Touring Companies
There are a number of bike tour companies operating throughout
the state, and they can vary greatly from each other on the
types of tours they offer, the number of "extra" activities
(ex. hiking, kayaking) that they include or that are optional,
the price, dates and lengths of tours, etc. Most tours average
12-20 people and are led by an experienced guide. They all offer
Websites which much more information (including pricing and
availability), and most have catalogs that you can order for
free online.
Bike Vermont
When it comes to the sheer number of tours available, you can't
beat Bike Vermont. Most
of the tours feature inn-to-inn biking, where you travel (at
your own pace) from one inn to another while a van serves as
luggage carrier/mobile repair shop/rolling snack bar. Bike Vermont
offers around twenty tours covering the whole state, from the
Shelburne/Lake Champlain and Northeast Kingdom areas down to
several central and southern Vermont tours (some with kayaking
or hiking options). The length of the tours run from three to
seven days, and their Website does a great job of breaking down
the tour options and listing pricing and availability. You can
make reservations online, or call 1-800-257-2226. Bike Vermont
also offers tour options on Ireland and Scotland. |
