Duvine Adventures Biography
The Bike Tour Reviews
Fully Supported (guides, bikes, luggage transfer, route maps, et al)
Adventure Travel Group. This company, started by a couple of seasoned tour guides, provides a more intimate travel experience and their tours are a very good value. Groups are limited to 14 people max, they stay in smaller, more classic inns (2-4 stars) and the owners are the main guides. An added (and unusual!) perk: They will cater to couples where one is cycling and the other is just "coming along for the ride". Companions – Many of their trips are setup for people that are serious about cycling (Giro d'Italia, Mt. Ventoux), so you are getting a somewhat more fit crowd. A selection of "hot new" tour destinations (Croatia, Argentina) adds to a hipper vibe, too. Rider Reviews
Austin Lehman Adventures. These folks have been providing bike tours in Europe for over 30 years (under both this name and Euro Bike and Walking Tours) and have a wide variety of tour choices in over 15 countries. Each trip offers a mix of 3, 4 and 5 star accommodations (we are all in favor of this ... there is something to be said about going from authentic inn one day to 5-star luxury villa the next). Family Vacations and Private Tours are also available. The rides aren't super-strenuous. On most days they ride less than 35 miles a day. Austin Lehman, which provides adventure travel tours throughout thw world, was voted "Best Tour Operator in the World" by Travel+Leisure magazine. . Rider Reviews
Butterfield & Robinson. If you want to stay at the most luxurious accommodations, eat the best food, and be catered-to every step of the way, this is the company for you. Oh yeah, we forgot to mention: money is no object, right? Yes, you’re paying at least 20% more, but with B & R you are getting “The Ritz” in level of quality of service and accommodations. However, they balance every trip with home-hosted meals ... in places like Tuscany and Vietnam this kind of experience will be more memorable than any top-tier restaurant. Companions – Get ready to meet 45-year-old heart surgeons and their wives (or husbands!). The typical client is a doctor, lawyer or business owner. No problem going single, but you do have to pay for a single supplement if going it alone. The group won’t be partying it up each night, but you’ll have your fill of foie gras, truffles and fine wine. Rider Reviews
