Who We Are
I founded Velo Classic Tours with the goal of creating a different style of cycling travel for both the experienced cyclist and discerning traveler. Our primary focus is our commitment to customer service to create a distinctly personal feel to our trips. We continually strive to provide exemplary service to offer first class cycling trips through the authentic cultures of Europe. It's my belief that you hire the personality of the company when you select a tour operator. This unique personality goes a long way in determining the dynamic of the trip, and provides the potential for a rewarding experience. So when you're ready for something different, something personal and something unique, give me a call. Ride through history. Live in luxury. It's as simple as it sounds.

World-Class Cycling
All of our itineraries take you into the heart of European cycling. Our race viewing trips offer the chance to see The Spring Classics, Milan-San Remo, the Dauphine Libéré, The Clasica San Sebastian and the Giro di Lombardia. Cycling with us means flexibility- we pay attention to your ability and monitor your daily needs so you get the most out of your rides. Our individualized approach offers you the optimal cycling experience on your terms. How do we do that?
- Small groups. We take a maximum of 15 persons, less on some trips.
- Multiple ride options. So you're free to choose what suits you.
- Fully-equipped van service. We provide constant support with food, water, nutritional supplements, clothing, and of course, a free ride.
- Easy directions. Garmin 605 units are provided with turn by turn routes programmed in so you spend less time looking at a map, and more time enjoying your ride.
Our personal relationships and extensive network within the sport puts you in the care of the locals, and has you riding alongside some of the biggest personalities in cycling, including Scott Sunderland, Marcel Wüst and Andrea Tafi.
Authentic Culture
It's our belief that exploring the essence of European culture and life makes for a richer and more fulfilling travel experience. It is as equally important to us to visit a historically significant site as it is to ride a specific race route or climb a famous mountain. We personalize each of our itineraries with cultural highlights, whether it's a wine tasting, or a visit to a remote corner of town to view a special piece of art. Wherever you choose to travel, you will be immersed in the history and traditional customs of the region, with a multitude of choices that make you feel like a local. The benefits are many, and each day ends with first-class accommodations- ranging from understated sophistication and class to 5-star luxury-complemented with gourmet dinners and Michelin-rated restaurants.
Exemplary Service
We focus on what we do best- customer service- and utilize our wide range of professional contacts to deliver a world class riding and traveling experience.
