"When something is so good you keep going back for more!!! I've now done three tours with Kim and Kerry and can highly recommend them. They are not just a tour company but go that extra step to create a real experience - that's what makes them different and creates the best memories. The 2019 Grande Italia tour was spectacular, jaw dropping scenery, epic climbs, food, wine, great company and loads of laughs... I would go again in a heart beat. Thank you guys for another amazing holiday."

"We have just arrived home after doing the Alpes Ventoux Tour. In short, the experience was outstanding! From initial communications to the final celebratory dinner and drop off at the airport we can only but highly recommend Velo Tours to anyone wanting to experience great riding and great company. There is nothing more we could of asked for and will definitely use Velo Tours again when we do our next tour, whether at home or abroad! Thanks again Kerry & Kim"

"Another smashing tour by the Velo Tours crew! After experiencing the Alpes-Ventoux tour last year I just had to come back to take on the Pyrénées! Kim, Kerry and their fabulous team did not disappoint, nor did the mammoth climbs, spectacular scenery and Tour de France fever! I cannot speak highly enough of the Velo Tours experience - so much so that I'm returning next year to make it 3 years in a row!
Thanks again team - stellar performance! "

- "In late 2018 I researched cycling tours in northern Italy and picked Velo Tours Australia for my 2019 trip for 2 reasons; firstly, their Grande Italia tour ticked all the boxes in terms of ride destinations and climbs. And secondly for their competitive pricing. My initial enquiries were met with prompt, informative responses from Kim and I knew I'd made the right call.
Kim and Kerry did not disappoint. Accommodation and food met and often exceeded expectations. They managed the needs and wishes of a diverse group very well (thanks again Kerry for doing the extra 50km around Lake Como and up the back of the Ghisalla with me in the heat when everyone else bailed after the first 50. It was a bucket list thing and a real highlight for me). Finishing the tour with lakeside accommodation on Lake Como was a stroke of genius.
Additional ride guides PC Pete and Brad were a big help and great company as were the other paying customers. Now, for some reason, I can't get the Velo Tours Pyrenees/Tour de France tour out of my head.........."Mick P, Adelaide, SA
The tour exceeded my expectations. You were all so generous with your time and support it enabled us all to bond quickly which added to the experience. Your ability to tailor the tour and cater for riders of all levels of capability was incredible and everyone was made to feel a success. I cannot thank you enough and hope to tour with you again.

The ease of travelling with this group means you can just get on with what you went there to do - enjoy cycling with like minded people as everything else is taken care of 👍🏼 Thanks for a great experience! Hope to be back!

What an amazing trip my son Dylan and I had with Velo Tours. The effort Kim and Kerry put in to making it a trip of a lifetime is amazing. Thank you both for being such great hosts. The cycling was awesome, accommodation first class and many yummy food options. Dylan and I will be back to do the Italy trip 🚴♂️

Velo Tours exceeded all expectations. The French Alps tour was amazing in every way. Crazy amount of support on and off the bike. Nothing was too much trouble for the team. If you want a cycling tour that all you have to do is show up ready for a good time and have someone else take care of all the details for you, look no further than Velo Tours. Get on it.

Did the Pyrenees tour in 2019 with Kim & Kerry - by far the best cycling trip I have ever done - very flexible and friendly family run tour group and the best way to see the TDF and ride in the mountains at your own pace 👍👍👍👍

The Alpes tour was fantastic. This is a highly professional team with a personal touch. All you need to do is cycle, eat, sleep and then repeat. A great balance between terrific cycling experiences, fun and food without having to worry about anything other than your legs. Will be back for more.

I've just returned from cycling in the French Alps. This was my 3rd trip with Velo Tours and I can assure you they are the best. Kerry & Kim along with Tim & Gordie guarantee a great cycling trip and take care of everything. I have recommended them to friends with the guarantee that if they are not happy I'll pay for the trip, this demonstrates just how good they are. I'll be back on Tour in 2020 celebrating my 50th Birthday with Velo Tours on the Giro Tour, can't wait.

Just wanted to say how awesome our time has been on the Italy Giro tour 2018. Awesome driving, incredible food, great accommodation and the best riding ever. Really impressed with the rides Kerry and Kim and Henk have orchestrated for us. Caught up with a couple of tour stages, rode in heat, rain and snow. Conquered the big rides - Stelvio, Mt Zoncolan, Gavia, Montorolo and had fun at Lake Como. Nothing short of spectacular. Looking forward to our next adventure with you.

Having just finished a wonderfully challenging tour of the Pyrenees I wish it would never have ended. The Velotours staff go above and beyond to ensure each and every one of us left with our bucket lists ticked and a huge smile on our faces. We were all treated like family, not just customers, and relished the opportunity to "live like a local" in Luchon. Au Revoir......until next time

Can't believe we got to pack so much action into the time with Velo Tours, they really know their stuff! But it's the customer attention and focus on the small things as well that makes them so special!

My husband and I decided to do the Velotours Alps tour in July and every bit of it was absolutely exceptional. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful, but what made it even more special were the tour hosts, Kim and Kerry and their dedicated staff. From the moment we arrived they made us feel special. Nothing was a problem. They went out of their way to make sure that individual needs were accommodated and this ranged from adjusting our daily route rides (to suit different riding skills and interests or weather) to dinner menus, etc. Their experience and their customer-centric focus meant they had always anticipated the needs of their participants. I kid you not, these tour hosts are amazing! Riding through the Alps was made even more memorable because of the Velotours hosts.

I have just come back from doing the East Coast Tassie Tour with 9 of my cycling buddies. We all had the most amazing time and all of us rated the trip 10/10. What made it so special for us was the way Kerry and Kim looked after us. They really are the most amazing hosts and it was the little extra things they did for us that made it truly memorable. Nothing was a problem even when we wanted to change a few things like going bushwalking or visits to MONA - they ferried us around. When one of our guys complained about his 'snoring' room buddy, they even gave up their room at the hotel so he could have his own room. Would we go with them again? ABSOLUTELY and we're already starting to plan our West Coast Tassie Tour.

- "I just returned from tour with Kim, Kerry and Henk at the 2018 Giro . It’s easy to write I loved it and enjoyed every moment but that’s not what I want to say the most .... I did have an absolute ball and ate awesome food in amazing locations....I did get totally looked after and spoilt and truely felt like I was on holidays .... But what I wanted to say is that I am a terrible descender on my bike and to be honest I was frightened to go on such a tour in the Dolomites!!! What was I thinking ... these are not hills, they are mountains !!! If it wasn’t for Kim, Kerry and Henk, I couldn’t have gone to these mountains.... I love riding UP but it limits me terribly that I can’t go down!!! Not only did Kim pick me up and drive me down, but also encouraged me and helped me to get down eventually on my own ! Thanks guys .... I can’t thank you enough , I gained some confidence and made an awesome bunch of new friends .... we are already planning our next one xxx."Tara P, Mooloolaba. QLD
"It was the experience of a lifetime!!
There were 9 of us who had the big dream of riding in France and experiencing the TDF in all its glory. The planning began early and it became apparent that company for us was Velo Tours. Both Kerry and Kim's customer service ethic made it very hard to choose any other company. They ensured that all of our individual requirements were understood and dealt with sensitively and all communication was first class including the newsletters which had us whipped into a lather of excitement.
When the tour finally came around, the commitment and dedication of the Velo Tours team to ensure that this was the 'experience of a lifetime' became a reality. We all had a fantastic time both on the bike and off the bike, including at the 'Velo Tours' Aussie Corner' on the Alpe d'Huez stage. Thank you to Kim and Kerry and the Velo Tours team for such an incredible experience - the memories will be with us forever. "

"I am speaking for everyone here. You guys did an AMAZING job in planning and organising the entire trip.
The accomodation was excellent the restaurants and the food were all excellent everything exceeded our expectations. You can tell everyone was invested in ensuring we had a great time and you couldn’t have asked for more than that. Nothing seems liked trouble for you guys even with all our quirky requests. "D" who has been on a lot of these trips and seems very suited to the mountains said your trip was the best trip and the best value for money he has ever been on.
I am so glad we enlisted you, Velo tours, to run the trip it took all the hassle out of it and made it even that more enjoyable. We will definitely use you again for our next trip and the trips there after. ."

"It was a memorable trip, and could not have been better organised. You looked after us so well that we felt quite spoilt.We’ll be in touch about another trip for sure!

"Loved every minute. I don't think I would change anything- the monthly newsletters were good, logistics excellent and flexibly really really good and appreciated - everyone could ride as much as they wanted."

"Great times, great people and life long memories. Huge thanks to Kim, Kerry, Tim, Asha & Ben. A sensational team that provided an amazing experience. We will be back."
