thomson trip.

This trip was transformative for me. The weather, terrain, company, challenge and accommodations were all excellent, restoring my love for cycling even more.

We will be back! Loved the guides -- that was the best part of the trip (besides the riding). Enjoyed getting to know Sergio, Marc, Cesar and Robert. I hope they become lifelong friends.

The routes were spectacular, the hotels were impressive (especially the pousadas), but the excellent crew made this trip one to remember. We were so impressed with your service, routes, hotels, etc. We are looking forward to another tour with you soon!

The epic trans Portugal trip was another outstanding Thomson adventure. While the climbs are less intense the the classic mountain ranges of Europe the overall distance and cumulative climbing is challenging and there are some epic days like Torre. The roads are quiet and nearly car free. The Thomson team, as always, is the highlight of the trip. They’re extremely attentive to the needs of the riders on the road and for meals. They also engage well with the guests and are entertaining to be around. I strongly recommend this trip for those who want to see a beautiful part of Europe on back roads, stay in spectacular converted monasteries, and enjoy the local culture and the cobbled streets of remote Portugal.

Portugal is a magical place for cycling with great tarmac, steep climbs, sweeping descents, and fantastic food. The hotels include converted monasteries where your prayers for good food, wine, and strong legs are answered. The Thomson staff deliver an unforgettable cycling experience in roads even the locals can’t find.

Another outstanding Thomson trip. The riding through the Pyrenees was gorgeous and the service was top notch. Already excited for my next trip!

It was my 1st experience with Thomson. The hospitality and cycling experience were amazing. A very good balance between health and discovery experience. Thank you Peter, Dominique St-Louis

The Thomson brand: quality ride, nice hotel and excellent support. Please continue the good job!

This was a truly great trip. The routes were well-designed, the food and accommodation were outstanding and the staff were fun and professional. Grazie mille!

An absolutely stunning experience with the most amazing staff. Everyone was so patient and knowledgeable and were true ambassadors to the sport of cycling. I could not recommend Thomson and the Tuscany trip enough!

it was well planned and exceedingly well executed. The Thomson team was dedicated and fun!

For any cyclists who feels the call of the mountains, the Epic Trans Swiss trip is a must. The climbs, the vistas, the overall experience -- it was all spectacular. And that is a word you'll use a lot on this vacation. The trip exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to other guests!

The Trans Swiss trip is truly a spectacular experience with amazing scenery, challenging climbs, and great support from the Thomsen team. The Trans Swiss trip is as much a bucket list adventure as the Alps, Pyrenees, and Dolomites trips. The Thomsen team has really elevated their on the road support with great food and a new generation of guides who are highly motivated to provide a great experience for the customers.

I have been on so many Thompson Trips that I have lost count. Consistently, the staff are bright, fun, responsible, and knowledgeable. When unexpected events occur (which of course always happens to some extent), they are calm and flexible. They also make a great effort to interact individually with the riders. This is a real differentiator, as it would be so much easier for them to just "go through the motions." And this transforms the experience for the riders. Llibert and Clara were among the best ride leaders/staff that I have met at Thompson and were wonderful to spend time with.

When you combine the Swiss beauty, the roads, the people, and EPIC climbs with fast descent, you end up with a week long a jaw dropping rides! I love every moment of the adventure and will be back in a Thomson Tour!

Fantastic trip with a great crew! Every aspect of the trip was better than expected! The crew was fabulous - even changed out my cassette half way through the week!! I honestly can’t wait to do another trip with Thomson!!

Amazing legendary rides, great bunch of people. Very thankful to have done this trip.

An intense physical and mental challenge that rewards you with some of the best views on Earth.

This Epic tour exceeded my expectations for a challenging 7 days. I had no idea going into this that I would be able to complete all routes. 10k’+ a day! I came away a better and stronger rider because of the routes, support and camaraderie.

In rode this trip back to back with the Epic Switzerland and had the best two weeks on a bike I can remember - epic rides, stunning scenery, and great camaraderie. I wouldn’t ride with anyone other than Thomson, and am already planning the next adventure.

I have been riding since 1984 and this was likely the toughest and most enjoyable cycling I have ever done in my life. The route was exactly what I was looking for. I'm over the top happy by finishing the entire week with the support of Thomson. So memorable.

This trip was truly EPIC in so many ways. By the end of the week all of the guides and other guests felt like family.

This was a trip of a lifetime and we are very happy with the staff, riding, rentals, and overall experience. We will recommend and we will be back.

The route selection was excellent, as we spent the vast majority of the time on quiet roads with very little traffic. Cristian and Marc were fantastic: very supportive, knowledgeable, positive, patient and helpful. 😃 The group dynamics worked really well - of course it was always going to be positive; 5 Aussies + 2 Catalans =👍 😃

"Epic" is overused in today's sporting world - does it mean unique, challenging, memorable, or unmatched in beauty or experience? When I read of Thomson's "Epic Trans Pyrenees" with its 17 categorized climbs, I was convinced it was a worthy trip to celebrate my retirement (just 10 days earlier) after 40 years of professional work. All of my expectations were exceeded in this "epic" ride! Once again (it was my 2nd Thomson trip), the staff made the biggest difference! Yes, the hotels were 5-star, the food was fantastic, the biking was, well, epic; but it was the tireless dedication of all 7 staff members that made this the trip of a lifetime. Thank you Thomson for providing cherished memories that I will never forget!

Everything about this trip exceeded all expectations. This was my first trip with Thomson and the entire staff was amazing. The support throughout the week and their friendliness and willingness to do anything to make our trip special was amazing. The routes were off the charts and the hotels were better than expected.

This trip was indeed EPIC and worth every bead of sweat and sore muscle. The climbs were spectacular and challenging, the staff were all excellent, and the food and hotels were great. As always, you guys have outdone yourselves.

What a fantastic experience! The staff was eager to help at all times and always available. Having the van support with food and changes of clothes for going up and down the mountains was key to making the rides successful and enjoyable. The rides were hard and the scenery was amazing. This was an Epic trip! Thank you.

Trip of a lifetime. We're already talking about doing another trip with Thomson again next year.

This was my first Thomson trip. I look forward to more. The staff are amazing. Hard working, supportive, always with a smile. I felt like I was riding with friends. Organization and logistics are top notch. The rides are challenging but rewarding. At the end, I was wishing I could take a couple of rest days and start all over again.

The entire week was amazing. The Team Manager (Jordi) was terrific, the support team was top-notch and made for an experience that will provide memories for a lifetime. I would highly recommend Thomson Tours to anyone, and will probably do more tours with Thomson in the future.

An absolutely delightful trip, made so by the significant experience and efforts of the Thomson team. They are absolutely first class in what they do and I'll definitely be back.

Sergi ran the trip to perfection with the assistance of Andre, Arnau, Alex and Borja. No request was too much and they went above and beyond any expectations.

Sergi and the Thomson's crew on our trip were simply amazing. It was an absolute pleasure to meet them and spend a fortnight together. Their advice was accurate, they were super supportive, and struck a great balance between knowing when to give you a hand and when to let you have some time experiencing the rides etc by yourself. The trip flowed beautifully, the conversation and socialising was outstanding. These guys are true pros at what they do - love to come and do another trip with you for sure! Thanks guys.

As always Sergi and the entire Thomson team provided us with not only first class service but a really fun and spectacular trip! Thank you 🙏

The Thomson Bike Tours team have nailed this trip! The cycling routes, climbs, accommodation, meals, ride leaders and van support all combined for an exceptional cycling week experience.

The trip was well organized, and the routes and scenery were spectacular and challenging. The tour leadership team was excellent, and were very responsive to requests and feedback. The accommodations were fabulous. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for challenging riding in a wonderful location.

I had a fantastic time. Scenery was great, rides were hard but had very little traffic and our guides were really great / fun people to spend a week with. Hotel quality was very good and the guests were all like-minded cycling enthusiasts so being on my own on the trip was no problem. I definitely recommend Thomson for anyone desiring a legitimate cycling-focused week!

Outstanding routes through spectacular terrain. I have ridden all the major mountain areas of western Europe, and Northern Spain is a match for any and surpasses many in it's variety, scenery, and challenge. You will need your best climbing legs. Add in the fantastic Thompson staff, and you have the perfect bike adventure. Loved every minute!

I don't have enough space to share all the superb qualities of Thomson tours. The staff, the staff to rider ratio, the rental bikes, the routes, the van support food, all the attention to detail was amazing. I could go on and on. We started planning our next trip before our current trip ended. I will look at no other tour company. I'm headed back to Thomson Bike Tours.

I have been looking forward to this trip for several years and Thomson did not disappoint. I loved the "trans" aspect of the trip; covering so many famous climbs with no shuttle time. The trip staff did an exceptional job being flexible to accommodate what most everyone in the group wanted to do on each day.

This was my second trip with Thomson and once again it did not disappoint. Staff continues to be friendly and attentive to guest. Can’t wait for my next trip!!!

Spectacular trip….beautiful scenery, fun guides, great support and accommodations. Once again, Thomson Bike Tours didn’t disappoint

This was my third Thompson tour and second trip that I done with my son. Because this was the EPIC trans Dolomites it had all the classic and famous climbs which we desired and really enjoyed. The scenery and views were phenomenal. However, the staff is what made the trip excellent. They delivered excellent customer and mechanical service with attention detail, warm humor and a sense of friendship. The days were well organized and adjusted as need for weather and road changes. Thank you, Keith

Incredible views, iconic climbs, phenomenal support, and Italian cuisine. I didn't want it to end! I cannot recommend this trip enough.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first Thomson bike trip. The support we received by each member of the team was exceptional. Alternative cycling options were provided if the daily route was too difficult. There were several accidents on this trip and our team dealt with them in a calm and professional manner. We enjoyed that the focus was on cycling. We will definitely travel with Thomson again. Thank you!

This was my first trip of this type - a supported bike ride. I had been considering a trip like this for many years and it more than met my expectations. I was so pleased to have selected Thomson - they did a fantastic job.

Without the support of the Thomson team I could never could have accomplished what I did over the week of cycling. The van support was fantastic. The hotels and food were first rate. I appreciated the daily briefings which helped me prepare for the next day’s challenge. Team members were positive, encouraging and supportive, and helped me achieve what I never thought possible.

Best Vacation Ever ! 5 Stars to everyone at Thomson.

As in past trips, the organization and logistics are impressive. The staff to guest ratio allows for every rider to feel always covered and able to ride at their level. I have done many trips with Thomson, and will continue as long as I am able to ride. With their ability to provide high performance e bikes, I hope I can continue to ride with Thomson for many more years.

This was the 6th or 7th trip I have taken with Peter and his team and I have only great memories. The rides are tough yet inspiring, Peter's team are always positive and ready to help. A challenge I look forward to again next year!! Chio

Let’s go again. That’s the feeling I’m left with every time I take a Thomson tour. This was my fifth! Thanks again. 

Great organization, great rides, great hotels great food - what more could you ask for?

This was a great trip. It restored my enthusiasm for cycling. The riding was challenging, but not impossible. Riding a section of L’Eroica was an experience I won’t forget. The staff and the support they provided was top class. The locations we stayed and rode in were beautiful and had things to do after the riding. As you’d expect in Italy the food was good. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Our first 'trans' trip. We really enjoyed the 'toned down' mileage and elevation gain of this trip. Still a challenge without being totally exhausting. It was nice to come to the hotel in the early afternoon and be able enjoy the towns and nice hotels. The 3 young BCN 'kids' and Sergio were amazing and made everthing perfect, from the lunches they made, their ride leading, the dinners they organized, to an excellent 'adventure' wine tasting out in the hills of Chianti. I usually take my own bike on trips, but rented one of the Felt FRs with Rubino 25's on Reynolds wheels - Robert fit it perfectly for me, a pleasant surprise. The bike was very stable on the roads of Chianti which can sometimes be a challenge due to occasional cracks and wrinkles.

The guides, the views, the food, the cycling… all spectacular!!! So professional. Booked as a 60th birthday present to myself and brought my 22 year old son. My son had only been training for a few months and was a novice and they (Sergio in particular) took him under their wings and he biked every last mile. The support was great, the rides perfect and the countryside was amazing! Thanks Thomson!

This was my 17th trip with Thomson Bike Tours, and this is definitely a very special trip. Peter has described this as classic Spain (I totally agree) and it has everything you could want in a week of cycling: challenging climbs, beautiful roads, amazing scenery, superb guides, and some wonderful hotels. A perfect trip!
