Self Guided
Moderate
Our moderate cycling tours are designed for riders who want to genuinely feel the ride — longer days in the saddle, more rewarding ascents, and the quiet satisfaction of covering real ground through the heart of Europe's finest cycling regions. These are the tours that most experienced recreational cyclists find just right: demanding enough to be memorable, manageable enough to stay enjoyable. From the vine-clad hills of Tuscany to the river valleys of the Moselle, moderate tours offer a more immersive and physical experience of the landscapes you're riding through.

Moderate tours suit cyclists with a good base level of fitness who ride regularly — a few times per week, or the equivalent. You should be comfortable cycling continuously for several hours and handling rolling hills without too much difficulty. This category also suits those who've completed a leisurely tour and are ready for more, as well as road cyclists or sportive riders looking for a scenic, supported touring alternative to their usual training.
Expect daily distances in the range of 55 to 80 kilometres, with regular rolling hills and occasional steeper climbs woven into the route. Total elevation gain per day can reach 800 to 1,200 metres on hillier stages. Routes may include a mix of dedicated cycling infrastructure and open roads, and you'll need to be comfortable in the saddle for five to six hours at a touring pace. Luggage is transferred each day, a support vehicle is on hand throughout, and accommodation is carefully selected to round off each stage in comfort.
You should be able to ride comfortably for four to five hours and handle regular hills. Cycling two or three times a week is a good indication you're ready for a moderate tour.
