Our Philosophy

Gordes Provence, France

Our goal and delight is seeing the excitement in the faces of our travelers. Our satisfaction is in the knowledge that our carefully crafted trips and personal attention have exceeded your expectations ― knowing your return home is full of stories to share and memories to treasure. We invite you to experience these beautiful regions with the thrill of discovery as well as the comfort of your own back yard. Be it the freedom of biking through rolling hills of olive groves, the joy of dining in the shadows of ancient Roman ruins, or the peace of sunning next to your luxury hotel's pool, this is your trip. We are thrilled to make it memorable for you. Responsible travel is a must in today’s world and what better way to travel but in an eco-friendly manner on bicycle, enjoying farm-fresh meals made from local ingredients and sipping wine from the neighboring village.

Who We Are

Unlike the other travel companies, Gourmet Cycling Travel is owner-operated. Our years of knowledge and passion combine in order to provide you with the trip of which you have always dreamed. In both of our chosen professions, we have preferred a hands-on approach. Because we are your guides, there will be no need to explain with whom you’re traveling on a given day. Between the two of us, we have lived and worked on a combined total of 5 continents and travelled to 6. Passionate about travel and what we do, we strive to keep every trip fresh and innovative, finding adventure under every previously unturned stone.

What Sets Us Apart

Owner operated by Simon & Jon ― an internationally recognized former pro cyclist and a Michelin starred chef, we are your guides. This allows us to give professional and truly personalized service at a great value. We wish to convey our passion to you directly for these dynamic cultures and regions, priding ourselves on our enthusiastic approach to travel and cycling. We thank you for giving us this opportunity and invite you to discover both the invigorating and relaxing lifestyle found on a Gourmet Cycling trip.
