Cycle Touring Guides & Info

Here you can find routes and reviews of some of the cycle touring trips that we have done around the world. Most of these reports are written by Ian, the founder of Cycle Fiesta.

This section is based on our personal experiences, and hopefully will give you some resources to help plan your own cycle touring trip in regions where it is not so easy to find information. See here for more details.

Using These Guides

These guides are designed to provide information about less travelled parts of the world. We have not included our trips to Western Europe, the US and other places that are well documented. It is easy enough to research such routes on your own using Google Maps and many other resources.

The routes were ridden both on road and off-road, so check the individual tour for more details. In the guides we provide information about road conditions (traffic, surface), culture and different route options.

On longer tours we have broken down the trip into sections to make it more maneagble to read. You can find maps, gps tracks and points of interest along the routes, which we hope can provide some useful information for you to plan your own cycle tours in these regions.

We run cycling holidays in Spain, France and Italy for our job, so have a lot of experience planning routes. This section of the website is for information only and there are no affiliate links or paid recommendations. Everything is based on our own (sometimes subjective) experiences, so bear that in mind when reading!

These guides and trip reviews may not be up to date, particularly in parts of the world where construction is happening a break neck pace (I am looking at you China!). So please be aware of this. We do not accept any responsibility for any injury or other issue. These are for information only and should be a starting point for organising your own trip!
