Tour de France trips


 

2013 Tour de France

 

June 29th to July 21st, 2013

 

We are happy to be Official Tour Operator once again for the 2013 edition. 2013 marks the 100th Tour de France and our 9th year of being Official Tour Operator - longer than any other outfit!

 

 

We have been accepting bookings for 2013 for a few years already as many returning guests want to make sure they get in on what is sure to be a race for the ages!

 

Corsica will be the backdrop to the most scenic and beautiful Start of the race ever. This is also the very first time the race comes to Corsica.

 

As usual we will run vacation packages from the team presentation on June 27th to the final sprint on the Champs Elysees on July 21st.

 

Some trips are already sold-out for these historic 3 weeks and we know from speaking to former guests that many will be booking again. we do plan on expanding our already very extensive offer, but unfortunately we also know that we will not be able to accommodate everyone, so if you plan on attending, please make sure you let us know early!

 

Our years of experience (dating to 1986) matter when it comes to taking people to the Tour de France. No other Tour Operator in the world takes more people behind the scenes at the TDF than we do.

 

Our cycling trips are second to none and are flexible to accommodate anyone, from the performance cyclist who wishes to ride a century daily, to the more casual cyclist.

 

These trips can be fully catered or not, cycling or not, with VIP access or not with durations from just a couple of days to the entire Tour de France.

 

If you still cannot find the trip of your dreams listed, we also offer custom trips and the widest selection of One Day VIP experiences available anywhere.

ALL 2013 TOUR DE FRANCE TRIPS

 

Signature Series Trips (cycling and non)

 

These trips are restricted in the number of people they can accommodate. Some of the access offered is unprecedented and unavailable anywhere else. The hotels are always the best available. These trips tend to sell out first as they offer a great variety of experience of the Tour and of France. Staff to guest ratio is about 1 to 3. Non-cyclists are more than welcome and will be catered to as well. When possible we arrange side trips while the cyclists are "doing their thing"!

VIP Access includes: riding a stage of the Tour de France (shorter distances available) and crossing the finish line under race official escort a few hours ahead of the pros, photos on the actual podium, visit of riders' area, press area, technical zones and a lot more.

We will also visit with one of the teams during rest-days, perhaps ride their rest-day ride and often have personalities of the Tour over for dinner. Our Signature Series trips will include the use of Garmin Edge bike computers/GPS!
