What to Expect

TDA Global Cycling has over 20 years of field-tested know-how, having organized successful cycling experiences to all corners of the globe. Our adventures bring cyclists to destinations both well-travelled and off-the-beaten-path. Before, during, and after the tour, we support our riders in all aspects of the journey. Here are four areas that will set your TDA tour experience apart.

1. Fully Supported Cycling Adventures

Experienced Support Staff

Tour leader, bike mechanic, chef, medic, and more keep you on your bike and pointed in the right direction throughout the tour.

Support Vehicles

Only carry what you need for the day. Make use of a lift from a support vehicle when you’re unable to ride.

Unique Lodging Options

From 3 star hotels to eclectic indoor accommodation to rugged camping, depending on your choice of tour.

Food for Hungry Cyclists

We pride ourselves on providing tasty, nutritious and plentiful meals – whether prepared by our chef (camp tours) or at the hotel restaurant.
