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 went looking for a full and immersive cycling experience with iconic climbs, Le Tour experiences up close and personal and those special roads only the locals know. The Thomson team delivered on all accounts led by a skilled and responsive staff who were thoughtful and always prepared for the unexpected. Superb experience that we look forward to repeating again with Thomson.

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 ...

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The route selection was excellent, as we spent the vast majority of the time on quiet roads with very little traffic.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

This trip met my gravel expectations: routes were challenging on road, gravel and forest dirt. Daily ride tempo was energetic. Leaders were helpful and superb cyclists--great wheels to follow.

It's certainly a big challenge to organize a trip through the remote and versatile landscapes of Morocco, but the guys from Thomson did an amazing job. The rides were carefully set out to discover the different terrains and scenery the country has to offer. It also was a joy to stay at the hotels from Xaluca. If you want a top-notch experience with challenging gravel cycling while practically moving through film sets, balanced with a cultural touch, I know who to recommend.

I appreciated all the hard work put in by the staff to deal with Covid and any issues that arose during the trip. These are hard working folks who will do everything to make your trip special. Another masterpiece put on by Peter (especially bringing forth the great weather...hardly a drop of rain). Kudos!!
A great experience all around. Super, supportive, caring Thomson team was always available and ready. They did it all……except turn the pedals! Each day a classic.

The Trans Swiss trip is very pretty. All the Thomson trips I have been on are so much fun; it is like going on vacation with your parents... all the hotels, food, luggage, etc. are taken care of and all you have to do is ride and have fun.

Thomson Bike Tours is THE top notch bike adventure company. They think of everything and more to enhance your cycling experience. Fantastic locations, routes, hotels, and staff. This is my 4th Thomson Bike Tour, I'm looking forward to my next one. You guys never disappoint me, everything is high end and wonderful. All I have to do is provide my legs! My wife, a non rider, also enjoyed the trip immensely. There were plenty of things for her to do on the trip during the day, and the days she spent riding in the van were tons of fun. Thanks ...

The VIP Trans Croatia trip was a great welcome back from the long pandemic break and a well conceived introduction to the Croatian coast and islands. The Thomson team delivered to their always high standards with a great route, beautiful and well situated hotels, excellent new Felt bikes, and the most supportive staff in the industry. There are plenty of challenging climbs and most of the roads are relatively car free - while the ride is not across one of the big mountain ranges of Europe, you never get tired of the endless views of the Adriatic.

The boat rides were so fun and the climb to Svete Jure was awesome - one of the best in Europe. The staff (Ada and Albert) made the trip a joy and took great care of us.

Beautiful countryside and charming Portuguese villages with cobbled streets. Every hotel was treat to stay in. The guides were consummate professionals who immediately felt like family.

Excellent staff, beautiful scenery, and an all-around excellent week of cycling with almost no cars to share the road with. The cobblestone streets add a great opportunity for photos however come prepared as some of the cobblestone streets have very steep pitches (both up and down).

Sicily is a land of spectacular views as well as challenging terrain (short steep climbs; and long climbs). And the food/wine is excellent. Madonie National Park is very pretty and Mount Etna is a magnificent mountain.

This was a spectacular and challenging cycling adventure. I loved cycling across the picturesque Pyrenees and climbing so many famous Cols. The route was perfectly planned on quiet roads and through charming villages. My goal was to cycle every kilometre of it regardless of weather and The Thomson Team was there to help in anyway every step of the way. This was my first Thomson Trip and I will for sure be a repeat customer. See you on the road again!

Ride managers/leaders are top notch and inspire confidence that you are going to be cared for more than adequately so you can focus on enjoying the ride and getting the work done.

The trip experience was terrific and very satisfying. Terrain required concentration and required you to be totally in the moment. Fantastically mindful and relaxing. A true vacation. The roads were varied, challenging (sometimes technical but always doable). Great planning and route choice. For us perfect length and difficulty. The staff was fantastic: friendly; funny; knowledgeable; reliable; engaged; supportive; and very fit! First time we leave our bicycles at home; no regrets; rental bicycles (Felt) were great and absolutely no hassle. Thank you for a wonderful trip. First Thomson trip but certainly not our last!

This was my second Thomson trip to Portugal. I have ridden in many places and Portugal is one of my favorites. Amazing roads and terrain and some of the very best paved surfaces I have ever experienced. The lack of cars on the paved roads is so very nice and I can only remember a couple vehicles being on the gravel roads. It is such a stark contrast to riding in the states. An amazing mix of pavement and gravel - all of it quite enjoyable. The Thomson crew did an excellent job as always.

Only recently have I began exploring these exotic [ to me anyways ] cycling hotbeds and I've found that my desire to explore is bigger than ever. That's what lead me to research tour companies and ultimately Thomson tours. Thomson Tours does all the heavy lifting which means for a guy like me, who is not an experienced traveller, that I can just focus on the enjoyment of riding. For that I owe you and all the guides a debt of gratitude - these memories will last a lifetime. Thanks so much.

This was my first bike trip/vacation and it was epic by every definition of the word. Scenery, weather, staff, accommodations and road surface made this trip one of the best vacations of any kind I have taken.

The travel day to La Gomera was fantastic. It would be nice to get two days there, but I understand the hotel/logistical problem. Also, it is very nice to have a permanent lodging for the entire trip. I wish there were some laundry facilities available. Our hand washed clothes would not dry for two days (we were on the North side of the hotel so no sun on the balcony). I took a day off on day 5, which made days 6 and 7 really nice.

It would be nice if this rest could be incorporated into the trans trips too. The reality is that most of your riders don't do 7 days of long rides in a row, so an optional day at day 5 would be great. Please don't misinterpret me though, I absolutely loved this trip as it is, and plan to do it again with my wife next time. Thankyou for an experience I will never forget.
Ok, Tenerife & La Gomera is my 9 trip with Thomson Bike Tours. This trip is another outstanding cycling experience. Peter Thomson is always looking for opportunities to come up with new fantastic trips and to improve the existing ones. The accommodations are second to none and the support is excellent. The routes provide spectacular and astonishing views. Challenging climbs and roads in good conditions. Whether you are strong rider or a recreational rider it doesn't matter. You will get a great cycling experience. I know because they never disappoint me.

The Spring Classics trip was a fantastic experience with a perfect balance between spectating and riding. We were given the opportunity to ride most of the iconic climbs, pavé and routes for these races during our stay in the region. The trip route provided us a comprehensive firsthand exposure to the unique terrain and features of each of these Spring Classic races. We also had fantastic visibility to the pros during the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. I highly recommend this adventure if you are a fan of the roads and races that make up the Spring Classics.

Peter: I'm 71, and clearly there were some spots on the course where my max heart rate was a limiter. On a couple of the 20+% pitches I stopped mid way to recover, 10 breaths, then went ahead, something I've not had to do in the past, and I trained harder for this tour than the one in 2018. Still, apparently not hard enough.

I don't want to be a burden on the B leader, yet I'm reluctant to get in the van too early. So, Pere said he'd vouch for my ability. The tour appeals to racers and former racers, so some friendly pace-pushing is expected. As long as I'm not a burden, I'm okay with just following the blue line on my gps (which, by the way, is on life support after the P-R cobbles!), and coming in later.

This was my first trip with Thomson and I was thoroughly impressed with the planning, organization before, during, and after each ride as well as the overall trip. The completeness of the trip planning book, the quick responses to emails by Leeanne, the timeliness and punctuality of pick-ups, drop-offs, ride departures, meetings, etc. It's a well oiled machine that looks to find the small discrepancies and fix them before they become big ones. I enjoyed the trip and the way it's run so much that I signed up to do another trip to the Dolomite's in June 2019.

It was amazing and the opportunities we had were beyond my expectations. If your a cycle enthusiast this is the trip for you. You'll never get closer to the action than this. Jacinta is a phenomenal trip guide she feels her only duty is to make sure her guest are taken care of and have a great time and she does that ten times over.

This is a wonderful trip in the U.S. Because this race isn't widely known (except to enthusiasts), there aren't huge crowds, the bikers are more accessible and you can see things and get to places that you would miss in Europe. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Our group has done a number of trips with Thomson. As with the others, the riding was fantastic, the staff was superb, the food was wonderful, and the hotels were great. The Angliru was intense and the Lagos de Cavadonga was amazing.

I absolutely loved the riding in Cantabria. The traffic was minimal. The scenery far exceeded my expectations. The food was, as is usual for Thomson Tours, outstanding. Our guides were very friendly and thoughtful, Ada and Ricard in particular.

This was only my second trip and thus far the best. I liked how the routes were setup with increasing difficulty each day. It gave my legs better chance to improve over the course of the week. The entire staff did a great job and were very personable. We felt like we were leaving old friends at the end of the trip. We also made great connections with the other clients and hope see them on future trips. Everyone got along just great and encouraged each other throughout the trip.

A week like this is why Thomson have my wife and I as repeat customers - a group of riders who were great company; enthusiastic, talented and customer focussed staff who are a pleasure to be with; and a magnificent bike ride across a route with a series of superb climbs and stunning vistas. We were lucky to be able to climb Lagos de Covadonga on a bright, sunny day - it was, for me, the highlight amongst many other memorable experiences.

One of the best parts of this trip outside of the cycling, guides, and the country of Spain, was the Guests. Was really nice to have all of the guests returning from prior trips. All of the guys were comparable from a ride standard. Didn't have to wait too long. Glad the wives were able to participate, but they needed a separate vehicle which created to many guys in a van.

The trip was very enjoyable and gave me another entire understanding of the superiority of the professional tour riders. The almost unworldly beauty of the Dolomites was visually enhanced by all the snow. The Italian Alps and Dolomites need to be ridden to really understand the terrain of the Giro d'italia. Was an experience well surpassing what I thought I would encounter. The logistics and support of Peter and his staff gives everyone the opportunity for a lifetime experience that will be unforgettable!!!

A stellar riding experience with Thomson with great support staff, particularly John and Rob on food and transport, and Libert, our superstar ride leader, who enabled me to successfully tackle the biggest mountains in the Dolomites. Nothing was too much trouble and clients needs were catered for wherever possible. It was an experience I'll cherish and I will ride with Thomson again. Andrew Foster

Thomson excelled in every level of professionalism.

I felt like every day was VIP treatment! I've been biking seriously for 15 years, am 64 years old, still race, and manage about 150 miles per week (despite word). I can honestly say this is the best two weeks of biking in my life and I am now already wondering when I'll sign up for the next tour! Thank you Peter & your wonderful staff for making this first bike trip the best ever!
The Trans Dolomites trip was a truly amazing experience. The rides are stunning and provide a real challenge. Our trip was limited a little bit by closure of some of the high passes (Stelvio and Gavia) though thankfully we had perfect weather all week which certainly made up for that. The support provided by Thomson was impeccable and our guides were great company. The accommodation was superb and the food was tasty and plentiful. I can not recommend this trip highly enough.

I don't think route planning could have been done any better. The staff was knowledgable, helpful and most importantly interesting to ride/converse with. We had some weather (heat) related issues and they handled the situation very professionally. I had a fantastic time, thanks for everything.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Trans Dolomite's Tour. It was a well coordinated trip to ensure the epic climbs were accomplished, customers were challenged while simultaneously taken care of. The evening pre-ride briefs were professionally done, the rides started on time, and it was a well organized trip. I'll be back for another Thomson Tour in 2020!

I have been a repeat Thomson client for 15 years and I keep coming back because of the great riding and outstanding staff. My latest trip was the Trans Piedmont and it was fantastic. That part of Italy is so beautiful and the roads have little traffic. Peter consistently puts together amazing routes which are so well thought out. But what sets the trips apart is the staff, they took such good care of us and were flexible and accommodating. Amazing trip!

The Thomson Trans-Alps tour was an awesome experience and gave myself and friends the chance to conquer some of the greatest climbs in France. Group leaders were dedicated and professional at all times, passionate about cycling and bent over backwards to make sure we all had an enjoyable trip. All abilities were catered for, from the slower folks to those with great ambitions, there was a group leader who could push them. Would highly recommend to others and would love to do another tour with them.

We have experienced 2 other cycling tour companies and neither offered the same level of service as your company and team. The attention to detail regarding bike maintenance and cleaning (for all bikes, not just the rental bikes) was greatly appreciated as it likely mitigated delays. The food in the support vans was just amazing - there was truly something for everyone. The protein snack options provided at the end of the hard days is very thoughtful and helped with recovery. The cohesiveness of the Thomson Tours team was apparent and greatly enhanced the experience. Thanks for a great tour.

The customization of ride route and elevation gain allowed more club members to participate than likely would have otherwise. The staff was on their game all week and they provided impeccable support, as usual. Overall, it was a wonderful opportunity for 11 friends to become even better friends in a relaxed and beautiful environment.

The trip was very well run, the staff were all amazing. One thing that really stood out for me was that when the weather got bad and roads were closed, the team jumped to figure out an alternative route to keep us riding. When it was really nasty rain, they made sure everyone was safe. It was unfortunate we had so much bad weather since we missed some of the best climbs, but nothing can be done about that!
