Why Cyclomundo?

The choice is simple: would you prefer traveling with someone who may visit your travel destination a couple of times a year OR with someone who knows the region and the country inside and out, and has chosen to make it home?

Because we are truly flexible!

Vacation services range from independent self-guided trips to expertly guided tours and self-designed custom holidays.

We offer a wide range of services that can be tailored to meet your specific needs and desires. Instead of offering inflexible tours in countries we barely know, we concentrate on what we know very well: France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Switzerland. Our vacation services range from independent self-guided trips to expertly guided tours and self-designed custom holidays. We can arrange for luggage transfers, bicycle rentals, special restaurants, and diverse interests. Whether traveling individually, as a family, a group, or a cycling club; whether the expense account is lavish or the budget limited; and whether the objective is to tackle the highest mountains like a mountain goat or meander along mellow country lanes at a snail’s pace, we have something for everyone and we'll work with you to find exactly that!

We strive to provide the best possible service to make the most of your holiday.

We are local experts and we work with local expert to organize the most authentic experience

Because we provide you with an authentic experience...

Forget the non-descript and indistinguishable big chain hotels; we use genuine places with local charm. Most of the properties we choose are family-run, ranging from actual farmhouses, to converted B&B homes and chateaux, to wine making estates. Some are so intimate that they have as few as two rooms, while others are small hotels. All properties are run by people who have a passion for their region and its cultural, gastronomic, and historical heritage. We go out of our way to find these places for you because these are the types of experiences we would want.

Cyclomundo is a network of tourism professionals and passionate people. Human first!

Because there are people behind Cyclomundo!

We are a small company and we intend to remain that way. Our staff is passionate and knows what they’re talking about. As you will see from this website, very little is automated. When you send us a request, you won’t get an automated e-mail with attachments and a booking form! We’ll take the time to answer your questions and address all your issues. As you will see if you book with us, we don’t even ask you for your payment information at the time of booking… only when the tour is 100% set up, so you’re 100% satisfied!

Because we love cycling and France! And Switzerland! And Spain! And Italy! And Portugal!

We at Cyclomundo want to share this vision with you, as well as our passion for the heritage, culture, and gastronomy that these marvelous countries have to offer.
