Reviewed Bike Tours

Word of mouth is probably the most reliable source of information about a bike tour (or nearly anything!). And while you may not know anyone who has done the tour, or ridden with the operator, that you're considering, the next best source is fellow cycle tour fans who also use and rely on an open, independent, and impartial review platform that only deals with bike tours!

And it may not be for everyone, but if you have been on a great tour and had an awesome experience, wouldn't you want to share that with your friends and the rest of the cycling world! Alternatively a less than glowing review is also useful information for future participants as well as for the tour operator.

There are many resources available that review bike tours - some more reliable and useful than others. Tour operator sites themselves are also usually great, but how much reliance do you place on a site hosting reviews about their own products and services. Unfortunately there are unscrupulous players out there that spoil things for the vast majority who do the right thing ...

• How is Cycle Tours Global (CTG) different?
  • We are an open, independent, and impartial review platform that only deals with bike tours!
• Why are CTG reviews trustworthy?
  • Our verification system, without being too onerous, requires reviewers to have a registered account, including name and country, and also to say when the tour happened. Also tour operators are not able to post reviews on their own tours. Many sites skip these basic steps in the interests of just getting more reviews.
• Why does CTG not have more reviews?
  • We are a very niche site that only deals in bike tours. This means that only people who want to ride a bike when travelling will see the reviews - but who else should see them! Also some people get put off by having to register even minimal personal details - but that helps keep them authentic. Of course all personal information remains safe, secure and certainly not shared - see our privacy policy.

Apart from reviews, watching videos is another great way to get a good idea of what you can expect.
