September 2024
Sadly, we are announcing the permanent closure of Two Tyred Tours (TTT). It has truly been a great ride, so to speak, filled with many wonderful memories, but we have decided that retirement and having more time to enjoy riding for ourselves is now the highest priority in our lives. We want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the hundreds of clients who have chosen to ride with us over the years. Without your support and enthusiasm, this journey would not have been the absolute pleasure that it was for us.
Keep your tire pressure correct and may the wind always be at your back.
All the best.
Jimi Thomson and Janine Collins

Van Supported Bike Trips
Come and experience the joy of riding with Two Tyred Tours for an exciting weekend getaway or a leisurely week-long adventure. We specialise in organising private, bespoke cycling vacations that cater to small groups, including friends, family, co-workers, or those looking to celebrate special occasions. Our tours offer fantastic bike rides on serene, traffic-free roads, complemented by delicious food and outstanding wines that you will surely enjoy. Our van-supported cycle tours are meticulously tailored to suit your varying abilities, budget considerations, and levels of experience.
None of our trip itineraries are "etched in stone," and we pride ourselves on not having fixed departure dates, allowing you to decide what works best for you. This flexibility means we can craft an exceptional bike trip customized just for you in the region and country of your choice, tailored to your preferences regarding where, when, and how much you and your group want to ride. Our active vacations are truly designed specifically for you.
Having operated cycling vacations for over 20 years in beautiful destinations such as Switzerland, France, Italy, and Austria, we boast an extensive route inventory that offers a wide variety of options. The trips listed below, along with those featured on our website, are merely samples of the incredible experiences we can organise for your group. We can take any one of our existing trips and modify it to perfectly match your group’s specific ability, budget, and schedule. Enjoy the freedom and excitement of our A la Carte Bike Trips!
Each one of our bike trips is customized for you!
Bike tour group size: Our group size is small; from two to fourteen riders. Our average group size is six riders.
Our Price: The way we work is this; your group shares the overhead costs, meaning the per person trip price will vary depending on the number of participants. Your group can choose between nice two stars, three stars or luxury hotels, and all evening meals are included. Our formula also allows you to bring your own bike or use one of ours. TTT can supply lightening fast Carbon race bikes and E-bikes on all of our trips. Ask us.
We also keep your time in the TTT van to an absolute minimum. Many tour operators have mandatory van transfers to ride starts and transfers back to your hotel at the end of your ride. With TTT you can ride hotel to hotel - on your bike, not in our support van. The van however, is almost always nearby, so you if you choose to end your day early, you may. See our section on Van Support.

The Ardeche
Another one of our newer trips that will exceed your expectations for cycling. We ride in the not-so-touristy Northern Ardeche where you are unlikely to see a car some days. Roads everywhere, gentle climbs, lovely downhills and a mild climate make this an absolute gem for riding. Prices starting at 2200€.
Cycling in TUSCANY
OR
Cycling in Chianti
Tuscany is so beautiful. So of course we have two trips here! You really should slow down and ride in Bella Toscana with TTT. You will see, smell and feel Tuscany better than anyone stuffed inside a tour bus or a rental car. We have seen the admiring looks for almost two decades of trips. Stunning cycling, food and vino. Plus, we have found some of the best “hidden” Gelaterias in Tuscany. Prices starting at 2600€* for 5 nights in Tuscany or 3500€ for 7 nights on our bigger Chianti trip.
EPIC European ALPS
One of our biggest and toughest weeks; Geneva to Bormio, the long way. 1000kms, 23,000m ascent and 23 Cols in 3 countries and 4 languages. The easiest day is 3000m and 140k. On the last day, you ride all three sides of the Stelvio. We can make this trip a lot easier if you wish, and stretch it out over 10 days, or we can make a lighter, friendlier and shorter version for you. Prices for the big version starting at 2300€* for 7 nights.
Majorca
In a word, amazing! The riding, that is, and beautiful (weather too)! The island is split in half by the Serra di Tramuntana Mountains which are in the north. Our trip follows these and you ride east to west then back again. Low traffic volume and very smooth asphalt. Cap Formentor and Sa Calobra are the rides this week! Prices starting at 2995€* for 6 nights.
Provence
Beautiful hotels, great restaurants, an astonishing lack of traffic, warm and dry weather all equates to some of the best riding in Europe! Welcome to TTT’s Provence. This has been one of our favourites for years and also our client favourite. We have 3 types of trips in the region; leisure, luxury or a week including Ventoux. Prices starting at 2400€* for 5 nights.
Gorgeous Gorges
This hilly trip is definitely not for the faint of heart as the roads are narrow, with some steep drop-offs, many switchbacks, unlit tunnels and over-hanging rock walls. The perfect trip to bring your mother-in-law for her very first European cycling vacation. Stunning scenery, and no cars! We’ve been looking for an area like just this ... for 20 years. We found it! Prices starting at 2000€* for 5 nights.
Piedmonte
One of our newest trips, Piedmonte has everything that you want in a cycling vacation. Very few cars, plenty of choice for routes, nice hotels and the food is probably the best out of all of our trips. Their wine is World Class as well. Is there a downside? No. But it is quite hilly, which suits most of our riders. But an E-Bike will level the playing field right away. Prices starting at 2500€ per person.
MONT VENTOUX
Mont Ventoux is a magnet for cyclists worldwide. We stay at the foot of the mountain for two or three nights (you decide this during our pre trip conversations). Near to Ventoux, there is the Suzette region and the Gorges de la Nesque, both will blow you away! Ride Ventoux once … you will never regret it. Prices starting at 2200€* for 5 nights.
Dolomites
We take on the Sella Ronda, Giau, Pordoi, Fedaia, Campolongo and the daunting Zoncolan to name just a few of the climbs. The Dolomite range is known for being one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in the world having 18 peaks over 3000m in height. The Sud Tirol is truly an impressive region. Prices starting at 2600€* for 6 nights.
€* All prices quoted above are based on groups of 6. Prices will vary with smaller or larger groups.
