We first became known for our annual event from Cairo to Cape Town – the Tour d’Afrique which since 2003 has become a classic route and recently featured in Lonely Planet’s Epic Bike Rides of the World book.
The North American Epic and South American Epic are the world’s longest supported cycling tours – each at 5.5 months and over 13,500 km in length. Our growing list of grand cycling adventures crossing Europe and South East Asia allows cycle tourists to dream bigger and aim a little higher in their cycle touring goals with trips crossing countries and continents in emerging and offbeat cycle touring destinations. We were voted the Best Adventure Travel Company in 2015 by the travel editors at the Independent newspaper in the UK.
