Tour description
Embark on a cycling journey through the Loire Valley from Blois to Angers, passing iconic sites such as Chambord, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Amboise, Chenonceau, Azay-le-Rideau, Chinon, Fontevraud, and Saumur.
An immersive cycling holiday between Blois and Angers
From Blois to Angers, you’ll discover the many faces of the Loire Valley. Quiet cycle paths and small rural roads guide you past some of the region’s most celebrated Renaissance châteaux, including Chambord, Chaumont-sur-Loire, Chenonceau, Villandry, Azay-le-Rideau, and Ussé — the château that inspired the Sleeping Beauty fairytale.
This stretch of the Loire also hides treasures such as the Abbey of Fontevraud and impressive medieval fortresses like Langeais, Chinon, and Angers, the latter home to the largest known medieval tapestry.
Along the way, you’ll experience the shifting colors of the Loire landscape and spot traditional “toues,” the flat-bottomed boats that glide between the river’s sandbanks. And no visit to this region would be complete without a taste of its renowned wines — notably those from the Chinon and Saumur vineyards.

The electric bikes made the trip a dream and gave us more time to see sites. When we had a couple of issues on the road they sent somebody on a taxi to deliver parts. The accommodations were wonderful, the directions in Ride with GPS were clear and we appreciated the extra tour options to stop and see other sites. We will use them again.

Excellent experience. I traveled alone from Colombia. I took the Prague to Passau tour. Communication was excellent, as was the bike (I requested a gravel bike). The hotels were good, all bike-friendly (they had a designated bike storage area). Highly recommended.

Our party of four enjoyed ourselves immensely riding the standard Prague-to-Dresden route in reverse, found the hotels to be a nice balance of convenience and comfort, and had zero issues with the bikes. We have used the RidewithGPS app before and found it to be a great asset on this ride too. We highly recommend bike tours.com and their in-country affiliates. William A.

My wife and I recently completed a guided 8-day cycling trip from Prague to Krakow. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The scenery was beautiful. The back roads we cycled on were generally quiet with very few motorized vehicles, although cycling through a few towns was a little sketchier. The cycling itself was easy to moderate, averaging just over 60km/day with an average elevation of just over 300...08 Oct

The tour was well organized and the daily routes were interesting. The hotels were also good. Only the hotel in Karlovy Vary was difficult to reach by bike, as the road is very steep and there was very limited parking.07 Oct

Ever since I returned to the U.S. five days ago, from our incredible 12 day biking trip from Prague to Budapest, (a little over 400 miles), I keep telling all my friends and family that it was “the trip of a lifetime!”. Yet, in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, “I want to do this again!” The beauty of that part of the world is mind blowing and so fulfilling! Being able to ride bikes (e-bikes for us 60-somethings) through mountains and valleys, quaint little villages, pedaling along the Danube, and visiting historical (4th century castle!) sites was just breathtaking. Europe Bike Tours made everything possible, seamless and easy to manage. Lukas and his VERY adept team were helpful at every turn. We had complete confidence in them, and are super appreciative of all the help we received during our trip.Thank you for an incredible experience!
