BONJOUR!

A TRUE FRENCH EXPERIENCE...

If you want a 'Business Only' tour where you get to climb the big cols without the madness and the crowds of the Tour de France, then our Classic Cols tours are for you. Challenge yourself on a long list of the major climbs with a few lesser known options thrown in that are equally as challenging if not spectacular. Staying in small villages close to the famous cols, our tours are a true cultural experience.
FULLY SUPPORTED
All our tours are fully supported with Velo Tours' riders on the road and vans stocked with food & water so you can call it a day at any time.
