Tour Guides

What differentiates us from other cycle tour operators? Clearly our tour guides!

At Mercurio Bike Travel you will find only guided cycle holidays. This means, in comparison to self-guided tours you will receive information, which can't be found in any written tour book. Our guides are bilingual which makes it easy for you to get all your questions answered.

Besides guiding you around at daylight and joining the group for dinner at night they arrange luggage transport to the next hotel, prepare delicious picnics at lunchtime, offer a seat in our escort car if needed and manage everything that may come up else.
