CUSTOM GETAWAYS IS THE ONLY NORTH AMERICAN TOUR OPERATOR RECOGNIZED BY THE TOUR DE FRANCE

 

2009 Tour de France

July 4th to July 26th, 2009

 

With most trips now sold out, we have changed the presentation of this page to showcase first, only the trips which still have some availability.

We might still able to create custom trips as well throughout the Tour.

 

We will be, once again, catering to Tour and cycling fans from all over the World and offering unparalleled Tour de France experience. Our extensive lineup is the most diversified and largest in the industry, yet we strive to offer individual attention to all. Our years of experience (dating to 1986) matters when it comes 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.
