Cycle into ancient history

Greece bike tours.

Greece is a colorful land, bursting with culture and beauty. Bordered by the Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean seas, its uniquely rich history is etched in every corner, including archaeological remnants of ancient Greek civilization.

Cyclists adore the sunny weather and low humidity for year-round activity. The mountains and hills of Greece are prime topographies for mountain biking and moderate road cycling.

Visit at least one of Greece’s 6,000 islands, which are destination central for many biking and boat tours. Vibrant architecture, delicious cuisine and stunning waters make this a prime cycling destination.

“We were drawn into the sumptuous landscape of the Peloponnese from the first kilometers of our ride around Tripoli, as were taken intimately through a wonderful and beautiful landscape.”

What They're Saying

Unexpected little gem during our week in Stowe

Out of all the exciting things we did during our week in Stowe, Vermont, this proved to be one of the most fun. It’s great because it’s relaxing yet you get some good exercise. The scenery is beautiful and there are some fun little things to check out along the path. We did a six-hour rental which was nice since it allows you to go at your own pace and be spontaneous if you want.     _Barry T.

Cannot Say Enough Great Things about this e-bike experience!  Jim, the owner is way beyond the average when it coes to customer service and peronability. Truly Superb. The Trails is beatiful and the experience with this rental outfit was absolutley the best day of our trip to VT. Thank you so much! Cant' wait to come back!     _Ryan B.

Do Not Miss This!

This is such a fun recreational activity with breathtaking scenery especially in the fall! The staff are super friendly, very accommodating and knowledgeable of the trail and area. Great little towns to stop in along the trail that have nice little cafes and restaurants. Dog's Head on the river is a must stop. Very relaxing! Lastly, I can't say enough about how fun the ebikes are. They just put an infectious smile on your face while you pedal along with the pedal assist feature. We just did the half day ride because we had other things on our itinerary but I would easily schedule the whole day next time. Absolutely worth every penny.     _Fred R.

For everyone

My wife and I took our first ebike ride here. The ebikes make it an activity that doesn't wear you out. The path is mostly level with a few inclines at road crossings. Outside, Autumn air, and turning leaves, what could be better? You can stop along your trip in one of the towns and enjoy shopping or a beverage of your choice. Jim took good care of is, explaining how to use the bikes as well as a little bit about the bike trail's many places to stop.    _Don C.

Country Roads + Covered Bridges: Farm-to-Table in the Green Mountain State

Our Levels range from 1-4. Learn more .

Tour Highlights

• Ride across the Green Mountain state, from the rich farmland of the Champlain Valley to Smugglers’ Notch, one of Vermont’s bucket list climbs
• Stay at two boutique properties in picturesque New England towns: a bed and breakfast on 45 serene acres and a country retreat in charming Stowe
• Visit local farms to sample produce, cheeses, cider, and more, and get to know the people paving the way to a culinary revolution
• Step into Chef Matt Jennings’ world with a healthy lunch at his house and barn kitchen, followed by a ride on his favorite local roads

Organic cheeses, the finest grades of maple syrup, free-range meats, artisanal bread, and garden-fresh vegetables

World-famous micro-brews and apple cider

As featured in:

The Champlain Valley

Meet your guides in Burlington for a quick transfer into the Champlain Valley. Here, we’ll meet Chef Matt Jennings at his restored barn and kick off the trip with lunch featuring products from his favorite local farms. Then it’s time for our first ride through the agricultural breadbasket of Vermont. Stop in scenic Bristol for a creemee, the state’s beloved soft serve, then choose to transfer to our first hotel or opt for an extra climb over Lincoln Gap—widely considered the most challenging of the four passes that cross the mountains of central Vermont. Check into our picturesque inn in the heart of the Mad River Valley before tonight’s private dinner with the hotel chef.

Meals : Lunch / Dinner Destinations : Bristol, Lincoln, Waitsfield Accomplished : 22 miles / 35 km, elevation gain: 1,879 feet / 573 meters Longer Option : 37 miles / 60 km, elevation gain: 3,982 feet / 1,214 meters Accommodations : The Inn at Round Barn Farm

Exploring the Mad River Valley

Situated at the center of the state, the Mad River Valley’s reputation as a ski destination is well-known. But the summertime brings a whole different set of pleasures: a massive network of gravel roads lie parallel to the main corridor on Route 100, lined with farms that yield a staggering variety of local products: organic meats, small-batch cheeses, shiitake mushrooms, berries, and heirloom butter. Today is a veritable two-wheel farm tour as we bike around the valley meeting these producers, sampling their goods, and putting a face to a new generation of agriculture. The afternoon culminates in an al fresco lunch at a mountain farmstead. Bike back to Waitsfield to relax before dinner.

Meals : Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner Destinations : Waitsfield, Warren, Sugarbush Accomplished : 31 miles / 50 km, elevation gain: 3,244 feet / 989 meters Longer Option : 45 miles / 73 km, elevation gain: 5,218 feet / 1,772 meters Accommodations : The Inn at Round Barn Farm

Cider and Stowe

Today we leave Round Barn and head north into Stowe following the Mad River. Cross the Winooski River before pedaling into Waterbury, a frozen-in-time New England town where we’ll pause for lunch. Back on our bikes, we’ll head to Hunger Mountain with a stop at a local farm to sip some fresh-pressed apple cider. Catch a lift to our next hotel in the van, or choose to keep riding to the Gold Brook Covered Bridge. Built in 1844, this protected landmark is the area’s only surviving example of an original covered bridge. Upon reaching our next hotel, settle in and relish the amenities of the property before heading into Stowe later in the evening for dinner.

Meals : Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner Destinations : Middlesex, Waterbury, Stowe Accomplished : 22 miles / 35 km, elevation gain: 1,066 feet / 324 meters Longer Option : 32 miles / 51 km, elevation gain: 2,095 feet / 639 meters Accommodations : Edson Hill or Talta Lodge

Smugglers' Notch

When in Vermont, Smugglers’ Notch tops the list of must-do rides. This narrow, twisty pass is understandably challenging—it serves as a ski resort in wintertime—and we’ll approach it through the Green Mountains, hauling our way up the 1,000-foot cliffs. After a few warmup miles we hit a six-mile section at 5% average grade; luckily, the waterfalls and mountain views make for a good distraction. At last, we’re rewarded with a long, exhilarating descent that’s full of epic leaf peeping in the fall. With our big ride behind us, sit down to lunch at a local farm and refuel on home-grown produce. Call it a day and return to Stowe for an afternoon of shopping and strolling the town. Or, if you’re feeling strong, tackle Smugglers’ Notch in reverse and earn bragging rights for conquering this pass forwards and backwards. We’ll spend our final evening together celebrating over a festive final dinner.

Meals : Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner Destinations : Smugglers’ Notch, Jeffersonville, Pleasant Valley Accomplished : 21 miles / 33 km, elevation gain: 2,076 feet / 633 meters Longer Option : 36 miles / 59 km, elevation gain: 4,542 feet / 1,384 meters Accommodations : Edson Hill or  Talta Lodge

Country Roads

Savor a slow start at Edson Hill—perhaps a fireside coffee or crisp morning walk—or take out your bike for one last loop on Vermont’s rolling roads. Your guides will transfer you back to downtown Burlington or to the airport as you bid farewell to this beautiful corner of the country.
